Elysian Acoustic Labs is perhaps best renowned for the Annihilator, one of the first IEMs to tame Sonion’s temperamental EST tweeter system, becoming famous in the high-end IEM realm. Though beloved, the Annilator’s TOTL performance came with a TOTL price tag to match leaving it out of reach for the majority.
This changes with the new Pilgrim which takes the same expertise and scales this down to a midrange asking price. The Pilgram sports a 4-driver setup with a hybrid configuration. This is comprised of a custom-made 9.2mm dynamic driver with liquid silicon rubber that promises superlative sub-bass extension alongside 2 distinct types of custom-tailored Sonions BA drivers. The midrange is delivered by a Sonion 2300 driver while the high-end uses dual Sonion E50-series ultra-tweeters.
All of this is housed within a 3D-printed enclosure with master-crafted internal chambers and sound tubes ensuring a great in-hand feel alongside reduced distortion and accurate phase coherence. The shell is made from 304 stainless steel ensuring performance and longevity.
The Pilgrim is available from HiFiGO for $399 USD. You can read all about it and treat yourself to a unit here.
