“With Higher Expectations“ Effect Audio X Elysian Acoustic Labs Pilgrim:Noir

[@Stoyakoff2024]

Hello! I looked through 1000 and 1 review on iem, in search of my sound, but nowhere have I come across such a meticulous and thoughtful presentation of the material. Bravo!

[@Jaytiss]

Glad I could help!

[@NetZero11]

Are you saying that Eros S didn’t open up the sound stage, improve dynamics, change the tuning and squeeze more technicalities out of the Noir?! 😱😂 I don’t know where people come up with that stuff, I had the Eros S anniversary edition. Well built premium feeling cable, that sounded clean? But it didn’t do the ridiculous “magical” things some people claim them to do.

[@Jaytiss]

I mean cables. They are pretty. 🤩

[@someoneusa]

They sure are! And the less you pay the more if the pretty things you can collect. Not sure that's necessarily a good thing for those of us addicted, but hey, I like pretty things. That being said, every once in a while I'll get an IEM that shows slight improvements with different cables but the cost of the cable had nothing to do with it. I've bought all my cables on sale with coins and coupons for $5-10. I may have splurged in a couple, $12ish. Lol.

[@Jaytiss]

Nice, I respect that AliExpress hussle!

@@Jaytiss yessir!

[@christiharris292]

Excellent review. Thank you for all the comparisons they were extremely helpful. I've pulled the trigger on this one, it looks like something that would fit my collection well

[@Jaytiss]

I hope that you like it. Such a cool set.

[@SpiritualPsychotherapyServices]

Does your collection include the Kefine Delci?

[@Jaytiss]

It’s a good little set. I reviewed it a bit ago. Enjoyable!

[@StarBuccaneers168]

Diminishing returns hit hard for this set. Great looking design. I like how you lowered the camera angle to get a closer shot. Now we can see all the dust. Great work!

[@Jaytiss]

LOL Thanks I think. XD

[@StarBuccaneers168]

@@Jaytiss I was teasing. I do like the new angle. I can see the IEMs well.

cables are like clothes. They all cover your butt, however some look and feel much better...

Thank you! Cheers! 🥂

[@TomatePasFraiche]

I won't send my wallet on pilgrimage for this one... Great review Jaytiss ;)

[@Jaytiss]

Thanks for watching.

[@SpiritualPsychotherapyServices]

Me neither. I just spent several hundred dollars on earphones this week and it has yet to reach mid-week. 😵‍💫

[@Jaytiss]

It’s a wild hobby.

[@TomatePasFraiche]

@@Jaytiss they discovered a way (to try) to make us infinitely pay :)

[@Jaytiss]

lol yeah gotta watch your wallet. XD

[@NelsonMichael]

Way to get my hype down. I've just ordered it last week 😩

[@Jaytiss]

Ha, it’s still a good set.

[@paulosilva8200]

For you to say it's dark. It's means your listening volume is normal. For high volumes. Its perfect

[@Jaytiss]

Bah I just mean a little flat or recessed.

[@paulosilva8200]

@@Jaytiss have you tried above 85bd?

[@jakeRemains]

It scales very well.

[@paulosilva8200]

@@jakeRemains cool. On my list now

[@Jaytiss]

I'm not sure what the 85 bd is.

[@jyip1442]

Well I hope the nozzle is not made out of copper/brass so you wont see it turning green overtime

[@Jaytiss]

Yeah not sure. It looks cool.

[@LWLW44]

I have now moved my Noir on and picking up some hype 10 instead

[@Jaytiss]

Ohh good enjoy. I’ve heard good things about hype 10.

[@shaunbrady15]

You just did the same thing as the pilgrim/noir. Bought the more expensive one, when the cheaper one is better (hype 4>hype 10)

[@LWLW44]

@@shaunbrady15 we will see I have the hype 4 to compare

[@apothecy4011]

Dusk > Da Vinci and Hype 4

[@PeaceHappiness-j7b]

First! 😂🎉

[@Jaytiss]

[@someoneusa]

Not that I could afford it but lack of bass and boring, even if I'm relaxing, nope.

[@Jaytiss]

I can see that 100%.

@@Jaytiss Everything is very simple... There is Music, where Melody reigns over all the vanity of the universe... and then, we don’t really need audiophile gadgets. And there is music where the quality of the recording is of paramount importance, which gives pleasure no less than good weed..))

PLEASE ditch the cringey outro. 🥴
