Phenomenal bass texture and quality. Mids are good if not great - I don't have much to nitpick about them - good note weight and excellent clarity. Treble is very sparkly and airy though some may find it a bit too much - I think the extra spice actually helps with instruments like violins. Imaging isn't quite as precise as U12T but stage is just as large if not more so. Timbre is not exactly natural but it is very good and definitely not offensive at all. My subjective favorite IEM to date. This is without a doubt a colored listen but it is so satisfying. Makes U12T sound almost sterile. That said both are good counterpoints to each other.

Best bass texture ever. Gorgeous treble extension, stage and imaging. Coherency and timbre a bit off. Upper mids/lower treble could be better. As amazing as it is, I couldn't fully connect with it (musically). Price is the biggest con.

Endgame-level detail paired with great tonality. Exceptional detail, high-quality bass, balanced tonality, and excellent timbre. The bass has a fast decay.

The Softears Enigma is a flagship tribrid IEM using a 12-driver array (2DD+6BA+4EST) with a hybrid 5-way/4-way crossover and an aluminum shell; the package also includes a premium Effect Audio cable. Street pricing centers around $3,699 USD and multiple reviews note the surprisingly comfortable fit despite the larger shells.

Tonal reports describe a warm-leaning, neutral-with-bass-boost balance: essentially an RSV-like midrange with extra low-end weight and smooth lower treble, extending well up top. Show impressions from Precogvision characterize it as “RSV with a dynamic driver and some extra bass,” which aligns with long-form reviews calling the Enigma warm, full, and balanced rather than aggressive.

Technical performance is a strong suit: reviewers note clean separation, high detail retrieval, and stable imaging; the EST tweeters can benefit from capable sources, while isolation is average. Factoring in its high MSRP, the Enigma’s execution is impressive but its value proposition is challenged by lower-priced alternatives (including Softears’ own RSV) that deliver broadly similar tonality at a fraction of the cost.

On one side TOTL Details but on the other side very accurate and non-technical sounding. Softears best but very expensive.

Pros
Great overall tonality. A hidden gem, but expensive.
Cons
does nothing wrong, but no special sauce.
