TDM Introduces Neo Headphones at CES 2026

TDM (Tomorrow Doesn't Matter) has announced its inaugural wireless headphones, named Neo, at CES 2026. The Neo headphones feature a dual-purpose design, functioning as both over-ear wireless headphones and a compact wireless speaker.

Design and Functionality

The Neo headphones incorporate a flexible headband designed to twist and roll, enabling the ear cups to merge and form a portable speaker unit.

Unlike other headphone-speaker hybrid models that utilize rotating ear cups or open-back designs, the Neo employs a distinct driver system:

  • Headphone Mode: Two 40mm drivers located inside the ear cups provide private audio listening.
  • Speaker Mode: Upon activation, either by pressing a button or reconfiguring the headband, the internal drivers deactivate, and a separate pair of outward-facing 40mm drivers engage to project sound externally.
Technical Specifications and Features

TDM states the Neo headphones offer a battery life of up to 200 hours in headphone mode. This duration reduces to approximately 10 hours when operating in speaker mode. The device is powered by two user-replaceable 1,500mAh rechargeable batteries.

Connectivity options include Bluetooth 6, featuring multipoint and Auracast support. A 3.5mm audio cable can also be used for wired connections.

The Neo headphones include a built-in microphone for telephone calls and voice assistant activation (Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant), available in both headphone and speaker modes.

Availability and Pricing

TDM plans to launch the Neo headphones via a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in January 2026. They will be available in black and white color options, priced at $249. Passive noise isolation is provided by memory foam ear cushions; active noise canceling functionality is not included.
