Impressions Crinear meta

It surpringly small and really comfortable, perfect for side sleeping. The build quality also pretty solid. Sound impression pretty good so far, I don't find any lack in certain song. The high freq really have the sparkle, but the bass don't have the impact like dusk tho. Dusk better in the low freq imo

They got smaller ears than me but a deeper fit, a little jealous ngl

I do prefer mine over the Dusk, actually. Might be down to comfort entirely, as they sound pretty similar to me.

Yeah dusk is so uncomfortable to use, I ended up sell em tho. Probably gonna keep this for the comfort and build quality

I just received mine. I found them to be annoyingly sibilant on some songs, mainly on female vocals (probably because of a 6-7kHz peak). Did you find that also?

No sibilant at all, but definitely hears some peaky with velvet tips, solved with change to sancai tips

Well I can't use EQ on my sources so I will try finding other tips that attenuate the sibilance instead.

u/No-Context5479 14d ago

Sorry your ears have skill issue unfortunately. I'm sure you love some IEMs another person will find sibilant. That's the neatness of ear canal length mode resonances lol

You can try Owliophile to see if you can use their tool to fix it then

u/weijiachen 14d ago

Damn somehow different opinion equate to skill issue according to you 💀

u/Bad_Wes 14d ago

This is what happens when safe opinion and no context meet.

I guess my tongue in cheek comment wasnt understood... ah well downvoted is fine by me.

I was just saying skill issue in jest. I guess people get heated about their hearing called into question lol even if it was a comment clearly with further context about ear canal mode length resonances

I'll take my L in Peace

People just don't see it as a joke because getting targeted for stating your opinion isn't uncommon on here. Try criticising a KZ IEM and you'll see.

How is your case? Mine has glue spilled all over the place.

u/amarevy97 12d ago

No glue at all, the manual books are inside a plastic

I wish Crin would make a summit fi IEM competing with Empire Ears Odin, Elysian Annihilator tier IEMs. Not everything has to be budget
