Oeeeeh mine are out for delivery, should be here between 10 minutes and and 2 hours.
My boy! Welcome to the family! Make sure to leave first impressions and comparition to mesh moded blon!
Theyâre here!
First impressions:
- they look gorgeous
- cable is underrated (in terms of feel anyway)
- tips are not the worse though I probably wonât use them because I have a lot.
- box is nice and spacious, better than for instance what you get with FiiOâs IEMs (FA1 and FH3)
- the fit and weight seems great, though I have only had them in for a couple of seconds.
I hope I get the chance to actually listen to them in between calls today, but first (non-sound) impressions are very good!
Can people seriously stop getting the gold one? Iâm trying to save here.
Graphene Cable you are mentioning (on the 2nd pic) , is it:

Noes, itâs the 8 core version
Uhh $150 cable⊠I have few expensive cables and I donât want to go there anymore. It is nice though, great find
Its usually 80usd but yeah, itâs expensive. The 4 core is lighter and also good, even it doesnât measure as good.
Okay Iâm not sure yet on whether Iâm really going to write a review and comparing these to other IEMs since there are a lot of people with way better ears than mine who will already do so, but hereâs a couple of thoughts after listening for a while.
- These things are really comfortable. The FH3 has been bumped from itâs throne in the comfort department for me at least.
- The tuning is really on point. I already know I can listen to these for hours without getting fatigued by the music or by the comfort of the shells.
- Bass is absolutely gorgeous, snares have impact and the cymbals sound great.
Megashort comparison with the FH3: Different tuning completely. FH3 has more details and better imaging, but the tuning of the Mele is better (IMO). I canât really tell when something has very bad timbre or is very incoherent, but instruments sound very natural on the Mele and it being a single DD means itâs coherent by nature.
Megashort comparison with the mesh modded BL-03: Tuning is very alike and I find it hard to find the difference in tuning. The Mele sounds a bit more spacious and itâs more detailed. I particularly noticed at the end of the song âGoing to schoolâ from the Memoires of a Geisha album, the soft bassline in the background is more detailed on the Mele than on the Blonâs. I feel like everything just has a bit more impact and a bit more detail with the Mele.
Thank you.
This is the kinda thing my brain latches onto
Hi all! thanks for starting this thread - Iâve been lurking here for a couple weeks and really enjoyed reading everyoneâs impressions My Mele dispatched today, so hopefully itâll be in my hands in the next couple of weeks!!
Could I ask those of you who have the Mele to test out these tracks? Really interested to hear how Mele performs. Many thanks in advance

Also, @nymz , olĂĄ~ thanks for contributing so much to this thread! Thoroughly enjoyed reading your well-written posts
In all seriousness both are must have IEMs in my opinion. If I had to choose 1, I prefer the Mangird Tea, but you canât go wrong with either.
I can do it, but I donât know them so I donât really know how they are supposed to sound
Congratz on your shipping, looking forward for your opinions!
OlĂĄ! Thanks for the words, means a lot!
lol Good luck! Wouldnât we all.
This is my struggle exactly.
I want to have a complete set. Donât you?
Yes. And everytime I see someone getting it, I want it even more.
Iâll let people get theirs first, I want it for aesthetics, no need to skip the queue yet.
Usually single DD IEMs are going to be more coherent and have better timbre than hybrids. But I agree, the Mele is very coherent and has good timbre. Hybrids will have a leg up in detail/resolution imaging and separation because of the driver make up.
Itâs good to have all different styles of sets with different driver configs so you can listen/study how they effect the way the music sounds. Youâll probably come to conclusions that you might prefer certain IEMs with certain songs in your library because of their strengths/weaknesses.
Wait till I receieve them all and begin taking my group photos. What will you do then? You will be powerless to resist.
This so sad because itâs true⊠Damn, Iâm screwed.
