The oBravo EAMT-2C is an old IEM model from Taiwan that retailed back in 2016 for around $3000 USD. It consists of a unique driver configuration – 1 AMT Tweeter and a Neodymnium dynamic driver for mids and bass. I used my Astell & Kern SP3000M as my main source for this review.
It comes in a unique aluminum cover case that will fit the IEM exactly – along with some foam tips, a silver cable, and adapters for 4.4mm, 2.5mm, and 6.35mm in addition to the standard 3.5mm.
The IEM itself looks unique, with the back being made of Taiwanese acacia wood and being semi open back and the nozzle being made of ceramic.
Because of the unique design, it doesn’t fit directly in the ear canal but rather sits outside of it like an earbud or a flathead would do.
Bass:
It’s quite bass light despite having that neodymnium dynamic driver. I would say the level of bass is nearly flat and neutral reference level. Fine for those of you who enjoy light bass, but definitely lacking for those who want something with a bit more fun and energy. Detail of the bass seems to be decent but nothing spectacular
Mids:
The mids are very forward and seem to dominate the presentation. It sounds very detailed and organic and natural. A great set for listening to vocal tracks.
Treble:
The treble seems recessed as well, despite the AMT driver being touted. I can hear a bit of treble sparkly and energy but it’s not really that prominent in this IEM which is disappointing considering the unique driver tech.
Technicalities:
The detail level is average and acceptable but it’s nothing special for a $3k IEM. The soundstage is very wide and one of th widest I’ve experienced from an IEM around this price, maybe due to the semi open back design. I think that’s the major thing it has going for it.
Overall:
This IEM is a mid forward IEM with wide soundstage – great for those who enjoy vocal tracks. However, it’s not an all arounder and lacks the bass and treble presence for general listening pleasure. Overall I’d consider it a bit overpriced for the MSRP – it performs more like an IEM that is half the price around the $1500 – $2k mark. Still though if you can find this IEM for a discount I’d recommend it for vocal listeners.
