Available now at Audiophile Shop — fast, free shipping, local stock, and full Australian warranty support. No grey imports, no long waits — just reliable service and genuine product backed locally.
Overview
The ooopusX Op.22 is a standout in the entry-level category, offering a rare combination of musical balance, clarity, and refinement at its price point. Built around a hybrid configuration of dual dynamic drivers and dual balanced armatures, it delivers a sound that feels complete — not just impressive in one area, but cohesive across the entire frequency range.
Where many IEMs in this category lean toward aggressive tuning to grab attention, the Op.22 takes a more mature approach. The result is a smoother, more natural presentation that remains engaging over long listening sessions without fatigue.
Key Features
- Hybrid driver design: 2 Dynamic Drivers + 2 Balanced Armatures
- Balanced, natural tuning with strong overall cohesion
- Controlled, textured bass with good extension
- Clear, forward vocals with excellent presence
- Smooth, detailed treble without harsh peaks
- Comfortable ergonomic shell for extended wear
Sound Performance
Low-End
The dual dynamic drivers provide a solid and controlled bass foundation. There’s enough impact to bring energy to modern tracks, while remaining tight and well-controlled — avoiding the bloated or muddy presentation often found at this level.
Midrange
Vocals and instruments are presented with clarity and natural tone. The Op.22 handles midrange presence particularly well, giving vocals a centred, engaging position without sounding overly forward or recessed.
Treble
Treble is smooth and refined, with enough detail to reveal nuance without introducing sharpness or fatigue. It avoids the overly bright or peaky character common in budget hybrids.
Overall, the presentation leans toward balanced and musical, with a sense of layering and space that lifts it above typical entry-level options.
How It Compares ($30–$60 Range)
-
vs Moondrop CHU II
Cleaner and slightly brighter, but leaner overall. The Op.22 offers a fuller sound with better bass weight and improved layering. -
vs 7Hz Zero 2
Fun and punchy, but more V-shaped. The Op.22 is more balanced, with a more natural midrange and smoother top end. -
vs Tangzu Wan’er
Smooth and vocal-focused, but softer in technical performance. The Op.22 provides better separation, stronger bass control, and a more complete presentation. -
vs Typical Budget Hybrids (KZ, CCA)
Often tuned for excitement with boosted highs and lows. The Op.22 takes a more refined approach, prioritising realism, coherence, and long-term listenability.
Who It’s For
Perfect for listeners wanting a step up from entry-level single dynamic driver IEMs, without jumping into overly aggressive or fatiguing hybrid designs. The Op.22 suits a wide range of genres and works equally well for casual listening or more focused sessions.
Audiophile Shop Recommendation
Pair with a clean, neutral source to bring out its natural tonality and staging. It performs well straight from portable devices, but scales nicely with a quality DAC/amp — making it a flexible and future-proof choice at this price.
