What's an open back Enigma . Is it different from the Enigma we have ?

Seems pretty gimmicky to me.

For anyone interested, IMR have just listed two pairs of open back Enigmas on their eBay store.

Where did Bob announce an open back Enigma? That's a new one.
Share your comparison with the closed back when you have them.

I don't think there will be a different from the closed Enigma. Already the IEMs from IMR that were both open and closed were sounding the same in both configurations

From first impressions, Enigma is no Titan.
From what I hear, at this stage of burn in, this is a more bassy set with narrower stage. As for the midrange is full sounding with interesting depth in vocals, this needs more studying I suspect .Treble recessed in comparison. Overall more meaty experience than Titan which has more treble extension and open presentation.

which nozzle, eartips, source, cable are you using?

 

[fablestruck]

Enigma black/black, Pro IMR cable
Titan black/gold, UM cable
I know, it's too early to draw conclusions but this is my raw first impression.
Both on BTR7.

This is goodnews to me wanted them to be a different experience getting excited now.

I know that not all share this view,
but it's apples and oranges to me.

Agreed. I think if you go back to my posts comparing these two you will see similar comments. Vocals/mids are the biggest differentiators for me in favor of Enigma. But Titan treble is better, if that's your thing.
