iFi GO pod Max

Encased in precision-machined aluminium, the GO pod Max combines lossless Bluetooth, K2HD Technology, and built-in UV sterilisation to deliver the most advanced wireless IEM experience available to date.

Going wireless has always been a battle of compromise – sound quality versus convenience. For those unwilling to sacrifice audio performance, high-end IEMs have become the “middle ground” – more portable than over-ears, yet still tethered by a tangle of cables and reliant on an external DAC.

What if you didn’t have to compromise anymore?

Meet the GO pod Max – the most advanced wearable DAC/Amp to date, designed to liberate your IEMs from their cables with no compromise on sonic performance.*

Bluetooth carries a long-running stigma for audio enthusiasts, due to the heavy data compression of standard codecs. At iFi audio, we’ve embraced this as an opportunity for innovation.

Each pod features a flagship QCC5181 chipset, capable of receiving CD-quality audio completely cable-free with zero data loss when using the aptX Lossless codec. For the listener, this means no sonic trade-offs, despite being wireless. aptX Lossless offers up to four times the bandwidth of standard Bluetooth, delivering remarkable clarity, exceptional fidelity, and a truly immersive listening experience.

And if your source device doesn’t support lossless Bluetooth yet, other high-quality codecs, including LDAC and aptX Adaptive are available.

While "CD-quality" is often seen as the standard for digital audio, many original recordings are captured at higher resolutions. Reducing them to CD-quality can cut resolution by 256 times. Frequencies above 22kHz - and the harmonics vital to a natural, emotional sound - are lost, leaving music flat and lifeless.

K2HD Technology brings the magic back.

Using new K2 parameters reconfigured by JVCKENWOOD for iFi, we tailor the K2HD experience to each device. In the GO pod Max, K2HD restores digital throughput to 96kHz, creating space for what once was lost.

K2HD interpolates the lost data, restoring natural-sounding harmonics and reviving the depth, warmth, and soul of the original performance.

We haven’t just pushed the pods to the Max – the charging case has been reimagined to match.

Its precision-machined aluminium shell top exudes the same prestige and refinement found in the new pods, while an expanded interior now accommodates even larger IEMs with ease.

Inside, four high-intensity UV lights sterilise your earphones between uses – helping to keep them clean, fresh, and performing at their best.
