Manufacturer's Description — ifi Audio

Wireless. Lossless.

Encased in precision-machined aluminium, the GO pod Max combines lossless Bluetooth, K2HDTechnology, and built-in UV sterilisation to deliver the most advanced wireless IEM experience available to date.


Go Further.

Going wireless has always been a battle of compromise – sound quality versus convenience. For those unwilling to sacrifice audio performance, high-end IEMs have become the “middle ground” – more portable than over-ears, yet still tethered by a tangle of cables and reliant on an external DAC. 


What if you didn’t have to compromise anymore? 


Meet the GO pod Max – the most advanced wearable DAC/Amp to date, designed to liberate your IEMs from their cables with no compromise on sonic performance.* 


*When streaming CD-Quality audio via aptX Lossless.


Lose Less with Lossless.

Bluetooth carries a long-running stigma for audio enthusiasts, due to the heavy data compression of standard codecs. At iFi audio, we’ve embraced this as an opportunity for innovation.


Each pod features a flagship QCC5181 chipset, capable of receiving CD-quality audio completely cable-free with zero data loss when using the aptXLossless codec. For the listener, this means no sonic trade-offs, despite being wireless. aptX Lossless offers up to four times the bandwidth of standard Bluetooth, delivering remarkable clarity, exceptional fidelity, and a truly immersive listening experience.


And if your source device doesn’t support lossless Bluetooth yet, other high-quality codecs, including LDAC and aptXAdaptive are available.


Now is the perfect time to upgrade.

Healing Harmonics with K2HD.

While "CD-quality" is often seen as the standard for digital audio, many original recordings are captured at higher resolutions. Reducing them to CD-quality can cut resolution by 256 times. Frequencies above 22kHz - and the harmonics vital to a natural, emotional sound - are lost, leaving music flat and lifeless.


K2HDTechnology brings the magic back.


Using new K2 parameters reconfigured by JVCKENWOOD for iFi, we tailor the K2HD experience to each device. In the GO pod Max, K2HD restores digital throughput to 96kHz, creating space for what once was lost.


K2HD interpolates the lost data, restoring natural-sounding harmonics and reviving the depth, warmth, and soul of the original performance.


"K2 Technology" and "K2HD" are trademarks or registered trademarks of JVCKENWOOD Corporation.


Made for Multitasking.

The GO pod Max retains the same productivity-enhancing features that made the original a fan favourite. 


Discreet, intuitivetouchcontrols on each pod let you manage music, take calls, adjust volume, or activate voice assistants such as Siri or Gemini with a simple tap – ideal for moments when your hands are full or you're on the move. 


When business calls, dual microphones combined with Qualcomm’s cVc noise suppression work to focus on your voice, helping calls sound clearer when commuting.


And when the workday winds down, IPX5waterresistance ensures your IEMs can go wherever you do – from sudden downpours to high-intensity workouts, the GO pod Max is ready when you are. 


Glow and Behold.

We haven’t just pushed the pods to the Max – the charging case has been reimagined to match. 


Its precision-machined aluminiumshell top exudes the same prestige and refinement found in the new pods, while an expanded interior now accommodates even larger IEMs with ease. 


Inside, fourhigh-intensityUVlights sterilise your earphones between uses – helping to keep them clean, fresh, and performing at their best. 


A DAC that Adapts to You.

First are the interchangeable ear loops, now softer and more comfortable than ever. 2-pin and MMCX ear loops are included to cover the majority of users, but T2PentaconnEar, and A2DP ear loops are available for those with a more exotic taste in IEMs.


Second is our Auto Impedance Matching. By simply placing your pods in the case with your IEMs attached, the GO pod circuitry will detect the IEMs’ impedance level and intelligently adjust to one of four settings: 16 ohms, 32 ohms, 64 ohms, and even 300 ohms for owners of the highest impedance IEMs available
