Almost all stat have a different low and mid bass reproduction when compared to dynamic headphones. SR-Lambdas, SR-Sigma, SR-303 all have this luck of tactile feel. SR-Sigma suffers the least from it. I never heard Omega but I would imagine the same holds true for it, because I experienced the same with big full stat speakers like Soundlabs for example. Stat dynamic hybrid speakers don't have this issue, but they usually develop a incoherency issue, were you can feel bass, mids and highs not joining correctly. To think of it K340 suffers from this very issue in headphone world.
