Elysian Acoustic Labs “X” Flagship IEM Discussion Thread

[ilikemuzak]

Will the X or Diva come back?
I thought the plan was to replace both with the Apostle.

The Apostle is indeed set to replace both the X and Diva, but I know many are still hoping for their return. If given the chance, what aspects of the X or Diva would you love to see incorporated into future models?

X is great! I just received it this week and I'm retiring with this set after trying so many TOTL iems including Anni, Fei Wan, 622b, APX SE, etc. All of them had a deal breaker but the X is just perfect for me. Would be nice if a lot more has been made and sold so more people could enjoy it.

Retiring? Cheers to you

What was the deal breaker on the Anni? and was it the Anni 21 or 23 or both?

I definitely lack that kind of discipline at this point Gotta try those new iems at some point

And what about apx se?

I love my X. APX SE on the way. Curious as to how they will compare.

And what about apx se?

It couldnt properly capture instruments' very high notes so timbre/treble is off like violin sounds like viola. Everything else is 10/10 for me..bass is best I've heard, super comfortable, and stock cable synergy with it is great.

I'll demo iems if I see them but no more shopping and going out my way to try gear haha.

Anni 23. Mids are slightly recessed and I found male vocals slightly lacking in note weight but for me the biggest offender is the mid bass quantity / bloat. Others would prefer and find that enjoyable but it's too much for me haha. I'll try the Anni later with the X stock cable

Damn, that's a nitpick if i've ever heard one.
Well, if you know exactly the sound of an instrument, i can understand it. It's the same for me with pianos.
For me the APX Se is the most coherent thing i've ever heard in this hobby, maybe besides the Susvara OG. The only thing it does not do extremely well is that it's not as fast over its entire frequency range like a TOTL planar.
The Anni 21 was insanely good and my favourite IEM up to this date, right behind was my CP622B, but now i'm glad i sold them to get the APX Se.
I'm still interested if Elysian brings out another flagship.

Haha perhaps, but if I'm spending that much money it better be something that I dont have a big complaint about.

Dio will be the next flagship. No date on release and no price but likely over $5k+.

Piano note weight is very yummy and satisfying (sounds amazing) on apx se. It's a very good iem

Isn't Dominion supposed to be their next flagship, or am I mistaken?

Totally agree, if you are spending that much it definitely should be to your specific liking.

Personal preferences is what makes the hobby interesting and fun (but not fun to my wallet )

I sent my X 1 year and 5 months ago for repair, in May I received a message that my set would be sent to me, but I never received a tracking code or X. I have written several messages asking for any update obout my X, but have not received any response.

You sent the IEM to them for repair more than a year ago and you still have not received it back?! That's a huge red flag. Post sales support needs to be top notch when a company is selling products at these price points.

Send a message via Facebook directly to Lee. I sent my X for repair a couple years ago and he was very responsive.
