Imagine slipping on a pair of sleek over-ear headphones, plugging in your guitar—no bulky amp, no noisy neighbors—then dialing up world-class tones with a tap. That’s the promise of Spark NEO, Positive Grid’s freshly unveiled AI‑powered wireless guitar rig, and it’s poised to reshape how guitarists practice, learn, and create.
In a world where apartment living and late‑night creativity collide, the traditional amp-and-cab setup can feel cumbersome—and downright inconsiderate. Spark NEO bridges that gap by embedding Positive Grid’s award-winning tone engine directly into premium Bluetooth headphones. With a proprietary 2.4GHz wireless transmitter, guitarists connect cable‑free, enjoying ultra‑low latency and distortion‑free signal transmission for up to 3–5 meters of freedom.
More than a practice tool, Spark NEO doubles as everyday headphones. Stream music, podcasts, or backing tracks in studio-grade clarity via Bluetooth 5.0, and switch seamlessly between guitar and audio modes without skipping a beat.
At its core, Spark NEO boasts custom‑designed 40mm drivers paired with an ultra‑lightweight bio‑fiber diaphragm, delivering a balanced, full‑range sound that faithfully recreates everything from shimmering cleans to crushing high‑gain riffs. The headphones’ precision‑tuned acoustic chambers and passive noise isolation—thanks to ultra‑soft ear cups and advanced damping materials—ensure you hear every nuance of your playing without outside distractions.
Despite packing so much tech, Spark NEO stays wearable. Its foldable design and durable build make it an ideal travel companion, whether you’re hopping between gigs or sneaking in practice at the coffee shop. And with up to 6 hours of guitar‑mode battery life (8 hours for music playback) and a transmitter that lasts 13 hours, it’s built to keep pace with even the longest sessions.
Right out of the box, Spark NEO offers four customizable on‑board presets, letting you lock in your go‑to sounds without reaching for your phone. But the real power emerges when you tap into the free Spark App (iOS/Android). There, you unlock:
- 33 amp models and 43 guitar and bass effects.
- 100,000+ user‑created tones via ToneCloud.
- AI‑Generated Tone, where you describe your dream sound—by artist, song, or gear—and the app conjures it for you.
- Auto Chords, which analyzes any backing track or song and displays its chords in real time, helping you learn and jam on the fly.
This ecosystem turns Spark NEO from a headphone‑amp hybrid into a full‑blown, endlessly expandable guitar rig—minus the weight and volume of traditional gear.
Spark NEO exemplifies a broader shift: musicians demanding more versatility and privacy from their gear. By merging headphone, amp, and app into a single, wireless package, Positive Grid is betting that the next generation of guitarists will prioritize mobility, personalization, and smart tech integration.
At $199, Spark NEO arrives at an accessible price point—bundled with headphones, transmitter, and full Spark App access—targeting players who want premium tone without premium bulk. It will be available soon on Positive Grid’s website, Amazon, and select retailers.
Whether you’re sneaking in scales at dawn, jamming in a hotel room between gigs, or craving fresh tone ideas courtesy of AI, Spark NEO stakes a bold claim: your next rig fits on your head. And in Positive Grid’s vision, that’s only the beginning.
