Crap, I missed this opportunity, been quite keen to try out Meze headphones and these headphones seem to have the kind of sound signature I tend to lean to, a warmer, thicker slightly bass emphasized but otherwise pretty linear balance.

Where is the European unit now :)

I second this motion as i I can then work out a rough approximation what month and week I might be receiving the N99's so I can set an extra place at the dinner table for the N99!?! :)

Hey guys, the Neos arrived with me in Sydney on Monday - and enjoying them greatly. Haven't A/B'd them against my Classics yet, but they're every bit as exciting and have the same engaging SQ.

I will say they're better at being portable, for me anyway, because a) the rubberised upper cable fixes the microphonic issues greatly, and b) I don't think they look as conspicuous / flashy as the Maple+Silver Classics...meaning I'm happier to wear them more!

The new cables are indeed a great feature! I think that both Neo and Classics are fashionable actually. Would happily wear either outside. You're living in an area where you would prefer not wearing something flashy?

Not exactly, truth be told I originally bought the Maple/Silver Classics for my girlfriend - she LOVES the looks of them. I happened to love the sound, so ended-up spending more time with them than she did...

Not that there's anything wrong with the way they look, they just look better on my blond GF than on a 6ft1 bloke.

My wife happens to fancy the Neo! She's not making fun of me with these on lol, as far as sounds goes... I have to say the bass isn't what I was expecting, kinda loose, with a touch of audible distortion out of my solid state,

But, they improve with a tube! Bass is still kinda loose, but the overall timbre is better. Bass aside though, I really love the overall balance of these! Exceptionally even, no obvious peaks or dips to my ears. Detail is good to,
