Elysian Annihilator 2023

  • Gizaudio Axel: Powerful, impactful bass, the best treble I’ve experienced in an IEM, endgame-level detail. The bass might be too much for some people. Hands down, my favorite IEM.
  • Jaytiss: Treble extension is insane, I always think I'm over it, but I may never be over it.
  • Precogvision: More of an all-rounder with better bass compared to the 2021 version, sacrifices some soundstage.
  • Tim Tuned: Pros: More defined bass than 2021 version. Cons: 2021 is cleaner and more open sounding.
  • Smirk Audio: Top-tier resolution with world-class treble. Great dynamics. Could use better bass texturing. An exciting listen.

Elysian Apostle

  • Jays Audio: Clean, neutral, and clear vocals. Reminds me of a cleaner Volume S or slightly better OG Oracle, but very expensive, maybe if you can find one around $1000 since it's more of a sidegrade to RSV,...
  • Gizaudio Axel: Incredibly textured bass, forward vocals, top-tier EST treble, and insane detail. Exceptional in every way.
  • Jaytiss: Instrument separation is good, and is a nice darkness.
  • IEMRanking AI: The Elysian Apostle delivers a V-shaped signature with a powerful, sub-bass-focused low end that offers substantial rumble and physicality, though some listeners might find it occasionally...

Elysian Annihilator 2021

  • Precogvision: Agressive listen with excellent resolution and, currently, the only true implementation of the EST drivers.
  • Tim Tuned: Pros: Speediest Treble, well extended, high details. Cons: Midbass a bit too much for me.
  • Shuwa-T: Strengths: Extremely well tuned set with incredible technical performance and extension. Weaknesses: Treble may be a little too spicy. Comment: Perfect for treble heads.
  • Nymz: Usual agressive and saturated Elysian house sound with the best treble ever.

Elysian X

  • Precogvision: Basically a more sub-bass focused Annihilator 2021 with some trade-offs in technicalities.
  • Tim Tuned: Pros: Near excellent timbre, fantastic bass. Cons: Slight uppermids uneverness.
  • Nymz: A more sub-bass focused Annihilator without the same level of technicalities and treble.

Elysian Diva

  • Gizaudio Axel: Dynamic driver-like bass, natural vocal reproduction, and an incredibly smooth tonality. Could use a bit more mid-bass for my taste. One of the best IEMs for vocals.
  • Precogvision: Excellent BA bass and aggressive listen that maintains Elysian's house sound.
  • Tim Tuned: Pros: Addictive smooth, natural treble....top tier tuning overall. Cons: mid bass shy.
  • Smirk Audio: Forward, hyperpigmented vocals. Great tuning and solid techs. 3-way bass switch adds tuning versatility. An exciting listen. Cons: Build quality concerns.
  • Shuwa-T: Strengths: Near perfect tuning, amazing bass response for BA and superb treble extension. Weaknesses: It got outsourced for production and now the QC is looking shoddier. Comment: Balanced sounding...
  • Nymz: Did nothing to my soul, but did nothing wrong as well.

Effect Audio x Elysian Gaea

  • Jays Audio: Super aggresive, exciting, v-shape, treblehead. Low-end is also very punchy and rumbly. TOTL technical performance with tons of details and OCD, but gets fatiguing. Shouty.
  • Precogvision: Fantastic clarity at the expense of sounding somewhat dry.
  • Tim Tuned: Pros: Versatile DNA that's also unique. #1 Jack of all trades.
  • Shuwa-T: Strengths: Easy to like tuning that isn't considered too safe with convincing vocal presentation, bass slams hard. Weaknesses: Not entirely coherent especially in the upper frequencies, subbass hits...
  • Nymz: Clarity king with great sense of detail. An agressive listen but never sibilant. Great tight and fast bass, at the expense of sounding dry in the lower mids. Not recommended if you are sensitive to...

Elysian Pilgrim Noir

  • Jays Audio: Good but expensive. Recommended if you can find it for around $500. Direct upgrade to the AFUL Explorer. Scales great. Reminds me of the EJ07M but a bit smoother and less dynamic. Prefer it more than...
  • Gizaudio Axel: Bassier than the original Pilgrim with similar resolution. Sound is similar to the original Pilgrim.
  • Jaytiss: Way different than Pilgrim OG, less bright. Smoothe.
  • Super* Review: Relaxed at the vocal region compared to orignial Pilgrim. Too expensive. Texturing is a little bit better than original Pilgrim
  • Smirk Audio: Cons: Similar to Pilgrim OG at twice the price.
  • Fresh Reviews: link is for the less expensive one

Elysian Pilgrim

  • Jays Audio: Clean, clear, all-rounder, similar tuning as the Dusk but with better vocals, bass quality is great as well, aethestically pleasing too. If you want a clean all-rounder, or sensitive in the 3-8K,...
  • Gizaudio Axel: Elysian house sound with a balanced tuning, textured sub-bass, smooth mid-range, well extended treble, and excellent resolution. I prefer more bass. One of the most resolving IEMs under $1000.
  • Jaytiss: Great little set to consider for those after an Elysian Product.
  • Tim Tuned: Pros: Most technical sounding IEM under $1000.
  • Super* Review: Not a bad IEM. Very solid but in this price range it's really competetive. Very safe tuning.
  • Shuwa-T: Strengths: The most chaotic and in your face of the triple threat, more focus to subbass and treble.
