i had the same reaction going from ksyriums to eurus. then again from handbuilts to enves. i, for one, couldn't get used to the sound so they're gone now. i went to zipp 303 and have the whooshing sound on hard efforts without the brake noise. fwiw, the 3.4s felt better, especially going uphill, but that noise coming down tho....

OK, here's my take. Three years ago I thought I'd try a set of generic carbon wheels for ti's and TT's. I didn't want to spend a fortune off the rip. The wheels were 60 MM depth clinchers and soooooo much faster than the alloys I had before and felt great on my road bike. Then at the beginning of 2017 I scored a set of immaculate Zipp 404 tubulars - WOW. And now the 60's seem OK. Summation - the Zipp's are just better wheels all the way around compared to the other two. I think your experience with the Enve's will be similar to mine. You simply have better wheels ans tires than before.

With the little suction cups molded into the soles. WHOP, WHOP, WHOP when we ran on smooth pavement.
