Celest Unveils the Yaksha: A Quad-Driver Hybrid IEM Masterpiece for Audiophiles

The technical setup of the Yaksha is thoughtfully designed: an 8mm dynamic driver for impactful lows, a 10mm LCP dynamic driver for clean midrange performance, a Knowles RAN-62462 armature driver for transparent higher mids and upper-treble extension, and Celest's proprietary micro planar driver for ultra-high frequencies. This specialized configuration emphasizes coherence, ensuring all drivers operate harmoniously without sacrificing accuracy or distortion. The result is a rich and musical listening experience that satisfies both casual listeners and discerning audiophiles.

Inspired by the deity Yaksha, an attendant of Vaisravana in Buddhist mythology, the design captures the divine characteristics associated with the figure’s duality—both alluring and fierce. The faceplates feature intricate wing-like patterns that accentuate this unique theme. Available in striking Blood Red and Divine Blue color options, the ergonomic shell offers not just aesthetic appeal but also comfort, making extended listening sessions enjoyable.

Accompanying the Yaksha is a meticulously crafted cable that further enhances the listening experience. The high-purity 6N OCC Litz-braided cable employs a mix of silver-plated and copper OCC strands, ensuring minimal signal loss and great synergy with the drivers. Available with standard 0.78mm 2-pin connectors and swappable terminations for either 3.5mm single-ended or 4.4mm balanced operation, the cable adds versatility to the offering while maintaining high-quality audio performance.

With a recommended retail price of $139 USD, the Celest Yaksha presents a noteworthy option for audiophiles seeking a compelling combination of technical innovation, cohesive tuning, and artistic design. Its hybrid driver array and high-quality materials make it a standout in its price range, delivering a sound profile that caters to diverse musical tastes without compromising on clarity or build quality.
