TDM Neo headphones and speakers fail to deliver good sound quality
TechRadar reviewed the TDM Neo hybrid audio device released in early 2026 and found its sound performance lacking.
Device functions as both speaker and headphone
The gadget features a twisting mechanism that allows users to switch between loudspeaker and headphone modes. It includes neat in-box extras and offers fantastic battery life alongside a decent fit when worn. However, the product does not sit flat on a table when used as a speaker.
Audio performance lacks bass and clarity
Testing revealed that the device lacks bass in speaker mode and sounds muddy when used as headphones. The audio department is identified as the primary problem area for this novel audio gadget. Rivals are described as more precise than the TDM Neo in headphone usage.
Design flaws include unstable speaker format
The upward-facing USB port on the unit seems to act as a magnet for dirt. Key features remain locked unless users create an account with the manufacturer. TechRadar suggests waiting respectfully for a version 2.0 before recommending the product.
