Just gonna do a brief review. Got these for RM250, which translates to roughly 62USD. For that price, you would not even be able to find another pair of over-the-ear IEMs. Overall, the build feels pretty solid despite the plastic housing and it comes with a twisted cable. The drivers aren't big, and thus fits into the ears well without any protruding parts. Comfort wise, these pair of IEMs are great and I could wear them for as long as I like. Once it fits in, it doesn't come off easily, which is pretty important for me because I use these onstage as well.
Sound wise, these are really great keeping in mind how much they're selling for. Sure I've heard better, but at this price point (plus them being over-the-ears) you'd be hard pressed to find any that could best these. Nice amount of bass that does pack a decent punch although they could be more precise and tighter but I'm not gonna complain because of the price. Mids and highs are pleasant and aren't weak despite these being made to be 'bass earphones'. Where these pair of IEMs really shine is when you turn up the volume. The mids and highs shine through the bass without coming across as harsh, in fact I would describe them as I did earlier, pleasant. The bass of course benefit from the higher volume, providing more thump yet without muddying things too much.
I compared them with the other 2 versions in the omega series and found this to be the most 'bang-for-buck' one. The Omega Spark which is tailored for clarity sounded weak and thin. The Twins however were slightly better, only slightly, being a little more refined than the Ace, but they cost RM150 more than the Ace. I could not justify spending that much more for just a slight improvement. At that price, you would do better to just add a little more cash and get the Shure SE215 which could be had for just over RM500.
On the whole, I would say if you have the cash to burn, invest in a higher-end quality pair of IEMs. However, if you're on a tight budget, these are actually a pretty decent pair of IEMs that is worth every single penny. Sure they have a couple of cons, but for this price point, you really can't complain. To sum it up: A decent sounding value-for-money pair of IEMs
