Limp bass, but good mid-range and treble tuning. Techs felt underwhelming for its price, with extremely blunted transients.

Really excellent, really fun.
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.

The Craft Ears x Elise Audio Omnium Ti is a titanium-clad, limited variant of the Omnium built around a tri-brid array: 1× dynamic for lows, 1× planar for low/mids, and 5× balanced armatures for upper bands, governed by a 6-way crossover. This configuration aims for full-band coverage with minimal crossover artifacts and is documented by retailers carrying the Ti edition. Official listings place the Launch Edition’s price at $2,999, positioning it among flagship offerings.

Tonally, performance tracks the original Omnium’s neutral foundation with a sub-bass lift and comparatively restrained mid-bass, yielding clear bass–mid separation and linear, uncolored mids. Multiple reviews describe an immersive presentation that is highly resolving yet controlled up top, avoiding sharp peaks while maintaining extension.

Specific notes on the Ti edition point to a touch more low-end impact with natural mids and a smooth treble finish, while preserving the Omnium’s strengths in imaging and spacious staging; these changes are incremental rather than a wholesale retune. Listeners sensitive to engagement “bite” may still find the overall presentation more composed than exciting, which aligns with commentary on the base model.
