Read Full Article: Neo Headphones: From Personal Listening to Shared Sound
A new company, TDM, has introduced the Neo, a multifunctional pair of wireless headphones that transform into a Bluetooth speaker by rolling up the flexible headband. Unlike previous models that either rotate ear cups outward or use an open-back design, the Neo features two sets of 40mm drivers: one for private listening and another for sharing music in speaker mode. With Bluetooth 6 connectivity, user-replaceable batteries, and support for voice assistants, the Neo offers up to 200 hours of battery life in headphone mode, though it lacks active noise cancelling, relying instead on memory foam ear cushions for passive sound blocking. Set to be launched via Kickstarter in January 2026, the Neo will be available in black or white for $249, targeting the high-end market without the common noise-cancelling feature. This matters because it highlights innovation in multifunctional audio devices, offering consumers more versatile listening options.
