Howā€™s the sound of PA02 with DC06 Pro? my preferred genres are mostly Reggae,90ā€™sHip-Hop and RnB.
Am saving up to pull the trigger on these bad boys. I like punchy rumbling sub bass.

Mine are due today too. Not sure Iā€™ll get much of a chance to try them until late this evening though. AliExpress tracking has been pretty good for me and Royal Mail actually getting it to me today rather than keeping hold of it for another day like they like to do with Tracked 48.

Mine are still MIA since Jan 15th.

No updates for a week. Hoping they just magically turn up in my mailboxā€¦

Yeah, these look incredible. Far better than the photo shows.

Super quick 10 min impressions are that the shell is a little bigger than the OD200ā€™s and not quite as comfortable. Sound feels a little more open, brighter than the OD200ā€™s. Cable seems nice, case also nice.

Will need more listens but going to be hard to choose between these and the OD200ā€™s.

Shit Pic but promising sound quite bright with less bass than the OH700VB not sure if the magic I feel with the Orivetis is there but early days Iā€™m


getting Penon Fan2 vibes with more details and better treble. Loving the cable.

Alright I got mine, cable physical quality is good but Iā€™m not sure how people like it. Iā€™m not someone who can hear differences on cables so I just go for looks.

Only listened to it for 10 songs worth and Iā€™ll be honest I thought I wouldnā€™t like it since I love my Variationsā€™ treble boost and when I saw Pulaā€™s graph I was like ā€œIā€™ll give it a whirl but fingers crossedā€.

So far however Iā€™m loving it, itā€™s clear and detailed enough to my ears. I can even hear that annoying clock ticking sound from Billie Eilishā€™s What was I made for that I never noticed until I got my Vari. Not as airy to me but thatā€™s mostly since Iā€™ve gotten used to the ESTs from the other two sets I got.

Bass has that thump Iā€™ve been missing ever since Iā€™ve mained Vari that oddly enough I donā€™t get on my Up. Really a blast listening to Killkiyoshiā€™s Rule the World on these. Just absolutely great fun.

A side-note, I didnā€™t think the nozzle would be massive like my tribids lol, Iā€™m glad Iā€™ve gotten used to em but keep that in mind when buying em.

Hereā€™s my images of em, got mine so early that they only had blue shells at the time, hopefully they let us do two shell colors at some point and fingers crossed they got pastel pink.




Theyā€™re absolutely gorgeous, mine turned out even better than I expected appearance-wise playful but elegant. Love these things.

I donā€™t think Iā€™m getting on with mine after an hour or two of usage. Sound is great but the comfort just isnā€™t there for me. Something about the shell is digging into my ears and I have this constant feeling of pressure from it pushing in. If the OD200 is a 10 for comfort then this is maybe a 7, maybe 6.

The sound is awesome, so clear and really nice bass. But if the comfort isnā€™t hitting then it doesnā€™t really matter how good the sound is really.

A shame, I just canā€™t shake this feeling of them pushing against my ear no matter how I adjust them. Compared to the OD200 where they just go into my ear without issue and I immediately forgot theyā€™re there.

Very strange. Do you use the stock tips? I threw them in the trash immediately. What I use are the Spinfit CP100. It seems they have a longer bore than the stock ones. Since I received the PA02 I use them daily for many hours continously without any discomfort.

Tried stock tips as well as Final Audio Type Eā€™s but itā€™s the shell thatā€™s causing the discomfort for me. I keep going back and forth between these and the OD200ā€™s and the OD200ā€™s just disappear when I put them in. These just feel like the shell is pushing my ear constantly, a constant feeling of pressure and an ache.

Everyoneā€™s ears are different and I guess mine just donā€™t seem to fit with these too well which is a shame.

thatā€™s unfortunate, mine has the feeling of disappearing that youā€™re describing for this set that I donā€™t get on my Xenns Up or Vari

I tried rolling mine with the Azla Sednafit Earmax TWS and they work well for my ears as well, sticking with Type e for now tho

do you have/have you used other IEMs with similar shells with no issue? Im wondering if your ear just happens to not get along with ā€œwingedā€ IEMs which is not uncommon

I canā€™t see anything writing from outside and Iā€™m too hamfisted to open them myself tbh

also feeling some pressure from my Type E tips but Iā€™m more inclined to believe itā€™s from the temperature Iā€™m in, god I hope so

I donā€™t have too much experience with other IEMā€™s to be honest. I briefly had the Truthear Zero Redā€™s but quickly sent them back as I fell into the rabbit hole. I donā€™t remember the fit of those being an issue.

Recently had the Ikko OH10ā€™s and they were ā€¦ fine? There was definitely an element of not being completely comfortable with them.

In the last couple of days Iā€™ve had the OD200ā€™s and Pulaā€™s arrive and the OD200ā€™s are night and day ahead in terms of comfort over the OH10ā€™s and Pula-02ā€™s.

I think you might be onto something with the winged tips. The other two sets are also just bigger really.
