Does anyone actually want these super tiny modelers?

I like the concept of these for just jamming around without hassle

Didnt realise the Diego Lopes hairstyle was catching on but I'm here for it

No stereo FX loop. But you could possibly jam with it while enjoying all the warm bubbles around you.

Yeah, depending on how well they made the wireless thing (latency, battery life, also true for the phones themselves), this could indeed be the perfect practising rig when you're not at your main space.

Positive Grid puts a powerful wireless guitar rig on your ears

Every noodler needs to practice. But waiting for others in the house to go out for the day so you can crank up the amp can be frustrating. That's where the Positive Grid Spark Neo comes in, which puts a powerful smart amp on your head.

$199 is a very good price point for something like this

Yeah, in case latency is fine (too bad manufactures *never* come up with any numbers, it's always just "super low", blargh...), this is something I will very likely get one day. 6 hours of battery life are pretty fine, too.

What I'm wondering is whether they would work as a standard USB interface once connected to a computing device via cable. That might come in very useful when you, say, have a great idea and want to quickly record it without having to set up something else but your laptop.

Re: Spark NEO
I was really, really interested in that, but there's no way to get the sounds out others than through the cans. Now, given that a) the sounds are generated inside the headphones and b) there's a USB-C socket on them anyway, what's keeping them away to slap an easy stereo I/O interface chip onto the thing? Should cost pretty much next to nothing.
But it's likely as one dude in his video says: They wan't you to also buy the Spark amp, which you could then use for recordings. But that's completely idiotic.
My use case would be to have this thing with me pretty much all the time - and as soon as I'm away from home for more than 1-2 days, I also always have my Macbook with me. But I certainly would never have a Spark amp with me, even if I owned one.
So, that's a strict no.
