Elysian Acoustics Debuts Its Most Affordable IEM Yet, the Pilgrim
Elysian Acoustics is finally pushing into the mid-range with the announcement of its Pilgrim pair of in-ear monitors. While it is best known for its Diva and Annihilator earphones, $1,599 and $2,999 respectively, the Pilgrim comes to market at $399 while retaining the company’s signature detailed sound and beautiful design. It features a hybrid, triple--driver design, and is available at HiFiGo now.
While $399 is hardly cheap, it’s exciting to see Elysian Acoustics offer a product at this price point. It’s ability to tune and deliver a great sounding, high-performing pair of in-ear monitors is well-established, but many people couldn’t listen for themselves to experience this first-hand. Compared to its other models, it’s much more accessible to the average listener.
The Pilgrim uses a three-driver hybrid design. For the bass, it leverages a 9.2mm liquid silicone rubber dynamic driver that’s able to dive as low as 10 Hz. It’s supported by two custom Sonion balanced armatures for smooth mids and sparkling treble. The drivers are hand-matched for consistency, a facet which Elysian says was important throughout the design process.
The shell design is also striking. It avoids the usual glittery resin we’ve seen so much of lately and instead uses machined metal housing with an ripple pattern on the face. Strategically placed vents enhance this effect, the voids lending it depth while also supporting their comfort.
We’ll be sharing our thoughts in a full review soon, but so far, we’ve found them to be bright, but low reaching, and exceptionally detailed. More to come soon.
