Is it a bird? Is it a plane? 9 months after being revealed, that twisty pair of headphones which turns into a speaker just finally became available to buy

One of the most memorable product launches at CES 2026 in January was the TDM Neo, which was thoroughly tested by our editor back then, and now you can finally buy the gadget.

As you may be able to tell from the headline, this is a novel two-in-one audio product. It's both a pair of headphones, and a loudspeaker, with a twisting mechanic letting you switch it from one to the other (and telling the gadget which speakers to play music out of).

As of Tuesday, October 6, you can now buy the TDM Neo from a range of retailers, including Amazon, TDM's website and Walmart. It costs $249 / £249 (about AU$500) so it's not a cheap device, but bear in mind you're getting two gadgets for one.

In our initial testing, our editor was pleasantly surprised by how well the TDM Neo was thought out: it's not a gimmicky gadget, but has a few smart considerations. Stay tuned for a full review whenever we get the Neo in our hands (or on our head? About our person?).

The TDM Neo has a quartet of 40mm speakers: two of them are part of the headphone module, placed against your ears, and the other two are for the speaker, facing outwards at all times. This combination means the drivers aren't playing jacks of all trades, and can focus on their respective role. It even has multiple microphones, for calls when it headphone mode.

Is this thing a battery too?
