Positive Grid Launches Spark NEO Wireless Guitar Rig Built Into A Pair Of Headphones

Positive Grid has announced the launch of Spark NEO, a wireless guitar rig that’s built directly into a pair of over-ear headphones. Designed to deliver a personal audio experience, Spark NEO includes Positive Grid’s award-winning guitar amp technology with a pair of true wireless Bluetooth headphones so you can practise in private.

Spark NEO headphones have all the usual audio capabilities as well as AI-powered guitar tone customization. The headphones provide a private and convenient way to stream audio over Bluetooth while playing guitar.

Using custom-designed 40mm drivers and an ultra-lightweight bio-fiber diaphragm, the Spark NEO delivers a balanced sound to suit most styles of music. For guitarists, it offers advanced tone-shaping tools, giving the freedom to play anywhere without disturbing others.

The included wireless transmitter instantly pairs any guitar with the Spark NEO headphones, while a built-in 1/4″ input can also support traditional guitar cables for those who don’t want to go wireless.

There are four onboard and customizable guitar presets. Spark NEO makes it possible to play anywhere and be free from space limitations or noise constraints. When connecting to the free Spark app, users can unlock additional presets, amplifiers, effects, as well as advanced tone controls.

To ensure the headphones are easy to wear, ultra-soft and durable ear cups, along with advanced damping materials, tuned venting and precise port adjustments, provide a high level of passive noise isolation. This makes it easier to hear the music without being disturbed by unwanted sounds. Users can jam along to backing tracks or a favorite song without disturbing others.

Spark NEO creates a bridge between a traditional guitar and modern wireless technology. Unlike using generic headphones with a guitar amp, Spark NEO has extras available via the Spark App. This app extends the capabilities of Spark NEO by providing access to 33 amplifiers and 43 effects. Users can also access more than 100,000 tones on Positive Grid’s online ToneCloud.

Auto Chords helps players learn and jam to any song by displaying the chords in real time as the song plays. Customizable presets provide more creative possibilities when playing along with backing tracks or favorite songs.

Pricing and Availability:

Positive Grid’s Spark NEO will be available soon from Positive Grid’s website, Amazon and select retailers. The price will be $199 / £189 / €239 and includes headphones, wireless transmitter and full access to the Spark app.
