iFi GO pod
Transform your favourite IEMs into True Wireless Earbuds.
A true game-changer, our GO pods combine quality and convenience in a single elegant package, with a dedicated DAC chip, Hi-Res Bluetooth codecs and compatibility with almost every IEM imaginable.
GO wireless. GO pod.
Using a pair of GO pods is simple. First, detach the cable from your favourite IEMs and connect the earpieces to the left and right pods. Then, pair the pods with your source device (a smartphone, for example) and hook the ergonomically designed ear loops around your ears to ensure a comfortable fit… the result is unrivalled TWS (True Wireless Stereo) headphone sound.
Charge
The GO pod includes a well-designed charging case with soft-lined compartments for IEMs and pods. Its 1500mAh battery offers up to 7 hours of playback per charge, with the case providing multiple recharges for a total of 35 hours. The case supports both Qi wireless and USB-C fast charging
Distinctly different
True wireless earbuds rely on the SoC (System on a Chip) solution to integrate the requisite tech into a tiny space. The GO pod is distinctly different. Each critical stage is designed separately and optimised individually to ensure excellent sound quality -Bluetooth, DAC and amplification.
Connectors abound
IEM manufacturers use a variety of connection types, but whichever is used by your favourite brand iFi has it covered. The GO pod’s detachable ear loop contains the IEM connector, and these are interchangeable.
The standard GO pod package contains the 0.78mm 2pin and MMCX connectors.
Pentaconn, T2 and A2DC connectors are available separately.
Hi-res Bluetooth
Qualcomm’s 24-bit aptX Adaptive format is also covered, offering sample rates of up to 96kHz, with the additional benefit of QHS (Qualcomm High Speed) providing an extra 300kbps of bandwidth. Other supported codecs include regular aptX, AAC and SBC.
This means that every possible source device is handled at the highest audio resolution its Bluetooth specification allows.
Analogue Volume Control
The GO pod benefits from hardware-based analogue volume control. The GO pod doesn’t rely on the software-based volume controls in connected digital devices, which can have a deleterious effect on audio resolution. Instead, adjusting the volume on the connected device controls the volume level in the DAC, rather than in the phone, tablet or computer.
