đŸ”¶ PULA (audio) PA02

@ctjacks336 sweeeeeet - I settled on some stock Penon tips for my pair. They fit like a literal glove, and, those tips took care of the strange random pressure build-up I started to experience.

I had a little bit of pressure with some of the tips but nothing to crazy

Agreed a stiffer tip seemed to help if you want to try. Something like the KBear 07 or 08. Similar to those.

The whizzer did well for me,the Trn t are just so damn comfy and get a phenomenal seal with no pressure. Haven’t used them for any of my other sets

The 8kHz peak in tgx78’s graph seems to be a measurement artifact, it shows up in pretty much every IEM measurement of his.

It’s much less in TDM’s graph and more of a bump or hill there. If it was something egregiously audible, TDM would have mentioned it and not have called it a masterpiece in tuning.

But we’ll see (hear) I guess.

You definitely don’t hear that 8k or if so adds in some secondary harmonics.

FYI that is also my set Jim has. He ordered one without knowing I did as well but his is still in transit. It will be good to see his set and how it measures as well.

I also have a second set incoming to compare.

Each shell toplate is hand made and unique per set I liked that.

Yes, they are different. I ordered a special version, as soon as it arrives to me, I will immediately take measurements. As for the peak, it is there and audible, I redid the tuning in my SR05 and it went away, but only on 10kHz :slight_smile:

I see the Pula PA02 is down to $148.
Are they worth it, or has the hype train derailed?
It usually doesn’t derail until the day after I place my order, so hopefully it’s still chugging along.

I think most who bought are still awaiting delivery. Give it another couple of weeks and then we’ll either see an exponential increase in hype, or a spectacular trainwreck (the law of drama not allowing for mere cromulence or mehity)

I did see something interesting. There is an earphone called the CKLVX something-or-other which may be identical except for the shell design. It’s down to $141 today. May be able to save a few bucks.

What’s interesting is that the graph on the CKLVX Ali page is exactly the same as the red line on the Pula graph (the one they refer to as “a certain brand priced at $1,000” ).

Check it out at MYER-AUDIO Store. Search for CKLVX.

I asked that seller about this IEM and he doesn’t respond about my questions about the CLKVX 1+4 ?
I agree graph looks suspiciously the same.

I also asked about this from Original earphones store and was told it is NOT the same and this brand is unknown?

Who actually knows the only way would be to get both and a/b. Still trying.

I think I’d play it safe & go with the Pula, especially since they aren’t providing any information. Not worth the risk to save $10.

Second quick impressions showing Hype train Cho Cho Cho!

But I love hearing from actual buyers.
That how timeless sets get created by real users.

Two best cable pairings were for me

A excellent cable great price and modular and
The NiceHCK GreenMood mine is permanent attached because the synergy but it’s not a cheap cable.

Speaking of cables, I’ve often found balanced 4.4mm to make hybrid IEMs, or BAs more specifically, sound boosted, artificial, etched, overdriven.

3.5mm has always sounded more natural smooth and cohesive with BAs because it plays better with the inherent separation and transient edge of BAs.
