There’s never a shortage of weird tech debuts at CES every year. A new company called Tomorrow Doesn’t Matter, or TDM, announced a unique pair of headphones at the show earlier this month, with a feature that no one had tried before. The Neo headphones can be wrapped like a hedgehog which turns them into a compact Bluetooth speaker for those times when you want to share a real banger with those around you. They were expected to launch via Kickstarter slated for this month, but TDM now says the crowdfunding campaign will officially open on February 10, 2026.
The price of the Neo is set to be $249 when it launches in July 2026, but those who pre-order by backing Kickstarter can get a $179 discount on the headphones.
Designed to make sharing music easy, each earcup on the Neo headphones features 40mm drivers on the inside and outside. Headphone mode uses only the inward-facing drivers for a private listening experience. When they’re rolled up, the Neo automatically switches to using the outward-facing drivers for speaker-only mode, but there’s also a button to manually toggle between the two modes.
The VergeJohn Higgins got a chance to go hands-on with Neo during CES 2026. While the headphones were a bit heavy due to their batteries and the extra hardware in each earcup, he also found that rolling them up to switch between modes was “easy and fast” and “even a bit of fun.”
