Hands down the coolest music related tech I've ever tried!

Living in an apartment, and being a musician that runs primarily electric guitar and bass, having a way to play quietly is an absolute necessity. I've ran headphones out of small cube amps before but I still feel limited, this checks absolutely every box I could list and then some. The audio quality, being one of the most important pieces of this kit, is superb. The headphones provide pure, crisp audio and has absolutely no lag in its communication with the transmitter, I notice no difference between this and a wired setup. Now getting into the fun part of the Positive Grid Spark Neo. The vast array of tones in itself is quite impressive. But in their mobile app, the ai tool is an awesome feature. If I want to replicate the tone of a specific band I'll ask it "give me the tone of (such and such band) bass. And it'll provide 4 setups that it deems to sound similar to what you're asking, and I'm impressed by its accuracy. Or if you have a general idea in mind it'll do that too. I'll ask it "give me a snappy tone with some grunge for slap bass" and it'll do just that. I was expecting a cool way to play my favorite instruments in my apartment, but what this is, is far beyond that. It's blown me away from the audio quality, build quality and comfort, to the features and its vast customizability. If this is on your mind, just buy one!

Good for silent practice

I was really looking forward to this one. The idea of completely going wireless foe easy rehearsal anywhere was very intriguing to me. The sound quality is very good for digital, however if you're used to playing a tube amp this unit feels and sounds very sterile with no type of "feel" It will replicate the notes accurately but again no personality. I ended up going with the Boas for this application, which in my opinion sounds better.

    It's great late at night to not disturb others. I wish you could blue tooth it to an amp or PA. I have a Positive Grid Spark and you can plug it into the effects return on a tube amp but the tone is not as good as the NEO.

  • Very happy!

    Will the Spark NEO headphones work well with a digital keyboard or drums?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    Yes, the Spark NEO headphones can work well with a digital keyboard or electronic drums — but with a few caveats depending on how you're connecting them and what you're aiming to get out of them. Things to keep in mind: Impedance/sensitivity: Some digital instruments have relatively weak headphone amps. If the Spark NEOs are high-impedance (which isn’t typical, but just in case), the volume might be a bit low unless you go through a mixer or headphone amp. Cable compatibility: Make sure you have the right adapter — most keyboards and e-drum modules have 1/4" (TRS) headphone jacks. If the Spark NEOs come with only a 1/8" (3.5mm) plug, you’ll need an adapter. Not reference headphones: If you're planning to mix or produce, they might not be as flat or accurate as true studio monitors or reference headphones. If you're using them for practice, jamming, or general playback, you're good to go. Just make sure they physically connect to your instrument and the volume is sufficient.

    Can I pair two headphones together, so a bassist and guitarist could hear each other while playing?

    Unfortunately, you can't pair two Positive Grid Spark NEO Wireless Smart Guitar Headphones directly together for simultaneous jamming between a guitarist and a bassist.

    Does the spark Neo work with ultralight traveler guitar

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    Yes, the Positive Grid Spark (including Spark, Spark Mini, and Spark GO) can work with an Ultralight Traveler Guitar, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Compatibility Overview: Output jack: If your Ultralight Traveler Guitar has a standard 1/4" output jack (which most models do), you can plug it directly into the Spark amp using a regular instrument cable. Passive vs. Active pickup: If your Traveler Guitar has passive pickups, you might need to boost the input volume or gain slightly on the Spark to get a fuller tone. If it's active (has a battery), it’ll drive the signal more easily.
