Description

GO pod Max

Wireless. Lossless.

 
 
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?
 
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. 
 
 
  • JVCKENWOOD’s K2HD Technology: K2HD breathes life into flat digital recordings by restoring rich, natural harmonics. Its advanced high-frequency extension revives overtones above 22kHz, bringing the sound closer to the original studio master.
  • Hi-Fi Circuitry with Auto Impedance Matching: GO pod Max features Hi-Fi-grade circuitry, with separate, individually optimised stages for Bluetooth, DAC, and amplification. It automatically detects the impedance of your IEMs and adjusts the output to match. 
  • CD-Quality Lossless and Low-Latency Codecs: GO pod Max can receive CD-quality audio over Bluetooth, delivering performance comparable to a wired DAC. It also supports low-latency codecs for seamless gaming and video playback. 
  • UVC Case Lights for IEM Sterilisation: Four built-in UV lights sterilise your IEMs between uses, helping reduce harmful bacteria that can build up over time.
 
 
Lose Less 
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 aptX Lossless 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 aptX Adaptive are available.
 
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.
 
K2HD Technology 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

Made for Multitasking
The GO pod Max retains the same productivity-enhancing features that made the original a fan favourite.
 
Discreet, intuitive touch controls 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 ensure your voice cuts through the chaos, delivering clearer call clarity.
 
And when the workday winds down, IPX5 water resistance 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 aluminium shell top exudes the same prestige and refinement found in the new pods, while an expanded interior now accommodates even larger IEMs with ease.
 
Inside, four high-intensity UV lights 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.
 
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.

  • GO pod Max Unit L + R
  • Charging Case
  • Ear Loops (0.78 mm 2-Pin)
  • Ear Loops (MMCX)
  • USB Charging cable
