New Head-Fier
I attended CanJam Dallas last month with the goal of finding an iem that filled in the gaps (literal gap in upper mids/lower treble) I’ve noticed in my 64 Audio A12t I’ve had since 2020. There were several vendors present, and I was able to try a large variety of iems. I spent most of my time at the MusicTeck booth which had to have close to 40 iems. I was able to try just about everything I’ve heard of except for Subtonic Storm. I didn’t sample everything available, but did try 10-15 kilobuck iems and was blown away by the Omega which I had no idea existed. There were technically better iems, Brise Fugaku anyone, but I wanted to stay under $3k. The only other iem I seriously considered was MusicTeck’s prototype Quill Satin. I think they are still adjusting the tuning on that one before releasing it though. MusicTeck generously offered me a show discount which I promptly used to order an Omega from their next product delivery.
I have now had my Omega for a couple of weeks. I’ve tried a variety of ear tips (Spinfit, Divinus Velvet W, Dunu, FiiO, SednaEarfit, TRI Clarion, and Eletch Baroque). My primary goal in tip rolling was achieving a comfortable and stable seal. My favorites thus far are the TRI Clarion, but I just got the Eletech Baroque tips an hour ago. So far they are working just as well for me.
I think Omega are very easy to listen to for extended sessions and I have been able to listen for multiple hours at a time once I found tips I was happy with.
Impressions were done with all switches in the default down position. I primarily used a Questyle M15i and Chord Mojo 2 fed into an Atom Amp 2 when listening.
To my ear Omega are neutral with a bass boost. Bass is THE standout feature of these iems. I have never heard better textured bass in an in ear monitor and maybe not even in an over ear headphone. Listening to the beginning of Leprous’s My Specter is what sold me this iem. Bass is elevated and may be excessive for some. It can almost be too much for certain songs, but never actually crosses the line. I never feel like the bass overwhelms the midrange or reduces clarity. In comparison, when I tried the FatFreq (Grand Maestro I think) at CanJam, the bass completely overwhelmed me. I pretty quickly decided the FatFreq brand is not for me after one song.
The whole frequency range is still very coherent despite elevated bass. The midrange and treble just sound natural to me. That doesn’t sound like much of a compliment, but a sense that something was off with the upper mids/treble on my A12t is what drove me to look for another iem in the first place. I have not heard any sibilance at any volume level which is good because I can sometimes be a bit treble sensitive.
Omega are technical enough to not make me question what I’m missing, smooth enough to listen to for hours, and the bass makes them fun enough to be emotionally engaging.
