How did you guys feel about the comfort of The Enigma? I decided a few weeks back to blind buy and take the chance on Luis's recommendation. He mentioned they are even lighter than his Paradox, which could mean more comfy. I plan to use them while moving around at work.

They were lighter than the Paradox, and had a suspension headband and cushy earpads. I thought they were plenty comfy, but then again I usually don't have comfort issues with headphones.

Well that is promising. Really looking forward to them.

I was going to apologize for not gracing you with my presence, but it sounds like you guys had a fantastic time anyway.  ;)

The Blackbeards are quite nice. A major improvement on the stock KS-H1. There's a good chance Blackbeard MK2 will have wood cups.

Would love to hear the Liquid Silk ("LL3").

I mostly talk about music there. Weird.

Perhaps I missed this somewhere, but is the enigma based on the T50rp or a different headphone?

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

LFF is keeping it hush-hush at this point, as it's still not officially out yet I don't think.

BTW, any pirates who got to spend some time with it, your thoughts would be appreciated:

They're custom drivers. Not sure if I was supposed to mention that, but I did in the thread. LFF, let me know if you'd like me to edit.

What's the sensitivity like?  A moderately sensitive closed back with LFF's personal touch sounds like an ideal headphone for me right now.

@Tari - Don't have solid number to give, but a quick quote from an email from Luis:

"They are rather efficient. They sound really good out of an iPod touch 3g. One of the beta testers was blown away at how it sounded with his touch playing apple lossless with NO amp.

I currently have them connected to my Cavalli CTH. However, I'd probably recommend a Vali for them if you wanted to amp them."

I think it is safe to assume the sens is relatively high and these are easy to drive (although scales more than likely).
