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.
Key Features
In addition to Bluetooth processing, Qualcomm’s QCC5144 chipset can be configured to perform digital-to-analogue conversion and headphone amplification too – but this is not the iFi way. The sonic benefits of separate, individually optimised DAC and amp stages are far more valuable to us than the savings made by one-chip-does-all solutions.
To that end, the GO pod incorporates two Cirrus Logic MasterHIFI chips – one in the left pod, the other in the right. This 32-bit hi-res DAC chip is dedicated to single-channel digital-to-analogue signal conversion in the GO pod’s circuit design, combining with a jitter-eradicating precision clock to deliver ultra-low distortion and high dynamic range – one of the key reasons why the GO pod unlocks better sound quality than true wireless earbuds.
The GO pod is compatible with an impressive array of high-definition Bluetooth formats. LDACTM and LHDC (HWA) are both supported to their maximum
32-bit/96kHz specifications, with LDACTM’s highest 990kbps bitrate available to users of Android devices that support Snapdragon Sound (660kbps with other LDACTM-enabled devices).

Delivering a balanced output signal to each connected earpiece, the GO pod’s amp stage has been carefully deigned to ensure ultra-low distortion and a silent background with high-sensitivity IEMs. With a maximum power output of 120mW into 32 ohms, and an output voltage of 4V into high-impedance 300-ohm loads, each GO pod supplies plenty of gas to drive any connected IEM with consummate ease, without rapidly draining the internal battery.
To ensure its output perfectly matches the connected IEM, each pod auto-detects the IEM’s impedance and adjusts power accordingly. There are four settings – 16 ohms, 32 ohms, 64 ohms and 300 ohms – with the setting most appropriate to the connected IEM selected automatically.
A built-in microphone utilises Qualcomm’s cVc noise suppression technology for excellent voice clarity, whether you’re making a hands-free phone call, chatting on a video call, speaking to the connected device’s voice assistant or even playing a game online.
The aluminium panel on the front of each pod works as a touch control; simply tap to play or pause audio, skip forward or back, answer or reject a phone call, or engage the connected device’s voice assistant.
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.
A product made to stand out
The GO pod continues an uncompromising approach, including certification for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Sound platform and Bluetooth 5.2 for optimum range, speed and reliability.
The GO pod is compatible with an impressive array of high-definition Bluetooth formats. LDAC and LHDC (HWA) are both supported to their maximum
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.
We use discrete, high-grade components in all our circuit designs, and the same is true of the GO pod.
The GO pod has an IPX5 water resistance rating

Frequently Asked Questions
These are the most frequently asked questions about this product. For more product information please contact us through Contact
Does the GO pod have a built-in microphone?
Yes, it has built-in mic for hands-free calls when paired with your smartphone.
What does the LED for Battery status on the charging box mean?
LED > Status
4/4 > 75%
3/4 > 50%
2/4 > 25%
1/4 ≤ 25%
*Battery LED will ash when it is charging and will go out when it is fully charged
How do I pair with my Bluetooth?
When removed from the charging case, GO pod LED blinks blue as it automatically searches for a previously paired device. If a stored device is not found, it then automatically enters pairing mode with LED blinking blue and red.
To enter pairing mode manually, Press the left and right touch area together for ≥ 2s until LED ashes red / blue.
How many paired Bluetooth device(s) can the GO pod store?
The GO pod is able to store up to 8 paired Bluetooth devices. Manual reconnection may still be necessary.
