People were still hyping these claiming they had Knowles drivers, when it was pointed out numerous times they had generic/custom drivers. Definitely some fishy stuff going on with these Pulas.

I asked this is the response. This is ChiFi so who knows?
They do sound good even if they are custom?
Only way to know for sure is to crack them open.
Well the seller sounds pretty matter-of-fact so not your fault or anyone else’s if they aren’t really Knowles, and if they sound good, then maybe they are really Knowles, or maybe they are custom & better than Knowles. Break one open now & solve the mystery.

Ha ha no way I like my sets in one piece or at least justba left and right. We need Jeff Fry to get a set and sold the mystery.

I thought this other new one was also a PULA clone but it turns out they are completely different, different shells , and tuning they sound nothing like.
So if people didn’t like the flat mids on the PA02 your really not going to dig the SLIIVO SL41. Or maybe you will?
A more energetic PA02 more mids forward on first listen IDK still trying to wrap my head around the sound signature, I like it but cant figure out why yet.
The stock cable is wicked and is exactly the same as a Juzear Limpid

I gotta look into those tunings more, I originally thought I’d hate Pula since it wasn’t treble boosted enough but I actually ended up loving that tuning

Them saying it uses “29689” and “31736” does not confirm anything more than which model it is, as Knowles, LS/E-Audio and Bellsing all use the same modelling names. (“inspired” by Knowles".)
Some other examples of common BA drivers:

We are so pounded by Harmanish tunings and V shape snd Chi-Fi “Female Poison” pins gains we forget what a less colorful sound is.
Not our fault.
I also enjoy some of those but keep gravitateing away.
Its nice to see tunings from Chi-Fi that are breaking the mold.

Wow ok I assumed and stand corrected thanks for the enlightening detailed list.
So the BA could be anyone or a combination there of drivers from mixed sources.
I never got corrected by the seller and just assumed it was the Knowles drivers and it still could be?

My mistake and have to ask deeper questions in the future.
Thanks for pointing that out RG.

Yes, it could be one of the 3 BA makers out there. With them not saying Knowles (or Lou as they call them in china) it is more likely to not be them as they would market them if it was.

Thank you for calling this out! I was wondering why it was assumed that they were Knowles based solely on model numbers

The only scenario where some model numbers would confirm a specific brand, would be if it was the ones from Sonion. As they are the sole makers of BAs like theirs (afaik) and no one else uses their naming system.
