The Audicus Omni 2 is a premium behind-the-ear OTC hearing aid priced at $1,898, earning an A grade with a SoundScore of 4.32/5 in HearAdvisor's lab testing. This positions it among the top performers in the OTC category, ranking #8 out of 56 devices tested.
In our testing, the Omni 2 demonstrated exceptional speech clarity, scoring 1.48 points above the category average for speech in quiet—one of the strongest showings in this critical metric. Speech in noise performance was also solid at 0.70 points above average, though this remains a challenging area for most OTC devices. Music streaming quality measured above average, making this a well-rounded option for users who value both conversation clarity and audio entertainment.
The device uses an open dome configuration in both initial and tuned fit conditions, which contributes to comfortable own-voice perception (0.49 points above average) and a natural sound quality. Feedback handling matched the category average, providing stable performance without whistling issues during normal use.
At this price point, the Audicus Omni 2 competes with options like the Lucid Tala (4.64/5) and Jabra Enhance Select 300 (4.33/5). While not the absolute top performer in its price tier, it offers consistent above-average results across nearly all metrics. This device is best suited for users seeking premium OTC performance with strong speech clarity and reliable streaming capabilities, particularly those who prioritize ease of use with open-fit comfort.
