Phenomenal bass texture and quality. Mids are good if not great - I don't have much to nitpick about them - good note weight and excellent clarity. Treble is very sparkly and airy though some may find it a bit too much - I think the extra spice actually helps with instruments like violins. Imaging isn't quite as precise as U12T but stage is just as large if not more so. Timbre is not exactly natural but it is very good and definitely not offensive at all. My subjective favorite IEM to date. This is without a doubt a colored listen but it is so satisfying. Makes U12T sound almost sterile. That said both are good counterpoints to each other.

Best bass texture ever. Gorgeous treble extension, stage and imaging. Coherency and timbre a bit off. Upper mids/lower treble could be better. As amazing as it is, I couldn't fully connect with it (musically). Price is the biggest con.

Rich bass and out-of-head imaging.

Precogvision original ranking

A more correct sounding version of the Fourte with slight cutbacks in staging and sheer resolution.

Crin original ranking

Instrument separation is good, and is a nice darkness, but can be silbilant.

Jaytiss original ranking

Exceptional in every way. Incredibly textured bass, forward vocals, top-tier EST treble, and insane detail.

Gizaudio Axel original ranking

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, Mystic 8, and Arcanis vocal wise. If you want clean vocals Monarch MK2 does the same thing but for $700 less.

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 overwhelming or lacking in tight control. Its dual electrostatic drivers provide crisp, extended treble with good air and minimal harshness, while the midrange remains clear and natural despite slight recession, particularly excelling with vocal clarity and emotional delivery.

Comfort is mixed due to the large nozzle diameter, which demands extensive tip-rolling for a secure fit, though the lightweight aluminum shells are ergonomic for extended wear once settled. The Pentaconn ear connectors offer stability but limit third-party cable options, and the included accessories like the Divinus Velvet tips are functional but basic for the price tier.

Positioned as an "Annihilator Junior", the Apostle captures much of Elysian’s energetic house sound at a lower cost, offering strong technical performance like wide staging and solid resolution. However, its bass dominance and fit quirks make it less versatile across genres, appealing mainly to those seeking a fun, dynamic listen rather than strict neutrality.
