Overview

  • TDM unveiled the Neo Hybrid at CES 2026, a headset that physically twists or rolls into a palm‑sized Bluetooth speaker.
  • Each earcup houses two 40mm drivers facing inward and outward, switching automatically when transformed.
  • Connectivity includes Bluetooth 6 with multipoint and Auracast, a 3.5mm jack, and a built-in microphone, though there is no active noise cancellation.
  • TDM claims dual replaceable 1,500mAh batteries deliver up to 200 hours in headphone mode, 10 hours in speaker mode, and about eight hours from a five‑minute USB‑C fast charge.
  • The device is priced at $249 in black or white, is slated to launch on Kickstarter later this month, and has already earned a Best of CES 2026 nod from Android Headlines, with independent testing still pending.
