I wanted to explore Spinfit Omni because some of you were recommending them in the comments as great replacement eartips. But when I was working on this video, on some earbuds, the Spinfit Omni worked great, on others, it dramatically changed how those buds performed. So in this review we’re going to explore why that is, and I hope this helps you in your purchase decision.

Spinfit eartips are popular for their light, comfortable fit, and their hypoallergenic silicone that doesn’t cause irritation for users who are allergic to regular silicone. The Omni is their latest offering, designed to be even more form fitting than regular silicone ear tips. Notice how the tips swivel around the axis? This ensures a more stable fit regardless of the way the earbuds sit in the ear, because everyone’s ear canals are shaped differently.

The nozzle also has a rib which locks on, preventing them from falling out easily, that’s always a plus. Have a look.

Dos and Don’ts

Some dos and don’ts about the Spinfit Omni. You do have to make sure that the earbuds you’re buying it for doesn’t have a nozzle diameter wider than 5.5mm, or have a weird shape such as the nozzle of the Jabra Elite 10, which has a wide triangular shape.

Another thing to note is that the Omni does not have a wax mesh, so be sure not to use them with earbuds that come with tips that do have a mesh. This is to prevent wax and debris from getting into the earbuds’ nozzles and if there’s no mesh, it’ll be impossible to clean. A good example is the Sony WF-1000XM5. As you can see, its nozzles are really narrow and don’t have its own mesh, which is actually built into the tips it comes with.

With other earbuds that come with regular non-mesh eartips like the Jabra Elite 8 Active and the Beats Studio Buds Plus, you can use the Omni with them.

Sound Quality

So, how do the impact the sound quality of your earbuds? It turns out that it really depends on how your buds were designed. When used with the Beats Studio Buds+, as you can see in this frequency sweep, the tips don’t really have an impact on sound, except for taking a bit away from the high frequencies. But by and large the sound quality is going to be identical to when its used with the stock tips.

However, when used with the Jabra Elite 8 Active, it’s a different story. The tuning pattern seems rather similar to the stock tips, only that there’s a pulling back below 700 hz all the way down to the sub bass frequencies. Whether that’s a good thing or not depends on how you look at it. If you felt that the Elite 8 Actives were too bassy, this would essentially fix that. But if you feel the bass was just right, you might have to push it up a bit more in the Sound+ app. Same goes if you feel you need more detail and thickness in the vocals. What’s also interesting is that it changed the character of the high treble even more than what we saw on the Studio Buds+.

In Conclusion

In my opinion, this is because of the different nozzle lengths of their ear tips. The Omni is quite similar in dimensions to the Beats tips so it’s able to retain much of its sound signature, whereas the Elite 8 Active’s tips are quite a bit shorter than the Omni.

The drivers sitting a little further away with less seal could have led to the bleed in bass and treble, emphasizing the mid a bit more. Have a listen to the samples comparing the Elite 8 Active with and without the Omni ear tips.

In terms of active noise canceling, that would also depend on whether the Omni’s having less of a seal than the stock ear tips. If you’re replacing foam tips such as those of the Sony WF-1000XM4, then I’m going to straight up say that for sure, its noise canceling performance will take a hit because a layer of silicone won’t isolate as well as foam.

But assuming that you’re replacing silicone tips of a similar size and dimension, the difference will be minimal at most. In the following samples you’ll hear little difference on the Beats, there’s even a bit of improvement there in terms of blocking the high mids. But if the Omnis are taller than the ones you’re replacing, such as the stock tips of the Jabras, there is going to be less noise canceling. Have a listen.

So, ideally the Omni should have similar dimensions to the tips you want to replace so that it doesn’t affect its performance. Nonetheless the one thing I really like about the Omni is it makes earbuds fit more organically. On the Jabras, since it adds more length to the overall shape I can feel it’s a bit more snug, but without that feeling of pressure on my ear canal because it’s adapting to the unique contours of my conch. Have a look.

Same thing on the Beats. And since the silicone’s softer, it becomes a more gentle fit. So these are the Spinfit Omni. If you want to take a look at them, use the links to its Amazon page below.
