Positive Grid has announced its latest innovation, the Spark NEO, an AI-powered wireless guitar rig system designed for guitarists seeking a convenient and high-quality practice solution. The Spark NEO combines the company’s acclaimed “smart amp technology” found in its popular Spark amps with the freedom of a true wireless experience, all within a headphone format.
Spark NEO
The Spark NEO headphones pack an impressive array of 33 amps and 43 effects, offering guitarists a comprehensive rig at their fingertips.
Positive Grid emphasizes the rich, detailed, and balanced sound delivered by the Spark NEO, resulting from a meticulously designed system that spans from the Spark app to the custom-engineered drivers.

Custom Drivers
Leveraging the established Spark ecosystem, which has been in development for years, users can expect a vast selection of amp and effect models within the accompanying app.
The headphones feature custom-engineered 40mm drivers utilizing advanced bio-fiber diaphragms. While comfort and sound quality remain to be fully assessed through hands-on experience, Positive Grid’s track record with Spark products suggests a high standard of audio performance.
Cable Free
The Spark NEO offers both wireless and wired connectivity options. A 2.4GHz wireless system allows for cable-free playing by simply plugging in the transmitter.
Positive Grid claims a highly responsive connection, indistinguishable from a traditional wired setup, and notes its compatibility with electric, acoustic, and bass guitars.
Instant pairing further streamlines the playing experience. For those preferring a conventional setup, the Spark NEO also includes a standard 1/4″ input for a guitar cable. Additionally, the headphones can function as regular Bluetooth headphones for music listening.
Control of the Spark NEO is facilitated through a combination of on-device controls (Volume, Preset, Power, and Wireless On/Off) and the Spark app, which provides in-depth tone-shaping capabilities for amps and effects.
The Spark NEO promises to be perfect for guitarists looking for a portable, powerful practice solution.
