Well he told us to buy dusk instead, so i'm assuming that means we're stuck until we do.

[@m-zurowski]

Same here, I'm disappointed 😅 But jokes aside, that's a serious proposition from Crinacle, I'm really impressed

[@DefiantFrost]

Really happy for you man, I came in January to check out The Hangout and I stole your Dusk from you for like 20 minutes, then you and I bonded over our mutual appreciation for Universal restaurant in Carlton. The Dusk sounded incredible and I'm keen as fuck to get a pair, you deserve a good break now.

It's available for purchase on Ali right now, so they can't pull the joke to finance security level.

[@OneAverageDan]

Thank you for the detail you provide on your video, you addressed my exact issues with the blessing 3 with out me saying anything. Can't wait to try the new B3 Dusk. Also thank you for not rushing this product out just to have it now.

[@Jaytiss]

Gratz on the launch. Happy for you.

[@lowtech42]

Thank you for your hard work Crin!!! It's been long-awaited! I'm unemployed now but I'm sure I'll buy the Dusk at some point, especially since the B2D is my daily driver.

[@MattBorchert]

The included usb-c cable sold me. I just need this to be life changing. I believe.

[@KanyeWestFan69]

Making this into a separate iem with new driver config and everything instead of retuning is a very clever decision. As a blessing 2 owner, this is very very enticing

[@TJ746]

You had me at driver configuration. Sold

[@MiroslavHundak]

I'm not sure I can afford it right now, but I'll do something stupid and order them, because I really loved Blessing 2: Dusk and I want to have a good hybrid alternative to Timeless (AE), or Timeless II when it comes out. Thanks for all the care and thought you and Moondrop put into this project. The shells indeed look extra schmecksy.

[@kestrel8313]

What came after "don't die" really caught me off guard 😂

[@pholly]

I'm REALLY happy this has a DSP cable option but I think it would have been better to sell it separately as an addon and reduce the price for people who don't want it.

[@JoseFerreira-zb7wh]

yes. i already have a free dsp cable for instance.

[@juanblanco7898]

YES

[@kinfongyeung5400]

forged carbon is uhhh, not as strong as you may think. But I do have to agree that it looks nice as heck.

[@tomaszkarwik6357]

Isn't it like the cheapest way of making cf parts?

[@kinfongyeung5400]

@@tomaszkarwik6357 yes, but at the same time it loses any advantage carbon fiber offer, particularly in tensile strength. All structural load is basically being handled by the resin and carbon is purely cosmetics

[@SpaceShipDee]

​@kinfongyeung5400 This is not actually true. Forged carbon is used for structural components in high performance vehicles because it trades off carbon fibre's extreme linear tensile strength for omnidirectional loads. It's also better in compression and far superior in impact resistance. With a proper forged carbon part, you end up with a material approximately 1/3 the density of titanium for the same load.

[@justanotherguy7300]

Hi Crinacle, I noticed some wierd audio crackles in this video. I thought it was an issue with my setup or youtube at first, but it happens at specific points in the video, and isn`t present in other videos. Here are some time stamps, where it`s really noticable: 1:31 (on "that") 1:43 (on "blessing") 2:05 (on the end of "crinacle") 5:27 (on "dusk" and then theres like two more directly afterwards) 7:03 (on "minor") 9:58 (on "yes") there are a lot more, but these are some of the more obvious ones. Could be just some wierd bug with youtube audio, but you may want to look in on this. Otherwise great video, as always :) Edit: It`s also present at the same points, when listening on my smartphone and headphones in the youtube app. So it`s definitely the video and not my setup.

[@darionsolaris]

I can confirm I can hear them as well, so yeah it definitely is the video.

[@justanotherguy7300]

[@gabrieltheodore621]

I can see that this IEM took a lot of inspiration from the Hidition Viento. Not in terms of build, but in terms of customization

Just got mine today (after 18 days from China to France) ! Switching between the DSP profiles with Equalizer APO to find the one..and i think i'm slowly falling for the diffuse tilted, cause no fatigue here + sound ofc.

[@sangminlee2487]

Does this have the 'normal' bass? I've tried blessing 3 and its bass sounds so unnatural like there are only attack and decay, no sustain-release or reverb thing.

[@liammadridista2395]

I'll be honest I wasn't going to buy Dusk because I already have the B3. However with the new changes along with the DSP cable for a different tuning option It's a must buy. damn it crin this is bad for my bank account 😂

[@Tuskabanana]

@crinacle hi, im reading your tier list since years, i have Sennheiser IE 800, but they died :(), do you have recommendation, which in-ear will sound like that :)? best regards

[@Viraled]

@@Tuskabanana you should try the Dusk 🙂

[@apothecy4011]

Dusk is better than the IE1200, let alone the IE800

[@christianmartinez5173]

Tried it at Canjam, an absolutely fantastic sounding IEM

[@phetmoz]

Did the planar treble sound different (in a good way) from regular BAs? In what way? Also how was the bass?

[@drizzlydr4ke]

is it worth it?

[@juanblanco7898]

​​@@phetmoz How would one come to determine that? It has a unique FR, it's bound to sound different than any other set with whatever tweeter tech in it. There's no way to test that properly, unless you have two sets which are virtually identical in all regards (shape, frequency response, sensitivity and impedance) except for the tweeter drivers and have an ability to volume match. Micro-planars should (supposedly) have less odd order harmonic distortion, so there's that. It might be better in theory.

[@Okamine]

I'm buying this right now ❤

[@BaazSHAYAR]

I just searched best earphones to buy and now i don’t know why i am watching all of crinicals videos

[@shirgall]

There needs to be a way to power the DSP cable and still accept an mini jack input. Of course this means there needs to be a way for the app to adjust the DSP cable as well... or just offer a separate DSP amp for those that want to connect to some other source.

[@vasho_]

Oh, I see what happened here: Dusk is only (true) logical upgrade from my Truthear HEXA, purchased just a few months ago. So far, I don't see any better upgrade option.

No interchangeable plugs cable at this pricepoint is insulting tbh.

[@Lost1ntheSauc3]

All the nice features and you still find something to complain about

[@alexfizz7402]

@@Lost1ntheSauc3 I'll probably get this tbh. However, the lack of interchangeable plugs is an important downside imo because this is not an entry level product. This set is meant to be used with high-end gear and DAPs, which commonly have balanced outputs.

[@ThomasThePoet]

I just got Blessing3, and at first I wanted to hate it, but I’m falling in love with it. I used to be such a staunch, stubborn bass lover. But the blessing three has reformed me into a love of clarity, airiness, and neutrality. … I’m wondering if this dusk will have as much clarity and detail as the blessing three??

Can you recommend some IEMs that have a really low profile but still deliver on bass and sound in general? i want to wear them with my helmet and most IEMs are simply too fat to fit underneath comfortably (especially when taking the helmet off). The Shure SE215 work reasonably well but their newer BT variant isn't suitable while their older isn't produced anymore.

[@jsvn1357]

had to change faceplate due to short circuiting crossovers, but carbon fiber is also conductive..? is the curing resin enough to separate the carbon fiber from crossover circuit?

[@jeesby]

I have a question which may be a stupid one. Sorry i'm new here. If I'm looking for new IEMs to replace mine but i'd like something very similar in terms of tuning all while upgrading, does crinacle have a tool to identify similar IEMs? I know we can compare tunings but there are 1000+ IEMS it'll take forever. Is there a way to identify quickly similar tunings. FYI I have FH5s (I think Crinacle's favorite FIIOs)
