iFi Audio's hotly-anticipated GO pod turns your prized wired earphones wireless! These Bluetooth adapters fill a niche to make your flagships even more convenient, and better sounding than before. Stock arrives end-July 2023.

Never has Bluetooth promised to be this flexible and high-quality. From the makers of the acclaimed GO blu comes wearable Bluetooth DAC/headphone amps that you can attach to MMCX and 2-pin IEMs – dispensing with those messy cables in the process.

And praise has been pouring in for iFi. Headfonia place GO pod on their Recommended Buys list. Headfonics found it wanting for nothing. GO pod gets highly recommended on Ear Fidelity.

And John Grandberg writes "nobody else has so far managed to execute the idea to such a high standard" on Darko.Audio. Twister6 compares them to wired sound quality. [See Product Desc. For More]

Product Description

iFi's headline act is how GO pod is the first device in the world to support Hi-Res transmission of 24/96kHz audio, with LDAC, Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive and Snapdragon Sound codecs built on the Bluetooth 5.2 standard.

That's possible with iFi separating the Bluetooth receiver, DAC and amp modules even in the featherweight, space-limited GO pods.

Qualcomm’s top-tier QCC5144 receiver maxes out Bluetooth quality, and that data stream gets sent to a separate Cirrus Logic CS43131 DAC for no-compromise decoding.

It's not just about the GO pod's fidelity, but also its ability to deliver that signal as pristinely as possible into IEM impedances that have been steadily dropping.

Despite its miniature battery power supply, this iFi is rated into loads as low as 16ohms – right after USB DAC/amp dongles, GO pod is the very next credible DAP replacement.

Indeed, Bluetooth just got serious. Naturally you'd want to get these attached to as many as your prized IEMs as possible.

And in addition to stock MMCX and 2-pin attachments, Pentaconn Ear, T2 IPX and A2DC GO pod connectors are sold separately.

Even GO pod's charging case reeks of iFi's attention to detail. With each storage compartment roomy enough to accommodate the largest CIEMs, there's also a 1,500mAh battery that's large enough to offer up to 35 hours of play time.

Best true wireless adapter listening experience

I've had a positive experience with the Ifi GO pod, particularly in terms of audio quality when using sensitive IEMs like the Andromeda 2020, compared to other true wireless adapters like the UTWS 5 and TRN BT30. However, a minor issue I've encountered with the Ifi GO pod is the exceptionally tight MMCX connector. I'm uncertain about how long my IEMs will be "jailed" with the Ifi GO pod.
