Elysian Annihilator 2023

Elysian Annihilator 2023
I also own Anni and I purchased, but didn’t receive yet, the Alter Ego. I’ve demoed it though. I agree with @zlayde that Alter Ego lacks the special sauce and engagement that Anni has. I also agree with @Tanalasta when they said Anni is an IEM that grabs peoples’ attention at first listen...- Smirk 24

Letshuoer Cadenza 12: Impressions and Discussion
I can see why. Superbly tuned and great bass. I know the mirror finish is a bit prone to microscratches and fingerprints but it’s titanium so you know it’s built like a tank.- Smirk 24
