Audicus Omni 2 vs. Sennheiser All-Day Clear

Audicus Omni 2 is a polished “premium OTC” RIC built on proven Sonova/Unitron tech, with a smaller design, strong speech enhancement in quieter settings, reliable universal Bluetooth and hands-free calling, and a simple, capable app, but its rechargeable battery life is only middling and the remote-care model feels more limited and less modern than some top direct-to-consumer competitors.

Featuring hands-free calling, Bluetooth streaming for both iPhone and Android, and intelligent scene detection for optimal sound quality, these devices provide a user-friendly and high-quality hearing solution.

Audicus Omni 2 achieved a SoundScore of 4.32/5 and a SoundGrade of A in HearAdvisor lab testing. It ranked #8 of 61 OTC Hearing Aid devices tested. The OTC Hearing Aid category average SoundScore was 3.47/5.

Sennheiser All Day Clear achieved a SoundScore of 4.20/5 in HearAdvisor lab testing. The OTC Hearing Aid category average SoundScore was 3.47/5.

I found the build quality of Omni Series 2 top-notch which is consistent with a prescription hearing aid redesigned for the OTC market. With a durable ingress rating of IP68, these hearing aids should last many years with a good maintenance regiment.

All Day Clear have an ingress protection rating of 68, meaning they offer impressive protection against moisture and debris. They feel well built in hand and the case, while on the larger side, offers good storage protection and should hold up to daily use.

Omni Series 2 have a 16 hour battery life, which less than many other prescription level hearing aids. However, Audicus also offers a disposable battery option which you may prefer based on your needs and preferences.

All Day Clear last up to 20 hours per charge, meaning they should last your entire day.

Omni Series 2 are Made for All (MFA) with Universal Bluetooth compatibility for iOS and Android devices. I found the Bluetooth features highly reliable and easy to use, just as you would expect with reputable hearing aids. Various wireless accessories are also available which can be very useful.

I found All Day Clear to offer easy and stable wireless connection. Their audio quality while streaming music, and during hands-free calling, was decent and comparable to other hearing aids in this price range.

The app is user-friendly, with many handy features such as hearing based personalization and multi-band adjustments. You should find plenty of tools to tailor Omni 2 to your preferences.

The All-Day Clear app is straightforward and offers useful customization like volume control, programs, and a 3-Band EQ. It is missing more advanced features commonly found in other products like directional microphone controls and health tracking.

I found Omni Series 2 very comfortable with their slim design and modern earwire design. You will also have plenty of options to improve fit and sound with different ear tips, earwire sizes, and expert remote support.

I found All Day Clear comfortable, even with prolonged wear times, and did not experience any retention issues.

Sleek and modern, Omni Series 2 feature a contemporary earwire receiver design and come with a strong charging case. This showcases Audicus's, and their parent company Sonova's, renowned quality.

Sennheiser All Day Clear look and feel like modern prescription hearing aids in an OTC package.

Audicus Omni 2 has a value score of 3.7/5 based on lab performance and public display price.

Sennheiser All Day Clear has a value score of 4.6/5 based on lab performance and public display price.

Overall, my experience using Omni 2 was straightforward with no major issues. There are many options for personalizing Omni 2, such as the app and remote case, which were easy to use and worth taking advantage of to get the most out these hearing aids.

All Day Clear are fairly easy to use receiver-in-canal style hearing aids and I did not run into any usability issues while trying them. One things worth noting is that, while the case works well, it does not have an internal battery and must be plugged in to charge.

Audicus provides superior support compared to many OTC hearing aid companies, offering remote phone and email assistance from hearing experts. While the remote programming works effectively, it feels a bit outdated compared to what other modern prescription hearing aids offer.

All Day Clear are self-fit OTC hearing aids, intended to be by you in the comforts of your home. However, Sennheiser offers an in-office option where they can be programmed by a provider like more traditional prescription devices.
