If anyone is looking to sell their enigma's, please pm me with details, thank you!
I'm curious about these cans. How much do they weigh? I'd like to compare them to my TH900's and my HD650's.
Thanks.

I do not know the weight in Grams but they weigh more than TH900 & about the same as LCD XC
They weigh exactly 500g, just shy of 18oz, so yes they fall on the heavy side but are rather comfortable to wear. I find mine to be extremely comfortable, though after I made some improvement to the suspension (an elastic pilot band which helps distribute the weight very evenly), can wear them for hours at a time without any signs/feelings of discomfort.
Until then, I plan to sell my Primes and Omnis and acquire another pair of Enigmas. They rule in my book big time, there's really no competition left in the closed end market.
I had a chance to do compare my Enigmas to the Ether C, on the same amp switching from one to the other by unplugging and plugging them a number of times (my thanks to Dan for graciously allowing me). It wasn't exactly apples to apples comparison as the Ethers had far superior cable, by far indeed, still to my ears the Enigmas are better soundwise just about across the spectrum. And the two areas that stand out were lows (no surprise here for anyone that has heard the Enigmas) and soundstage - the latter I thought will be a close call, it wasn't as the Enigmas' sound is very notably wider and deeper. So, for me the Ether C was the last contender for the best closed can, and the Enigmas retained the title unanimously.
This is not to say anything bad about the Ethers, if I never heard/owned the Enigmas they would rule supreme in my court, great headphones without any doubt. But as I told Dan, I ain't trading my Enigmas now or ever.
Also had a chance to listen to the Ether E, the electrostatics - now this is a different story, very different, I'd love to have a pair of those. Dan and Co are looking to get them to the market by year end, along with or to be followed by a e-stat amp. I'm eagerly awaiting to see the prices.

i have one incoming, and like jozurr i will then have three of LFF's headphones- slants, enigmas and code-x. But is the Audeze vegan the most recommended for the enigma?
