I got the reason - the jacks I bought does haven has a ring with screw
thread (connected with ground) with a diameter of 7.5 mm
(and the 4-pole) pin is inside).

The first jack I soldernd had this ring a little bit more to the outside
- also both jacks I bought does not have accurate 90 degree between pin 
and ring and the ring has 7.5 mm in the diameter - the official headset jack
only 4.5 mm so that could be the reason for pulling out a bit more...

So the second jack works fine.

So comparing with 3.5 mm or 5 mm jacks the tolerances with 2,5 are
quite low and when you buy a jack in a shop IMHO would worth a deep look
about them.

Removing the ring and the 18 mm long GND banner give an adapter like the
one glued into plastic of the 90 degree angel jack of the official
headset. I would not encourage to use an jack without a 90 degree angel
connected to the neo inside of a pocket - this > 2.5 cm long adapater
would gave a to much high moment on the jack on the PCB.

Yes, they also have a angel jack... :)
But they are only for headphones. Selfsolderd adapter will have the
advantage to be able to use the mic in as well ;)
