Let me start by saying – I’ve tried a LOT of guitar gear, but the Spark NEO blew me away. Imagine playing your guitar with zero wires, zero latency, and studio-quality sound trapped inside comfy headphones. That’s the NEO.

The Good Stuff: The wireless transmitter is witchcraft. No lag, no crackles – just pure guitar tone. The AI-powered Spark app is a treasure chest of tones (metal? jazz? funk? YES). And surprise – these double as killer Bluetooth headphones for music. Bass hits hard but stays crisp.

Real-Life Win: Late-night practice used to mean ‘angry neighbors.’ Now? I jam at 2AM with a full amp sim in my ears. Also, air-guitaring to Spotify tracks through Bluetooth? Guilty pleasure unlocked.

Not Perfect: The headband squeezes a tad tight after an hour (I’ve got a 7 1/4 hat size). Android users report occasional Bluetooth hiccups with the app – fingers crossed for updates. And no, you can’t charge while playing wired (USB-C is for updates only).

Verdict: At $200, this feels like stealing. It’s a wireless amp, practice tool, AND music headphone in one. If you play guitar – buy it before Positive Grid realizes they undercharged.
