The Enlightenment (2018) aka "The Conversion" began when I was re-introduced to earbuds via a pair of first gen custom Blurs and a pair of silky smooth Puresounds by a Thai audiophile and earbud enthusiast. I was utterly blown away by their soundstage and oh the cool dry comfort! Soon after I listened to a pair of early edition Monks and again was dumbfounded by the sound they produced and at such a low price point. Since I have gone over to earbuds, no more ear aches or headaches, nor sweaty tired ears. I can listen hours upon hours, consecutively, without issue.
