Per me i pula pa02 e il pula anvil 114 2 iem di altissimo livello , però sai se i recensioni ne parlano poco o niente, non vuol dire che non sono prodotti validi, sai pula è una piccola azienda che non può permettersi di competere con i colossi del settore, ma usa driver e armature bilanciate di alta qualità, ma sopratutto hanno gente che sa sintonizzare in modo corretto che poi se ci pensi è la cosa fondamentale, vai a vedere i loro gusci lavorati a mano e capisci , non è una pubblicità ma ho sia cavi che iem comprati da loro e ti posso dire che ne vale la pena, adesso sto ascoltando anvil con il suo conduttore osseo e ti posso dire ché magico midbass e slam potente, soundstage e prestazioni almone paragonabili a prodotti da almeno 500 euro, puntualizzo e una mia opinione ciao belli

Pula PA02. It sounds great with all the music I like and the price was acceptable. Moondrop May is also very good for its price and convenience but I keep going back to the Pula when I really want to do nothing else but listen to music.

PULA PA02. It hits the sweet spot for me in terms of price and performance and looks and sound signature.

Err Basically everything. Just make sure it's well fitting and a £10 IEM will sound better than airpods. If you want a specific recommendation, I really like the Pula PA02.

Wan'ers at $20 will get you 90% of the way. Many people are satisfied with Wan'ers and to be fair, I really love them and could have just stopped there. The next leap is under $100 AFUL Explorers at 95% of the way there. At under $200, I love my PULA PA02's. After that, sure there are some improvements but they are negligible and the returns are absurdly diminishing. I like most of the IEMs I own including the Sennheiser IE 600s but I listen to my Explorers and Wan'ers probably the most. They're good enough, light, convenient, and low priced enough that I'm not going to cry if something happens to them while I'm on the move. If I were new and I knew then what I know now, I would get the Explorers, replace the cable and tips (zonie and Dunu S&S), and be a happy camper.

IEMs cables can be swapped to many other 3rd party cables no matter if( 2 pin 0.78mm or 0.75mm) S pin/QDC or MMCX Or others I have adapters for my Sennheiser ie200 ie600 that allows 2 pin 0.78mm cable to be used with them. TBH all my IEMs use different cables and different tips than what they came with as my own preference. Tips are very important for the sound of IEMs to get a proper seal in your ears. The tips and seal can make a huge difference between each person using the IEMs the better the seal the better the sound. Watch YT review Audio monk is a good iem and dap reviewer Gizaudio is another Super reviews is also ok The DUNU titan X looks good dual drivers metal shell 37 $ AliExpress YT review... https://youtu.be/JMjY45C6a0I Cheaper single Dynamic driver IEMs would be the TRN Conch to dip your toes in the water decent quality for cheap price also a lot of extras included for the QDC cable. I got mine for 13usd from AliExpress You just need to try a few different IEMs and pick up a few different types of cheaper IEMs to find what you like driver and tuning wise. More mids more treble or lower Along with a selection of IEMs tips to get the best seal you can the seal can help make IEMs sing So you find your preferred sound profile of IEMs I started with a couple of cheap kz IEMs like the Castor bass edition IEMs Then I tried a few TRN IEMs TRN Conch IEMs TRN crinnical zero red IEMs good bass Attri T10 planar IEM planar Planar only driver IEMs is too peaky to many ears For me it's fatigue which gives me a headache after a short while micro planar as part of a multi driver setup in IEMs can give great details retrieval combined with Dynamic driver and BA drivers. Everyone is different to what tunings or drivers they like prefer or what their own ears can stand. Planar can give a fast punchy pace with fast bass, high treble more detail retrieval. But so can a combo of Dynamic driver & BAs combos. Then i tried some more expensive multi driver IEMs some can be found cheaper in sales. I don't think I paid full price for any IEMs after the zero reds due to sales or discount codes from AliExpress and it's games login daily to build up coins that give money off once you have items in basket. For a good bass the QOA Adonis new IEMs I really like They are great also have nice details for instrumental music. EPZ P50 IEMs = Crystal clear sound. Awful performer 5+2 great alrounder good details good bass. Shanling Me600 are a warmer IEM to my ears like old 70s fuller warmer speakers and Amps metal shells gives nice bass and details. PULA PA02 IEMs to me gives fast punchy sound great alrounder as well Sennheiser ie200 tape modded f With memory foam tips good for acoustics MTV unplugged music Sennheiser ie600 better sound than the ie200 but for the price I think some of the ones above do sound better but the fitting cannot be beaten these can sit in your ears all day night with zero discomfort at all. But are pricey for a single 7mm Dynamic driver. Cables Lots of cheap decent OCC cables to be had for cheap. Yongse makes some cheap but decent quality IEMs cables depending on if you want a braided thin or thicker cable in different materials terminations. Most expensive cable I own are DUNU hulk IEMs cables can buy in either MMCX or 2Pin and have a modular connection so can swap terminations to type C 2.5mm 3.tmm 3.5mm pro or 4.4mm. I buy from AliExpress during sales discounts and wait for a week or more sometimes Because it's much cheaper if you're buying during a sale. You can look up the connection of your IEMs type and then buy in 3.5mm or 4.4 some cables have switchable plugs For 3.5mm to 4.4mm. So you can swap over from 3.5mm to 4.4mm. depending on what you are hooking them into Sometimes the manufacturers can make the IEMs and offer them in different connections MMCX or 2Pin 0.78mm You can pick which IEMs sound profile you prefer Then look for alternative cables and tips The QDC/ S pin connections tends to be the Cheaper IEMs mostly like KZ offerings. They sell a lot bectthey are cheaper than most but quality control can be a little off from set to set. Whilst other manufacturers Of the more expensive IEMs tend to use either 0.78mm 2 Pin Or MMCX or both As it's terminations into IEMs anything usually over 30 or 40 USD tends to use MMCX or 0.78mm. It is all trial and error for IEM sound profile Or watch a lot of reviews on YT to get a feel for what they say about said IEMs A single Dynamic driver can produce some great sound alone So not always the need to jump up to multi driver IEMs with BAs (balanced armatures) Or planar magnetic drivers or micro planar drivers which can range from a few USD to hundreds depending on it's manufacturer the coating used or tunings until you find your preferred sound profile. I would start with YouTube and watch a few reviews look up what sound profile you are wanting from your IEMs. Using IEMs on stage you may just want a neutral plain sound profile Whereas most music listeners many enjoy a more fun engaging sound that performers do not want whilst performing

Hellz yea right before your post I was reading through these comments and I'm like oh great it's a gathering of teenagers blaring misinformation lmao 🤣😂. I don't have like super super expensive sets but Jesus they need to maybe explore a little haha. Truthear and juzear and tangzu are not the only iem manufacturers that there are. I have the Pula pa02 and I love them to death, only 1 DD and 3 balanced armatures or 4 I don't remember lol. I also have the Epz P40s and omfg those are my all time new favorite 2 DDs 1 micro planar, and 1 pzt driver Amazing staging, coherence, everything. They're talking about 20 dollar iems like you literally can't do better insanity.

- Xuan NV (neutral to warm): cleaner on the midbass than Wan'er, slightly less warm but retain same vocal forwardness feels - Defiant (U-shaped) : less punchy midbass than Wan'er but way more bassy on subbass. vocal slightly recessed behind its bass and treble - PA02 (U-shaped) : I feel it's similar to Defiant but the vocal is more relaxed and with more treble energy up top If you go with Xuan NV i definitely recommend to buy a dac/amp dongle to drive it, as it's a bit hard to drive with smartphone

I received mine yesterday and sincerely I am pretty impressed, In a good way. I have read something about the problems, but so far I like it. They are beautiful and sounds amazing. Specially electronic music. Love the bass and the warm sound. That's what I was missing. Having the simgot ea500 lm and I was a bit disappointed with the sound. Love the bass on pula's and the clean sound when using my hiby r4. Happy so far

The only thing I don't like it's the cable. But I'm now using the simgot ea500 lm cable and its a nice upgrade
