The first album I auditioned was Wise Up Ghost by Elvis Costello and the Roots, and it really kicked butt. I think the Om logo machined onto the earpieces looks really cool. The InEarPeace has an inline one-button control and mike, is available in a gloss black or white finish, and comes with four sizes of silicone ear tips and a small carrying case. Nice! I was happy to see that the headphone’s flat cable remained tangle-free over the course of my listening. While Om’s InEarPeace in-ear monitor looks pretty standard, it features a rather unusual two-way driver complement, with a 10mm bass driver and a midrange/tweeter balanced armature driver in each all-metal earpiece.

Om Audio is the recent brainchild of a select group of consumer electronics, audio, and technology professionals, including former staff members from Dolby, Velodyne, and Gracenote.

The Om Audio InEarPeace may stray too far from neutrality for some, but it’s definitely not boring!
