PULA Anvil 114 Review – When Things Go Wide!!

The Pula Anvil 114 is a tribrid IEM featuring 1DD, 4BA, and 1 bone conduction driver, offering a warm yet expansive sound signature. Before diving into the details, a big thanks to Pulkit from Gadget Generation for lending me this unit for review.

Unboxing & Accessories

The accessory package is excellent, including:

  • Modular cable with a screw-type interchangeable termination for durability
  • Multiple terminations for flexibility
  • Wide selection of eartips, including Dunu Candy, double flange, and spring tips
  • Premium carry case—one of the best I’ve seen at this price point, offering enough space for a dongle DAC and accessories

Design & Build

The stabilized wood faceplate ensures each unit has a unique design, giving it a classy aesthetic. The resin shell feels high-quality, offering a reassuring heft.

Fit & Comfort

Fit can be tricky due to the long, thick nozzle and custom-like shell. I had to size down my eartips for a secure fit. Additionally, proper shell contact is essential for the bone conduction driver to work effectively, so users with smaller ears should try it before buying.

Sound Performance

Bass

  • Mid-bass-focused, delivering a solid thump
  • Sub-bass has good rumble but less quantity than mid-bass
  • Attack could be sharper—bass can sound slightly bloomy and one-note

Mids

  • Warm and natural presentation
  • Lower mids have good body, but upper mids could be slightly more forward for balance
  • Vocals sound natural, with male vocals carrying weight and female vocals having slight huskiness
  • Presence region can emphasize “ss” and “ch” sounds on poor recordings

Treble

  • Smooth yet well-extended
  • Tastefully energetic mid-treble
  • Dip around 10kHz, but the air region has great extension, enhancing openness
  • Good treble bite, making fine details stand out

Technical Performance

  • Excellent micro-detail retrieval, capturing track nuances well
  • Somewhat lacking in macro-dynamics, especially in bass impact
  • Staging is exceptionally wide, likely due to bone conduction and treble tuning
  • Great depth perception and imaging, with good instrument separation

Conclusion

The Pula Anvil 114 stands out for its wide soundstage and warm-bright signature, making it an excellent choice under $200. However, its fit can be challenging, and dynamics could be better. If you love spacious, immersive sound, this is a great pick—especially as a complementary set to the Nova and Letshuoer Cadenza 4.

Would I recommend it? Yes, but be mindful of the fit!
