TDM. The Neo is different from other headphones in that it offers a unique solution to a very simple problem, i.e., the ability to transition from personal to shared audio listening without needing an additional speaker. The twist-to-speaker feature is very handy for students, travelers, and those who share music regularly, and the 200+ hour headphone battery is definitely an advantage. Bluetooth 6.0 multipoint, physical controls, EQ customization, and replaceable components make the device even more practical. The absence of active noise cancellation is the main disadvantage of the Neo. This headset is not recommended to frequent flyers and those who need sound isolation. In general, the Neo is designed for people who prefer flexibility and long battery life over noise cancellation.
