The Neo headphones from Tomorrow Doesn’t Matter are now on sale in the United States. The company, also known as TDM, opened sales through its own online store as well as retailers including Amazon and Walmart. The headphones are priced at $249 and come in black or white with a carrying case included. Their debut follows a showing at CES 2026 and a Kickstarter campaign that succeeded last February.
What separates the Neo from typical headphones is a flexible headband and a second set of drivers that let the product double as a Bluetooth speaker. Each ear cup holds a pair of 40mm drivers on the inside and another pair of 40mm drivers facing outward. Only the inner drivers run when the Neo are worn as normal headphones. Once the headphones are rolled up, the outward-facing drivers take over and operate as a pair of 5-watt speakers.
TDM says the Neo last more than 200 hours per charge in headphone mode. The battery and the memory foam ear cushions can both be removed and replaced. Battery life falls significantly in Bluetooth speaker mode, where the company estimates around 16 hours. That figure could stretch longer if the audio source does not support Bluetooth and is connected to the Neo through a 3.5mm audio cable instead.
The design gives users a way to share audio without passing their headphones to another person. Rather than relying on ear cups that rotate 180 degrees to send sound outward, the Neo use the dedicated outward-facing drivers to project audio when the headband is rolled.
The Verge’s John Higgins tried the Neo at CES 2026. He judged the headphones too heavy on bass and physically heavy because of the added speaker hardware, according to his impressions. He also found that they sounded good and that the design rolled up easily and was fun to use. The Neo arrive as Sony has chosen to bring back a headphone design from six years ago.
