IFi GO Pod Air Bluetooth DAC/Amp With Hi-Res Bluetooth Compatibility (IF0309001-0027)

iFi GO pod Air Starter Kit with AIRO Astra IEMs (IF0309001-0027)

The iFi GO pod Air Starter Kit IF0309001-0027 transforms compatible IEMs into a Hi-Res Bluetooth system with wireless convenience. Additionally, the bundle includes AIRO Astra IEMs with titanium-plated drivers for smooth, natural sound. Meanwhile, Bluetooth 5.2 and balanced amplification enhance the listening experience. Unlike conventional wireless earbuds, the GO pod Air uses separate Bluetooth, DAC, and amplification stages for specialized audio processing.

GO pod Air and AIRO Astra IEMs in One Starter Kit

The iFi GO pod Air Starter Kit IF0309001-0027 includes AIRO Astra in-ear monitors, providing a complete wireless listening combination from the start. These IEMs feature titanium-plated dynamic drivers designed for smooth, natural sound and an ergonomic shell for comfortable listening.

Additionally, the AIRO Astra use a 2-pin connection for native compatibility with the GO pod Air. You can connect them directly without additional adapters, making this kit a straightforward option for anyone exploring Hi-Res Bluetooth audio.

Hi-Fi Circuitry with Dedicated Bluetooth, DAC, and Amplifier Stages

The GO pod Air takes a different approach to wireless audio by separating Bluetooth reception, digital conversion, and amplification. Each pod uses a Qualcomm QCC514x Series chipset dedicated to Bluetooth reception, followed by a Cirrus Logic MasterHIFI DAC.

From there, a balanced amplification stage processes the signal, while a dedicated clock helps coordinate the internal components. This architecture gives the iFi GO pod Air Starter Kit IF0309001-0027 circuitry inspired by high-end hi-fi systems in a lightweight, portable design.

Bluetooth 5.2 with 24-bit/96kHz Hi-Res Audio Support

Bluetooth 5.2 provides wireless connectivity alongside support for several high-resolution audio codecs. The GO pod Air supports LDAC, LHDC/HWA, aptX Adaptive, aptX, AAC, and SBC.

Want more detail from your wireless listening? LDAC and LHDC/HWA support audio capabilities up to 32-bit/96kHz, while the GO pod Air offers Hi-Res wireless playback support.

For compatible Android devices with Snapdragon Sound, LDAC supports a maximum bitrate of 990kbps. Meanwhile, other LDAC-enabled devices can stream at up to 660kbps, according to the supplied specifications.

With its range of Bluetooth codecs, the iFi GO pod Air Starter Kit IF0309001-0027 provides flexible wireless connectivity for compatible audio devices.

Balanced Amplification with Automatic Impedance Matching

Different IEMs have different electrical requirements, and the GO pod Air addresses this through intelligent impedance matching. The system supports three impedance settings: 16 ohms, 32 ohms, and 64 ohms.

Simply connect your compatible IEMs and briefly return the pods to their charging case. The system then automatically selects the appropriate impedance setting.

This feature helps the iFi GO pod Air Starter Kit IF0309001-0027 adapt its amplification to compatible IEMs without requiring manual adjustment.

Convenient Touch Controls for Music and Calls

Each GO pod Air includes a multi-function touch panel that puts everyday controls within easy reach. You can manage music playback, adjust volume, answer or reject calls, and activate your connected device's voice assistant.

Additionally, the touch controls support assistants such as Siri and Google Assistant. You can also disable touch functionality to prevent accidental track changes during walks or workouts.

These controls make the iFi GO pod Air Starter Kit IF0309001-0027 practical for both focused listening and everyday activities.

Dual Microphones with Qualcomm Noise Suppression

Each GO pod Air features a built-in microphone, giving the system two microphones for hands-free communication. Qualcomm cVc noise suppression technology helps reduce unwanted background noise during calls.

Whether you're answering a business call or joining a video conference, the microphones are designed to help keep your voice clear. Meanwhile, the integrated touch controls let you manage calls directly from the pods.

Lightweight Design for Everyday Portability

Each GO pod Air weighs just 10g and measures 47.5 x 16.1 x 9.5mm, making the pods compact enough for everyday use. The included charging case measures 94 x 94 x 45mm and provides a portable place to store and recharge them.

Furthermore, the charging case is 40% lighter and 20% smaller than the original GO pod case. This compact design makes the iFi GO pod Air Starter Kit IF0309001-0027 convenient to carry between home, work, and other daily activities.

IPX5 Water Resistance for Active Listening

The GO pod Air features an IPX5 water-resistance rating, helping protect the pods against exposure to sweat and unexpected rain.

Planning to listen during a workout or outdoor walk? The water-resistant design adds flexibility for active use, while the option to disable touch controls helps prevent unwanted playback changes.

Up to 15 Hours of Total Battery Life

The GO pod Air provides up to 7 hours of listening from the pods themselves. Additionally, the included charging case extends the total available battery life to approximately 15 hours.

Each pod contains a 180mAh battery, while the charging case uses a 580mAh battery. Together, they give the iFi GO pod Air Starter Kit IF0309001-0027 a portable power system designed for extended listening away from home.
