You've gotten one? Can you show me some pictures? I wanna see how they look IRL, not in those PR computer renders.



Aside from the good sound quality, these seem to excell in the build quality department :O 
yes the build quality is very good.

Look what showed up today! I had to sprint down the street to catch the courier. I guess there was a mistake in the address and they kept trying to deliver it to my neighbor.

I bought the Neo 11 last week. While it has really really nice sound quality for a single dynamic driver, I have few problems with them:
 
-first and foremost, i tried almost every tips from my collection (such as jvc spiral, sony hybrids, spinfit, complys, aftermarket memory foams) and I was having a really hard time finding a proper seal. Since the ear pieces are aluminum (i think), they are relatively heavy and fall out of my ears easily. At the end, I settled with comply, but I still don't feel "secure" with them in my ears.
 
-the isolation is relatively poor, even with comply tips
 
-the copper wire is relatively heavy. In addition to the heavy ear pieces, I always feel the earphones will fall off my ears when I walk around. Even if they don't fall down, the seal with my ear is affected.
 
I want to clarify I wasn't using the earphones for sports or anything. I was just wearing them for everyday stuff, such as going to work, catching a train, etc. If I am not moving around, the earphones are a pleasure to use.

Hello @ChickenButcher,
 
Thank you for choosing the Meze 11 Neo
 
As for making sure that the earphones will stay in your ears, we recommend using the clip that comes in the package. You just clip it on to your top and it will make the cable and the earphones themselves more stable into your ears by transferring some of their weight.
 
For isolation, the Comply tips and the double flange tips ("Christmas tree" tips) work best.
 
Depending on your ear shape, you could try hooking the earphones by placing them behind the anti-tragus lobe (see photo).
 
Another idea is to try hanging them around your ear, basically placing them upside-down. 
 
Let us know if any of these ideas help, ChickenButcher!

Thank you very much for reply! I usually don't use the included clip for my other iems, so that didn't come across my mind.. I will certainly give that a try!
 
As for tip rolling, I did try the double flange ones, but I found that it affected the sound a little. That's why I didn't stick with it. But I will try again later today!
