Where is he advertising the Mele?

Not directly, but starting minute 5:00 he talks about his tuning decisions and what makes the FHE great and unique (except pretty much everything he says applies to the mele as well)
EDIT: I could point to a couple of things in the graph, which would make me thing I would like the FHE more than the mele, but he doesn’t mention one of them.
It is an absolute hammer. Only set I got that is just plug and play with all my Hip Hop library

IER Z1R is NOT a basshead set. It is same as RSV again…NOT Basshead
They would not be popular if they were.
EE LX? FOCUS EDM?

how does this bass fare against the OH10?

It’s harder hit than Aurisonics ASG 2.5 with dial full open.
It’s the hardest hitter I have. More midbass slamming than OH10

They are actual basshead earwax loosening IEM.
Kinda rare actually.
Metal shell
$150
Enormous bass ( Specialty set pretty much for certain libraries)
Easy rec (For full or Part time Basshead anyway)

I have always regretted not buying the ASG 2.5
So let’s see how the Focus will hit!

Thank you very much for the review. These were recommended to me, but it is difficult to find information about them.
Also, the aesthetic seems more for older guys, listening classical music, because of the wood. It’s not ugly, but it really doesn’t look like an IEM for EDM bassheads, hehe
Question: Are the Xenns Up for bassheads or no? (I understand this is a joke/game, nothing serious, but I also understand that the Z1R cannot be a Basshead, if they want to be popular) The bass region seems pretty similar on the Xenns, the Mele and the FHE.
Thanks again!

UP is really able to do vocals well and not overtake the replay so no, it’s not a “Basshead” set.
I think it has more lift than IER Z1R but neither is rattling earwax.
The Z1R and UP can cross genre. I think a Basshead set is what it implies.
I rarely do vids for bassheads as most is total crap.
My channel started w/Basshead and the IEM and Headphone threads on Headfi were started by me
Me and another Aspy bought all the claimed eye watering head slamming sets and most with same gear could not do this.
Many tried. It was good fun.
Sound pressure in cup and vibration through chassis and pads…no easy feat.
UP is a EST having tribrid with a berry DD and good bass. Rare.
Good set.
Mele played and plays rock well which is my audience.
I do not consider Mele a basshead set.

I was so so very lucky to get them again
I was hunting for 3 years and swung a trade iirc?? I gave up a set worth over a grand I’m pretty sure?
It will shake all the wax outta your ear.
Bass…head

We got 574 Reviews from all over the world. Most U.S. sales are direct to Linsoul so Aliexpress is interesting as it is really worldwide.
Very cool seeing folks from Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Germany and others
** Aliexpress is so far a decent pool. Amazon is notorious…I mean notorious for fake reviews.
Hopefully Ali does not fall down that hole.
Now Linsoul. Despite the bulk of sales going through them most folks do not leave reviews.
I think large shopping platforms like Ali and Amazon seem more friendly to that OR…leaving a vendor review seems like ass kissing or hating or they incentivize it and no one wants too look like a simp?
Interesting point in the data…
The 3 dislikes are all for same reason.
Not tuning surprises
The filters.
This happened to a particular batch and I am not sure why. Too much adhesive film in the mesh?
The filters are part of the tuning particularly 1/DD sets
Amazon has really just begun getting feedback as their units went out later than Linsoul and Ali
First 4k units were off of my vid and word of mouth.
4-8K were an influx of sales by others and word of mouth.
Jetting over 10K was a result of those plus sales season fever.
Final thoughts:
Head Fi was a non factor. 
Looking at Z reviews and others it seems that it has diminished in impact or never really had much.
Z never needed it OR…it simply is a lounge lizard station and he always knew that
Discords are toxic as hell
EDIT:
If anyone can possibly figure out who that “Mike .I” is I’ll send him my own set with an apology note.
He has a right to be pissed and swore off ever using Linsoul again.
I’d like to fix that if he’d let me.

and there are some people who enjoyed it (like me) who did not leave any review yet!
This set does its job and fit the price tag, legit to get good review. Nice to see a proper analysis.

Thanks and thanks.
Theory was from 1st vid to let it sink or swim with buyers as it would and always does.
August was release,
Sept was bigger
October was bigger than that
and November because of sales season was the biggest by a lot.
Z didn’t Review
DMS didn’t Review
Josh Didn’t Review
( I asked to not even offer them )
Crin gave it a rec a few days ago ( no impact as of yet )
Super didn’t care for it
Zpolt same
Dan liked Aria better
Biggest anomaly was after @tkddans sound demo with Aria
I never cared for that set and not nearly as much as above mentioned reviewers who all interestingly mentioned Aria in the Mele vids. Bass is soft and treble is wack…very odd.
Sales boosted right after his demo because folks know that’s not the sound but item A" and how it relates to item “B” and the graphs are easy to pick up
Dan rec’d Aria but the sales of Mele bounced right after.
Watch that vid someday. Facinating stuff.

I still haven’t tried the Mele but it does appear more and more in comments around the web, which is far better than appearing a huge amount at the beginning and then disappearing a month later.
BTW @hawaiibadboy , I don’t know if you check DM’s but if you have read mine, just blink once for yes

Thanks for the shout out!
I would add that the Mele sounds like it could be many people’s preferences. If anyone wonders why I preferred the Aria, it’s more because of my tastes than it has to do with how much I think others will like one or the other.
I think many people would prefer the Mele. They’re just different but both very good at what they do
