I don’t find it to be super demanding, it does sound way better the louder you get though. But around 30 / 100 on the onix and 20-25 /60 on the btr7 both high gain. Haven’t tried my shanling m3 ultra yet, but that’s probably between the onix and btr7. Also haven’t tried my fiio k11 either, probably this weekend.

I Got Pula PA02 delivered the same day as the Hype 4. And listend to the Hype 4 first... wow... It's an improvement over my Hype 2 for sure. Then I got to the Pula PA02 (Pula, please give it a better name... how about Cosmos? Due to the stars on the box). By the time the first track reached half way, I had already decided to return the Hype 4. (Fit is a tad tricky on the Hype series for me anyways). The tuning is just as you describe and what I am hearing. The stock tips are Sony C200 style tips and they sound the best after some experimental tip rolling. At one third the price I payed for the Hype 4, the PA02 is a value king and titan killer. Monarch MkII is no where near this set. I'm done with these expensive, overpriced hype trains. Pula completely outclasses a set some 6 times the price, by my ear. And a better fit too. Thanks Monk. You saved me lotta cash. This thing is a true gem 🤙

Hi monk! Are those new ear tips required to get the performance you described? I’ve been saving for a pair of iems with balanced tuning with great technical performance (not a bass head, I feel like we share a preference in sound signature, and I appreciate well balance between mids and treble since vocals and strings are my jam) Been eyeing the butterfly and project m, any thoughts? (I usually have a hard time getting iems deep into my ear, which held me back from blind buying for a while, I can’t find a store to demo any of those two lol, also afraid im gonna have to spend more if I go for project m cus I don’t have amps or daps I just plug my iem to my laptop) Thanks for the well explained review!

I would do 61T for now and thoose tips are also how I am getting a huge massive stage and a tighter bass over the Penon or AZLA tips. They are recommended I also went 1 size smaller than normal to get a deeper fit as well. I find that works great on this kind of shell for my ears.

Dear Sir, I have Myer Audio SLIIVO SL41 and JUZEAR BUTTERFLY 61T and both has the same cable, and same shell design, and even the place Vent-Hole. So, PULA PA02 = Myer Audio CKLVX-D41, Myer Audio SLIIVO41 = JUZEAR Butterfly 61T, it mean 3 of different Brands are manufactured at the same company. BTW sound of 61T is too much bass (below 60K around sub-bass), so I prefer SLIIVO41. Although 61T has well dumping control on bass, and it is first time that I feel "resolution" on bass frequency, usually feel the resolution on high frequency.

Hi TDM. Thanks for another great review. Can you confirm whether the Onix has balance control? I have reduced hearing in my right ear and need balance control to equalise the SPL. I currently use a Hiby R3 Pro Saber and also the Qudelix 5K (excellent app functionality) both of which have balance control. Purely looking at sound performance does the Onix beat the Hiby R4? Best wishes and keep up the great work.
@tonedeafmonk
@tonedeafmonk 3 күн бұрын
Yes it does, and it's on the app as well. Sound wise better stage than R4 and it sounds closer to the way the Hiby sounds on DSD Files, smoother and less sharp edges to the notes while still highly resolving. Overall if you were decided on a dongle or a dap I would go say dap because it's just more convenient for me.
@aurallychallenged
@aurallychallenged 3 күн бұрын
Thanks for your reply. I agree a DAP is more convenient and as I already have the Qudelix 5K which is so clever I probably don't need another dongle but you sounded so impressed with the Onix sound and build you tempted me and so many others. I know a large number of buyers of the Onix are having trouble connecting to their phones so I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger. I know you don't review many portable head amps but have you tried the Chord Mojo 2? I have it and find it superb as both a head amp and preamp. Best wishes and keep up the great work.

Great video! I recently found your channel, and all videos are really good. I am currently upgrading my gear to what I call my ‘end game’ setup: * Sundara -> Ananda Nano (already done) * AFUL Performer5 -> Dunu Davinci. Could you recommend something in a similar price range? What I love about AFUL is that they are super comfy. Is the Dunu also comfortable? For instance, does it have a pressure relief valve? * Hiby R3 Pro Sabre -> R4 * Topping DX3 Pro -> I hope it’s my end game. I only miss the balanced output. Do you recommend anything better, but still with a resonable price? Just a few questions if I may: * Does the ONIX Xl have better sound than the R4? * If I am happy with the loudness, would switching to balanced cables for the Dunu or Ananda improve sound quality when using the R4? * I am thinking of buying the Wiim Ultra, but I wonder if I can achieve similar or, hopefully, better quality by connecting the R4 to my amplifier. Thanks!
