Strong debut of a new brand: TDM Neo presented at CES 2026 — headphones that turn into a Bluetooth speaker
At the CES 2026 exhibition, a new audio brand TDM (Tomorrow Doesn’t Matter) made its debut, presenting its unusual development that attracted a lot of attention. The public was shown the hybrid TDM Neo headphones, which can transform into a compact Bluetooth speaker — the device combines two listening formats and offers functionality that no manufacturer had previously.
What is known
The main feature of Neo is the flexible headband, allowing you to wrap the headphones around the cups. In this position, external speakers are activated, and the device works as a portable speaker. In normal mode, internal 40-mm drivers are used, and switching between formats occurs automatically when folding the structure or pressing a button.
Inside there are four speakers: two directed inward for headphone mode and two outward for speaker mode. The operating time is impressive: up to 200 hours in headphone mode and about 10 hours in speaker mode. Two replaceable 1500 mAh batteries provide autonomy, which is rare for modern wireless models.
Bluetooth 6 is used for connection, with support for Multipoint and Auracast, and a 3.5-mm audio jack is also provided.
TDM Neo does not have an active noise cancellation feature, but the idea of the device is so interesting and promising that users may well forgive this shortcoming, which can be addressed in future models.
TDM plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter in January. The price of the TDM Neo headphones-speaker is $249.
