These wireless headphones roll up to become a Bluetooth speaker

"A new company called TDM, or "Tomorrow Doesn't Matter," has announced its first pair of wireless headphones at CES 2026 with a unique multifunctional design. The Neo look like a traditional pair of over-ear wireless headphones but feature an extra flexible headband that can be twisted and rolled up around the ear cups to turn them into a compact wireless speaker."

"The Neo take a different approach. A pair of 40mm drivers on the inside of the ear cups are used in headphone mode so your listening remains private. Switching to speaker mode, either by pressing a button or rolling the Neo up, turns those interior drivers off and activates a second pair of outward-facing 40mm drivers so your music can be shared."

"TDM claims impressive battery life of up to 200 hours in headphone mode, but that drops to just over 10 hours in speaker mode while those 40mm drivers are pumping out more sound. The Neo uses a pair of rechargeable 1,500mAh batteries that are user-replaceable, potentially prolonging the life of the headphones. Wireless connectivity is handled through Bluetooth 6 with multipoint and Auracast support, or you can also use a 3.5mm audio cable with older devices."

TDM launched the Neo, a pair of over-ear wireless headphones that physically convert into a compact speaker by twisting and rolling a flexible headband around the ear cups. The design uses dual 40mm driver sets: inward-facing drivers for private headphone listening and outward-facing drivers for shared speaker mode, selectable by a button or by rolling the headphones up. Battery life is rated up to 200 hours in headphone mode and about 10 hours in speaker mode, supported by two user-replaceable 1,500mAh batteries. Connectivity includes Bluetooth 6 with multipoint and Auracast, a 3.5mm input, and a built-in microphone with voice assistant support. The Neo will launch via Kickstarter in January 2026 at $249 and do not include active noise cancelling, relying on memory foam ear cushions for passive isolation.
