Really appreciate shedding some much needed light on this situation. Also appreciate the discount opportunity for the CKLVX. Once again appreciate the tremendous work and effort you devote to the community and this crazy hobby!
Thanks for all of your hard work and preparation. I just ordered the CKLVX for $138.00. The faceplates are so beautiful, too. I can't wait to get them! Thank you.
@@JoseFerreira-zb7wh No! I'm waiting for the Spring Sale at Ali that (hopefully) should come in March. People might try messaging Myers Audio Store first before ordering. Myers has 2 listing pages for the CKLVX, one for ~$154, and the other for ~$159. ??? - Beyond me. I'm also waiting for Tony to review the Sliivo SL41, and the other CKLVXs he mentioned. I wonder if the Sliivo SL41 will be the same as the CKLVX SL41 (?). The SL41 is said to be a very different "monitor" tuning. Sorry about the price SNAFU for you.
Great review. Thank you! I’m curious - are the cables from the Pula02 and D41 interchangeable? I’ve noticed the Myer-Audio IEMs have a non-standard 2-pin recessed slot. I haven’t found any cables outside their store that works with their IEMs.
The Honest Audiophile did a review on the D41 and seemed to like it a lot. Some comments asked if it was basically a cheaper Tea 2 or Hype 4, and the general consensus seemed to be yes. I only bring this up because of how he had ranked the hype 4 above the Studio4, which is a set I have but some things about its sound have gradually become a "meh" experience for me. First of all, i think the bass on the Studio4 is chef's kiss though the Juzear 41t having a DD for a similar tuning does sound a tad more "complete". I also feel the mids on the 41t are more "aggressive" in tonality the way i like, so snare hits in metal songs (or guitars in general for that matter) have a greater sense of rawness. But then the Studio4 has this smoothness to the treble that limits cymbal strikes and guitar "bite" to mere pitter patter of details, which makes brighter sounding songs (even something like "I Want You Back" by The Jackson 5) sound kind of dull or even sloppy. I would think the D41 and/or hype4 have the "snap" that the Studio4 lacks but i don't know for sure. At this point I'm willing to give up the Studio4's technicalities a tad if I'm getting a more versatile presentation out of it. A studio monitor imo (especially a 400 dollar one) shouldn't have to play it this safe in the highs is all I'm saying. Spinfit eartips (cp145) do bring in that missing excitement but ehhh. Sadly the 41T wouldn't fit my right ear so that's why I'm not using them, and they sound better with those Spinfit tips too but still can't get the right bud to stay in place- probably because of how little the "wing" of the shell is pronounced (the aful p5 and Studio4 fit me perfectly, for reference).
I'm taking your suggestions into consideration. I can't decide between PULA PA02 and HYPE 4. My goal is to listen to music and play games. I will use it in my live broadcasts on Twitch. Which one do you think would be more suitable for me?
Pula02 has great tuning but for games there is some narrow staging impressions, the hype4 is a different presentation probably with improved technicalities on the bass. Pula/cklvx price are awesome (you get close to 350buck sound if not better if you listen to the competition in that price range)
@@nenadcavoski7271 I assume you mean CKLVX D41 and SL41.....both are excellent.....but SL41 is perhaps a little more coherent and realistic. Difference is not however monumental and will depend on your musical preference
Ive been looking to buy another pair iems and couldnt decide between mega5p ultra, performer 5, chopin, nova and now this d41. Which one would you recommend out of these?
I cant decide between D41 or Dunu falcon ultra. I dont know if is worthy the money gap. I am bass lover(no basshead) and mainly listen 2000's rock/numetal, thanks in advance
Perhaps iI was not clear in my explanation, for which I apologise.....I said that the price was 138usd...which is slightly lower than the usual. No additional discount , other than this reduction. Now if you live in the EU , the price is subject to a EU import tax. My apologies for the confusion.
hi I would like to ask you a question and get your opinion, would you choose between these 2 iem the pula 02 or the cklvx I am a big fan of your reviews thank you
I would go for the CKLVX D41 because it's cheaper .....they are in essence the same. But if you wait a few days I will review the new 1+4 from CKLVX ....which potentially is the right and best one to go for.
I owned the P5 and I'm now maining the pa02, the tuning is very similar. P5 has better staging, sub-bass but is more congested in the vocals. Comfort is better if P5. Pa02 is less technical on the bass (less impact of bass) Technicals are close but P5 with its uneven treble could sound less resolving in that vocal region (fixable with EQ).
My favorites so far were TRN T-Ear Tips on S size. Smaller size allows a deep fit and makes these bigger IEMs super comfortable. TRN T-Ear Tips make vocals more present in the mix, project a bigger sound stage and give a slight boost to mid bass, which in my opinion complements very well CKLVX D41. Be aware, ear tips are a very personal choice, what works for me might not work for you.
Hello Tony! I’m in contact with MYER Audio. I’ll clear up something’s. I have the CKLVX D41 and SLIIVO D41. They have very different tunings. Yes, Juzear and Pula come from MYER audio. They are in the process of making a 1DD+6BA under MYER audio. I was told that the CKLVX has a 10 mm bio comp dd. That’s all. Wonderful review Tony!
@@matisa2190 They are not upgrades. The CKLVX is warm neutral with great bass. Great for my Hardcore and works even better with everything else. The SLIIVO is bright neutral with lots of air. Great at picking up details. Has a nice bass kick but less than CKLVX. One problem is present with the SLIIVO. You NEED high quality music files or else the music will sound horrible and too airy. A good quality Dac is also highly recommended. That is how detailed the SLIIVO is.
@@Saturno_R1 LMAO 🤣why would you use them like that? That's like taking a mid range suit to the gym. I don't think its smart be using iem's outdoors cause of moister and the constant movement. Just buy some budget iems for outdoor stuff. I got a pair of KZ EDX LITE as my beaters cause, you know, $150~ aint easy to make. 💀
Well when I was comparing it with the Chopin, I would leave the D41 always a little longer in my ears....so I guess subconsciously I was preferring it to the Chopin
@@MichaelJMalloy Hi m very confused between the two, can you PLEASE beirfly mention the key differences between the two? (soundstage imaging base etc) Thanks a lot for your time in advance
My friend i am sorry to hear you are having problems with Pula. I try my best to be very neutral in all my reviews and consistently tell people to try the IEM first and think carefully before going out and spending money. I talk about the products , show weather or not they are good in my view and on occasions even point problems I have personally encountered. What exactly seems to be the problem you.have, what models.....perhaps I can use my influence and try to help resolve it. Also remember one thing .....no brand is free from having problems.....what seperates them is then how they handle those problems. Example how many times have you heard Moondrop having QC issues......many I can assure you, and unfortunately not handled in the most professional way. I think the problem you are having must have an explanation.
@@akros9333I bought the Juzear 41t after its review and with a month of use its shells cracked without suffering impact. Now I have the same problem with the PA02 after 2 weeks of use. It's a bit irresponsible to recommend unknown brands that don't have strict quality control.

Thanks for buying the Pula and doing the comparison, be interesting if the PA02 also had a 7mm DD.
Both stores deny any affiliate to one another.
but they probably have the same manufacturer. or one of them is actually the manufacturer. It's a chifi classic by now.
@@JoseFerreira-zb7wh So correct One says they are the OEM - Meyer-Audio the other store from PULA said they work with the Tuner?
Apperantly Myer Audio has been transparent about these brands being made by same company.
They are good for the price and so is the sliivo41 apparently. Nice
I can't wait to see how it graphs to these two.
Thanks for all of your hard work and preparation. I just ordered the CKLVX for $138.00.
The faceplates are so beautiful, too. I can't wait to get them! Thank you.
Been thinking about them also.
What are your impressions?
Did you like them? Are they worth it? Cheers!
Would love to know how they turned out. I am about to buy them @Empty12345
I should also mention, thanks for securing a discount for us! Especially when you yourself paid the full price!
did you get it? no special discount for me. Only the ones available to anyone, already on the product page. Nowhere near the values Tony mentioned.
@@JoseFerreira-zb7wh No! I'm waiting for the Spring Sale at Ali that (hopefully) should come in March. People might try messaging Myers Audio Store first before ordering.

If or when you get your hands on the EPZ Q1 Pro i think youll be mesmerized by what they achieved for $30.
😂 perfect timing
I'm interested in the CKLVX! Which meyer site should i refer to? Also thanks for this review!
Thanks for your review of the Pulas! With regard to technical capabilies and musical approach, how do they compare to mangird tea 2s?
Thanks! Good to know the straight story!
It's the same? Go for the value one then. Good video. I've been looking for this comparison. Thanks.

@@akros9333 no drama Tony, not your fault.

@@akros9333 could you say what will the price of that be (more or less) so one can see if the wait is worth it or just go for this one?
IMO these overtake the AFUL Performer5
How do you feel the Aful Performer 5 compare to these?

Anyone tried using the 75ohm impedance adapter for the CKLVX?
What ear tips are good for the CKLVX D41?
anyone ??

Be aware, ear tips are a very personal choice, what works for me might not work for you.
I'm getting clean bass, engaging mids, fuller vocals, smooth treble, immersive soundstage and correct imaging using CKLVX D41 with foam tips and balanced cable (tested with warm sources).
Pula PA02 or Truthear Hexa?
Which eartips are you using?
These two or Truthear Hexa?
Can you tell me if is worth adding some extra money for tancjim origin?
if you have the money definitely go for the origin
The price seem to have gone up 50-150% since this review?
i bought the paula pa02 for 123usd it is good price ?
Excellent price
How?
Hello Tony! I’m in contact with MYER Audio. I’ll clear up something’s.

Chopin as more sub bass, Pula punchier clean bass and I prefer the vocals more on the Pula. Just sounds more accurate overall to me.
