Audicus Omni 2 Expert Review

The Audicus Omni 2 is a premium-priced behind-the-ear OTC hearing aid available for $1,898. In HearAdvisor's lab testing, it earned an A grade with a SoundScore of 4.32/5, placing it in the top 11% of all OTC hearing aids tested and ranking #8 out of 61 devices in its category.

This device excels in speech clarity, scoring 4.1/5 in speech-in-quiet testing—a strong result that sits 1.45 points above the OTC category average of 2.65/5. Music streaming is another standout, with a solid 3.6/5 score that's 1.73 points above the category average. Speech-in-noise performance scores 1.9/5, which is above the category average by 0.70 points but remains low in absolute terms—a common challenge across OTC devices.

Feedback handling is excellent at 4.5/5, though this falls just 0.03 points below the category average. Own-voice comfort scores a solid 3.0/5, sitting 0.50 points above average. The Omni 2 offers versatile connectivity with both iPhone and Android streaming, hands-free capability, and the flexibility of rechargeable or disposable batteries.

As a two-time Expert's Choice Award winner (2023 and 2024), the Audicus Omni 2 is well-suited for consumers seeking strong all-around performance in an OTC package, particularly those who prioritize speech clarity in quieter environments and quality music streaming. Shoppers should note that competitors like the Lexie B3 offer strong sound performance at a lower price point, while the Lucid Tala leads this price tier with a higher score.
