Ditch the Cable. Keep the Fidelity
Turn your favourite wired in-ear monitors into a true wireless setup with the iFi GO pod Air (GPA). Simply unplug the cable from your IEMs, connect the matching ear hooks and pair them with your phone. You can keep the earphones and ear tips you already love, along with their familiar sound and fit.
Each ear hook has its own Cirrus Logic DAC and balanced headphone amplifier. The DAC converts the digital audio signal, and the amplifier drives your IEM. With a compatible source device, GO pod Air also supports high-resolution Bluetooth audio through LDAC and LHDC.
Key Features
1. Interchangeable ear hooks.—Includes 0.78 mm 2-pin and MMCX ear hooks. Estron T2, Audio-Technica A2DC, and Pentaconn Ear options are available separately. IEMs are sold separately.
2. High-resolution Bluetooth audio—Supports LDAC, LHDC/HWA, aptX Adaptive, aptX, AAC and SBC. LDAC can reach up to 990 kbps with a compatible device and settings.
3. A dedicated DAC and balanced amplifier on each side—Rated output is at least 57 mW into 16 Ω, and 30 mW into 64 Ω.
4. Automatic impedance matching—Connect your IEMs and briefly return the ear hooks to the charging case. GO pod Air automatically selects from 16, 32 or 64 Ω.
5. Lightweight and splash-resistant—Each pod weighs approximately 10 g and is rated IPX5. Enjoy up to 7 hours of playback per charge and up to 15 hours in total with the USB-C charging case.
6. Touch controls and built-in microphones—Control playback, volume, and calls, or activate your phone’s voice assistant. Qualcomm cVc helps reduce background noise on calls, and the touch controls can be disabled to prevent accidental taps.
GO pod Air and AirPods Pro 3
At their regular prices in Taiwan, GO pod Air is NT$7,680 and AirPods Pro 3 is NT$7,490, a difference of NT$190. If you already own a pair of wired IEMs you enjoy, GO pod Air lets you keep that setup and use LDAC or LHDC with a compatible device. AirPods Pro 3 do not offer these codecs for standard Bluetooth playback from a phone.
When paired directly with an iPhone, **GO pod Air uses AAC**. Its dedicated DACs and balanced amplifiers still drive your IEMs.
