Soundsly Apaisant is a model from our in-house brand Soundsly. But it is designed and manufactured in China. The meaning of Apaisant is Calm and soothing. It is our first try and jumps into the realm of an IEM world. It is a hybrid model which means we have incorporated one dynamic driver and one armature driver into the metal shell. We have taken every bit of care for the build quality of this model in this budget in which we have used Kevlar reinforced cable. We have also incorporated a universal mic in this model.
Soundsly Apaisant is an opened-back model which will give you an open and wide soundstage in an IEM realm. We have taken extreme care to tune this earphone so that it can suit the needs of all music lovers. The sound signature is balanced with no peak and dips around yet would provide good bass for those looking for bass in their music. We have not forgotten the mids and treble here, everything is well-balanced from lows to highs.
Listen and believe it.

- The other good options around this price range include the Fiio FH1, RHA MA650, and the Meze 12 Classics. However, I really prefer the Apaisant’s sound signature over the others. In fact, the Soundsly Apaisant made me forget about the FiiO F9 Pro, which is not an easy task for a pair of IEMs that costs about half as much as the F9 Pro. I’d easily slot the Soundsly Appaisant in my top three earphones under Rs 5,000. – By Ershad Kaleebullah at themrphone.com.
- The Soundsly Apaisant in-ear headphones aren’t something you’ll have likely heard of. However, it is Indian at heart and is engineered for clean audio output. It’s also among the most affordable hybrid-driver headphones you can buy right now. If you enjoy a balanced, neutral sound, the Soundsly Apaisant is one of the best headsets you can buy right now at under Rs 5,000. – By Ali Pardiwala at www.bgr.in.
- If you are a person who likes Balanced and Neutral sound signatures, then Soundsly Apaisant is highly recommended. This earphone is made from an Indian brand and gets a thumbs up from our side for a very good try, and we hope to see more products from the brand soon. – By TechUNeed.

Review of the ‘Soundsly Apaisant’ – Seriously Good!
Introduction:
This review is a roller-coaster of sorts for me to write after being overly surprised by what I have been subjected to hearing in the last couple of days. Yes, many of you might find this review surprising too, so hang on in there till the end! The product under scrutiny here is called the ‘Apaisant’, from a company called ‘Soundsly’, an Indian firm, brought to life by Hifinage, a name which many of you would have come across from time to time here in India. My review unit came to me for free from Hifinage, on a rolling rotation basis for 3 days as part of the review tour, to get honest unbiased opinions from fellow audiophiles in India.
What’s all the fuss about?
Soundsly claims, they have managed to make an open-back iem with dual hybrid drivers per side, that costs a mere 4,000 INR. Immediately off the back, hearing something on the lines of ‘open-back’ and ‘sub 5k INR’ price tag would ring bells as to, there is some cheap gimmick at play here to lure customers into pulling the plug on a purchase, similar to how many cheap chi-fi companies play at nowadays. Well, with the same impressions, I decided to go ahead and try them out anyway because here goes nothing!
Unboxing:
Unboxing the Apaisant is a no-nonsense & basic ordeal, nothing shouts premium or stands out w.r.t. the unboxing experience in general. It’s a pretty simple packaging, with the earphones neatly tucked inside in a 2 stage layout, earphones up-top and accessories beneath. Accessories include a small semi-hard carry pouch with a zipper, not the best quality that one would have come across, but hey, there’s a carry case! So lets’ not get too picky here! Also included are 1 pair of foam tips, 3 pairs of silicone tips and a shirt clip. The pretty standard list of accessories that we have come to expect in this price range.
Build Quality:
There’s nothing shouty about the Apaisant by any means in terms of the touch and feel. The earpieces are solid metal, so is the splitter and the microphone unit. Very solidly built I must admit, no doubt. However, the cable quality leaves a lot to be desired as they feel flimsy and tangle easily. Microphonics is also an issue with the cable while travelling outdoors or using them for your regular jogs, although it’s not too bad. Cable thickness is what could have been much better, or should have had the option to swap out cables for a better one, but cables here are fixed and non-detachable, the only main complaint I have with the Apaisant.
Sound Quality:
After the initial unboxing impressions, I wasn’t expecting too much from the Apaisant in the sound department. I didn’t have high expectation even before I unboxed them, nevertheless, I wasn’t expecting to be blown away by the sound either. But, this is where the Apaisant draws the line. The Apaisant has one AFM-2000MS BA Driver and one 10mm Dynamic Driver, per side. I used my Shanling M0 DAP for the review purposes here. Using the stock medium silicone tips, which are pretty comfortable and fit pretty well, I started the usual chore of running them down with a few usual and known songs. First few notes into “Hotel California – Hell Freezes Overâ€, I am stunned on what I hear. Let me clear any myth and gimmicky ideas out of the way for everyone here because these sound open and way more spacious than any random iem that you pick up, irrespective of the price. You need a few songs to run through to appreciate and understand, how the imaging and soundstage are placed. Unlike most iems that perceive sound to start right from the centre of the head, the Apaisant’s imaging is a little different. It starts from say at the outside of each ear and remains around you and you feel how airy the entire presentation gets. Makes you believe that everything you hear is presented to you live, around you. Adding the stereo effect into place, you immediately want to listen to more because the music is engaging irrespective of the fact the earphones sound so balanced with the right amount of sparkle up-top!
Let’s break the sound up and explain a little more in detail:
BASS: You will be overwhelmed at how much depth and body the bass has on the Apaisant. Sub-bass is adequate, and even though the mid-bass does have some heft to it, everything remains relaxed, controlled, yet quick-paced without any bleed into the lower mids. This is something of an achievement really because not only do they have punchy bass, the bass isn’t boomy or completely lacking any sort of texture. It’s rich, thick and delicious…….that’s what it is. Playing “Starboy†by The Weeknd on them and you immediately feel the energy come to life in the bottom end. There are quick decay and really good fast-paced transitions in each beat, without making anything muddy. The open-back design shows its merits here by sounding natural, yet packs a punch. No complaints here.
Mids: If the bass notes were surprising, th…
