AME Mousa VS Craft Ears x Elise Audio Omnium Ti

Youtube Video Summary

AME Mousa goes all-in on extravagance: a 15-driver array (BA stack plus two bone conductors) in a massive, impeccably finished shell with a faceplate that hints at Damascus-steel swirls. The $4,500 package feels ultra-premium—weighty presentation box, desk display case, metal tip cards (fancy but a bit fiddly), and a tidy stock cable that looks good yet lacks a chin slider. Fit will depend on ear size: the shells are very thick and heavy, though ergonomics and finish are smooth. Overall unboxing and build scream luxury.

Sonically it hits a warm, energizing V-shape with impactful bass, dynamic highs, and full-bodied vocals; sibilance is minimal and the set shines at higher volumes. Tuning isn’t neutral—expect a 1 kHz dip and lively 4–6 kHz energy—so it thrills more than it analyzes, and can edge toward fatigue over marathon sessions. Versus peers, it feels richer and more rambunctious than neutral “meta-target” options (think Storm/K4 style sets), less air-starved than darker tunings like CP622B, and more bass-driven than something like Annihilator while not as modular or chameleon-like as Grand Maestro. The takeaway: a specialist, endgame-flavored IEM for listeners chasing slam, note-weight, and engagement over strict neutrality—highly enjoyable if the price and shell size aren’t deal-breakers, and best auditioned first given its bold fit and flavor.

Youtube Video Summary

Solid build with a metallic faceplate, flat 2-pin connector, and a fit that avoids hot spots. Isolation is only okay. The cable looks premium and includes an impedance adapter to 4.4mm, though it’s a bit stiff and the chin slider is basically MIA; the case and box feel nice but unremarkable.

Tonally, the Omnium Ti rides a gradual bass shelf into slightly warm territory, with elevated upper mids and a touch of 8 kHz bite. Treble is clean and controlled but not “wow,” mids are competent, and the bass—while plentiful—comes across either too much or too dull depending on the track. Detail retrieval can feel split: imaging and fine-grain rendering impress, yet some regions seem a bit short on micro-detail.

Graphically it measures “right,” but the overall tuning can miss that special sauce. Soundstage is good, technicals are respectable, and the impedance adapter nudges bass up further. At $3,000 it reads more “statement piece” than slam-dunk value; many will love its neutral-rich tonality, but those seeking extra excitement or sparkle might prefer alternatives (or even the original Omnium’s spicier vibe). A well-made flagship that’s easy to appreciate—just not the most distinctive in its bracket.
