Jomo Audio Nautilus

General Information

Jomo Audio Nautilus

Exquisite Design and Superior Craftsmanship

The Nautilus features a stunning gold-plated brass shell, adorned with natural mother-of-pearl inlays, exuding elegance and sophistication. Its compact size ensures a comfortable and secure fit for a wide range of ear shapes and sizes, making it ideal for prolonged listening sessions.

Inspiration Behind the Design

The Nautilus draws its design inspiration from the steampunk aesthetic, heavily influenced by the illustrations in the novel "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea." Our design team conducted extensive research on steampunk art and literature to create a product that embodies the essence of this unique style. The brass elements throughout the design are reminiscent of the legendary steampunk submarine, the Nautilus. The mother-of-pearl inlays symbolize the mysterious beauty of the deep sea, while the faceplate design evokes the feeling of sitting in the submarine's control room, peering out through its large glass windows. This intricate design not only enhances the visual appeal but also immerses users in a rich, imaginative world.

Innovative Driver Configuration for Superior Sound Quality

At the heart of the Nautilus lies a sophisticated driver setup that delivers an extraordinary audio experience:

· 6mm Planar Driver for pristine high frequencies, ensuring every detail is captured with clarity.

· 10mm Dynamic Driver with Nanodiamond Coated DLC Diaphragm for full-range audio. The Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating offers superior rigidity and lightweight properties, resulting in reduced distortion and enhanced sound clarity.

· Two Bone Conduction Drivers from Sonion for mid-range texture rendering, enhancing the richness and depth of the audio.

These drivers are housed within a 3D printed Asymmetrical Co-axial Acoustic Chamber (AC-Squared). The planar driver is positioned in front of the dynamic driver, with a front-firing sound bore connected via a 3D printed waveguide. This innovative co-axial configuration, along with the asymmetrical acoustic chamber, provides optimal resonance across different frequency ranges, resulting in a well-balanced and natural sound signature.

Exceptional Sound Signature

The Nautilus delivers a sound signature characterized by:

· Punchy and Deep Bass that provides a solid foundation for all genres of music.

· Emotionally Expressive Vocals that simulate the presence of the singer right in front of the listener.

· Detailed and Smooth High Frequencies with plenty of air and sparkle, capturing the nuances of every note.

High-Quality Cable Included

The Nautilus comes equipped with a newly designed, hand-braided copper cable. Made with high-purity OCC copper wire and terminated with a gold-plated OFC 4.4mm balanced plug, this cable ensures optimal signal transmission and durability, further enhancing the listening experience.

An absolute GIFT from Jomo Audio
Pros: Among the most pleasing spectrum wide tonalities I’ve ever heard. Deep punchy bass, wonderfully natural vocals and beautiful treble extension
Cons: Some may not love the King Tut-Like aesthetic. But I LOVE it.
This is my first ever Jomo Audio IEM. I’ve certainly gawked at them on Musicteck and across the internet but I never pulled the trigger. I suppose I was thinking they might tune their sets like other Eastern manufacturers that place such emphasis on treble perfection. Well, when I saw Nautilus I had to take the plunge. To me, it’s absolutely gorgeous. I grabbed one from Andrew at Musicteck where the buying experience is always easy peasy.

Needless to say, they didn’t disappoint out of the box. Every bit as amazing in person. They have a nice little weight to them but not too much to make them uncomfortable. Fit is fabulous. It reminds me a bit of what I wish IER Z1R fit like.

I popped them in my ear with the peerless Dongle Luxury and Precision W2 Ultra. My fears about a bass-lite set were immediately put to rest. These suckers bring the slam and bring the rumble! I had the excellent Thieaudio Origin with me throughout my time with Nautilus and while Nautilus doesn’t bring quite the thunder but….it’s really pretty close! The Timbre, texture without a hint of bloat. This is TOTL bass response guys.

Moving onto the mids…I’m in love with the sweetness of the vocals this IEM produces. Male and Female are as close to perfect as I’ve heard in the hobby, There is a massive amount of detail here as well and while the upper mids are energetic, they don’t bother me and i have some hyper upper mids sensitivity (Couldn’t listen to Odin for more than 30 minutes). Staging and Imagine are also TOTL to my ear. I can’t tell you how many friends that have had to hear me say over and over “I can’t believe this set doesn’t cost 3 grand. People that think AirPods are the pinnacle. :0)

Going with my new soundstage test song (The Beat Hotel by Allan Taylor) Nautilus gives the feel of being in a large cathedral. The whole spectrum provides this enormous wide and TALL sound with extremely accurate imaging. Can it really be $800?

Let’s talk about the highs. The treble response here is Elysian-like. Reminds me very much of Annihilator ‘23. I’m no treble-head. I love my sparkle and I love my air and I love my micro details. But i like them within and overall warm of neutral spectrum. Nautilus and Annihilator ‘23 are the only two sets to weave a frequency curve masterfully for my likes. I haven’t heard once sibilant note. I haven’t felt any harshness at all. Just clean, gorgeous highs.

As I’ve said I have the Thieaudio Origin and also the Penon Voltage with me.


Origin: Is my favorite Thieaudio set. It’s borderline a bass head iem but with outstanding little ballerina-like treble notes. The bounce around like like a little fairy flying by your ear. It doesn’t quite have the same mids level as Nautilus, but it does have even bigger and deeper bass….by a hair or two. I found that the Nautilus fits better for longer sessions. And build quality goes to the Nautilus as well. I’ve had the Nautilus for several weeks now and there isn’t a scratch on it. I’ve been careful but not that careful.

Penon Voltage: I definitely see what all the great reviews are about. This IEM does some really great things but surprisingly, in a very different way from Nautilus. Vocals are more forward on the Nautilus but I don’t feel like they sound scooped. Voltage has great timbre in the mids and bass, though the bass doesn’t come with nearly the physicality of Nautilus. Don’t get me wrong, Voltage does have high quality bass, just not thunderous like the Jomo set. Treble is well extended and you can play around with the switches to get things just right for you. I recommend the bass switch on and the treble switch off. But I like to hear with both on with a copper cable. It’s another gorgeous IEM.

Nautilus is a keeper, even for a guy that keeps nothing. Always chasing the next amazing thing. This set sounds incredible with everything I threw at it.

Luxury and Precision w2 ULTRA
IBASSO DC ELITE
Onix Miracle
Hiby FD5 Cyberpunk (thing is awesome!)

I can’t rec the Jomo Nautilus any higher. You get TOTL performance for $800. It’s as if Jomo gave us all at $2200 coupon for Christmas or something. I’m pumped to try more of their lineup!

Bravo Jomo! Keep em coming!

Origin vs Nautilus?
I'm also very, very sensitive to high frequency, I know you've write that is not specially bright (Nautilus), can you give me more specifics, please? Someone told me that the Nautilus is very bright. 😅

Origin if you're sensitive to treble.
