I’ve experienced issues of the tips moving from their desired position (though not of it staying in my ears).
This was specifically for tips where the shaft was quite wide and very smooth, such as the JVC Spiral Dot. I had great success using a small rubber spacer (like those for keyboards or watches) which I would put on the IEM nozzle before putting the tips on. This kept them in place securely.

I use Azla Sedna EarFit Lights on my Nio and U12t and they don't move at all on the nozzle. They stick right where I put them with no slip.The real issue I have is just keeping the tips on. An example is the Final Type E tips: when I try to put them on, they literally just slide right back off almost immediately. I have to play around with them for a bit to get them to stay on and then they'll usually pop off the nozzle when I take them out, or while they're in my ears. Seems that the paint or finish on the nozzle is a bit too smooth and slippery....
The SpinFits come with those little white spacers that can stretch over the 64audio nozzle, then when you put the tips on they can grip to that.Just wondering if anyone here ever has issues with eartips staying on the unverisal IEM models? I have a pair of u12t's and have attempted to try different tips, but most just slip off the nozzle (even the included silicone tips have slipped off inside my ear). The only eartips I can get to stay on are the Spinfit C100s...
Nice review, well written and articulated. You captured the essence of the Nio perfectly. It's one of those IEMs that, for me, I can just put on and listen to anything with and it'll make it sound good, relaxed, warm and embracing. It doesn't call attention to itself or flood you with a wall of details, but rather just lets you lose yourself in the music.
I finally got a chance to demo the 64 Audio Nio the past couple weeks, thanks to Headphones.com. I wrapped up a review of it and posted it here:

You’d need an extremely high quality camera and perfect lighting to get every nuance out of it. I like this photo cause it managed to capture the essence of it on some level but you’re right, there’s a lot more to itI don't have my A18s here but that looks too blue and too uniform. My faceplate definitely shifted colour in the light.
Don't get me wrong it's a great picture and it gets the blue shade out.
I'm not sure if it's even possible to get a great picture that properly shows off all the shades in the colouring. If I have some time when I get mine back I'll also give it a go.
It's a lot like mother of pearl in that respect.
