IFI Audio UP Travel Hi-Res Bluetooth Transmitter and Receiver (IF0321001)

First-class sound, anywhere you travel

The iFi Audio UP Travel Hi-Res Bluetooth Transmitter and Receiver (IF0321001) is your pocket-sized way to upgrade audio on every journey. Plug it into an in-flight entertainment system or your car’s AUX input and enjoy rich, detailed wireless sound through your favourite Bluetooth headphones or speakers. With true hi-fi inspired architecture and support for up to 24-bit/96kHz audio, it turns ordinary travel audio into an immersive listening experience.

In-flight entertainment with your own Bluetooth headphones

Tired of flimsy airline headphones and cable clutter? In TX (transmit) mode, UP Travel connects directly to the aircraft’s headphone jack and streams audio wirelessly to your Bluetooth headphones or earbuds. That means you can finally enjoy movies, TV and music on the plane with the comfort, isolation and sound quality of your own gear – no adapters, no laggy seat pairing, just smooth wireless audio from takeoff to landing.

Upgrade any car stereo to hi-res Bluetooth

When you arrive, simply switch to RX (receive) mode, plug the UP Travel into your car’s 3.5mm AUX input, and turn the entire system into a modern Bluetooth receiver. Stream Spotify, Apple Music, podcasts or audiobooks straight from your phone with clearer, more dynamic sound than basic built-in Bluetooth solutions. No installation or rewiring is required – just plug in, pair, and drive.

True hi-fi architecture with Cirrus Logic MasterHIFI DAC

Unlike many simple Bluetooth adapters that rely on a single all-in-one chip, the UP Travel uses true hi-fi architecture. A dedicated Cirrus Logic MasterHIFI DAC and separate clock work alongside a Qualcomm Bluetooth chip to reduce noise and jitter and preserve detail, space and impact in your music. The result is cleaner, more natural audio that does justice to your premium headphones and speakers.

Wide codec support for music and movies

The UP Travel supports an extensive list of Bluetooth codecs, including LDAC, LHDC/HWA, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, aptX, AAC and SBC. Choose hi-res modes like LDAC or LHDC for the best sound quality, or low-latency options such as aptX Adaptive or aptX LL when watching video so audio stays perfectly in sync with the screen. A simple press-and-hold on the codec button announces your active codec, making it easy to optimize for your current device and content. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Share the experience with dual headphone pairing

Movie night at 30,000 feet? The UP Travel can simultaneously connect two Bluetooth headphones in transmit mode. You and a travel companion can both enjoy the same film or playlist, each with your own headphones and preferred fit, without wrestling with splitters or separate screens.

Crystal-clear hands-free calls

A built-in microphone with advanced noise and echo suppression technology (powered by Qualcomm) keeps your calls clear and intelligible, even in busy terminals or on the road. Take work calls, check in with family or use voice assistants while staying hands-free and wirelessly connected.

Travel-ready design and all-day battery life

Inspired by switchblade-style car keys, the UP Travel’s 3.5mm connector flips out from the body with a press of the power button, then folds back in to protect the plug when you’re done. It weighs just 25.7g and is similar in size to a USB stick, making it easy to slip into a pocket, laptop sleeve or travel pouch. The built-in 400mAh battery delivers up to 10 hours of playtime, so you can get through long flights and full days on the road without constantly recharging.

Simple control and Nexis app support

Physical controls on the device make it quick to power on, pair, change modes and adjust settings without diving into menus on your phone. For additional customization and future firmware updates, the UP Travel works with the iFi Nexis mobile app, available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. This keeps your device current and lets you unlock extra features over time.
