The iFi Audio GO Pod is a premium Bluetooth system that has universal hooks for various IEM connectors. It allows you to convert your existing IEM, provided it has removable cables, to a truly wireless system with AptX Adaptive and LDAC support. Is it worth the price though?

Great stuff sir. Would love to see a video of using the different BT codec for PC gaming - as most of what is out there is outdated.

@RolandDobbins 10 месяцев назад

Shure have offered their TW2, which includes a 4-band EQ & a good transparency mode, for the last couple of tears at a $250 price point. They natively support MMCX connectors, but 2-wire adaptors work, as well.

I don't need these, but I NEED these. 😂 Awesome review!

@ErlingKildal 9 месяцев назад

Bought these and have traded them allready😅. The earhooks for me where much too stiff, and really uncomfortable. The Fiio UTWS5 are miles ahead for my earshape comfort wise, and sounds just as good for AAC, which I use. Wondering how good mic would be if your earshape would tilt bottom of Pods slightly under your ear and forward?? First ifi product that I have not loved!

When are they going to make a gaming version of something like this? I am dying to use iems for gaming wirelessly.

@oscartafurvasquez2611 10 месяцев назад

Hi Joe! Great review! Would you recommend these for gaming? Any sound delay? Mic echo? Discord issues? Thanks!

@GadgetryTech 10 месяцев назад

Hello! I pretty much advise against using any BT product purely for gaming. The latency is usually too much if you’re playing competitive games. For casual, it’s not bad if you can leverage AptX.

@alvinamana1459 6 месяцев назад

No this is made for music not games they have gaming headphones for that

@skwirl865 28 дней назад

@@alvinamana1459some of us find that IEMs outperform pretty much all gaming headsets.

@nagettt 9 месяцев назад

Hi Joe, love your reviews, can i have your insight? Looking for headphones mostly for gaming, and i have sorted it out to these three PC38X, H6 Pro, and HD 58X. What would be your pick?

@GadgetryTech 9 месяцев назад

PC38x if you need a mic. HD560s if you don’t. Thanks for the kind words btw!

@nagettt 9 месяцев назад

@@GadgetryTech So H6 Pro is out of the equation now? if i could get the H6 pro open for $50 less than pc38x is it a good deal?

@adraineholmes4566 6 месяцев назад

How are these compared to the utws5 bcus they bith have LDAC now?

@Relaxing_Ambience_Music 5 месяцев назад

the LDAC in these have better high end extension more refined sound than the Fiio UTWS5 which I too own but still I prefer the UTWS5 because of the features and i'm not that concerned with sound quality as long as they sound good Also the UTWS5 has bigger earhooks and are much more comfortable although the Go Pods loosened enough as I have been using them so they are not painted in the ears after a couple of minutes using them

@Relaxing_Ambience_Music 5 месяцев назад

Been using these again after a few months collecting dust in the shelves the ear hooks were too small but not so tight now that my esrs no longer hurt

@GadgetryTech 5 месяцев назад

Awesome! I'm glad you can finally get more use out of them.

@NotTheOnlyMattAround 10 месяцев назад

As nice as these are, for $400 I think it would still be hard to justify over getting a solid TWS set (or two). I've had both the MMCX and the 2pin FiiO UTWS5, and despite the fact they sound amazing, I just never seem to reach for them over my Bose QC 2 Earbuds for outdoor walks or my Momentum True Wireless 3 buds while walking around in the house doing chores. Even though I have some great IEMs I can connect to them, they just don't work quite as seamlessly (particularly for things like ambient mode) nor are they as comfortable. Maybe if you already have a crazy IEM collection, and no TWS. Even then, it's a tough sell for that price. There's hardly a TWS set on the market that would cost more than that.

@GadgetryTech 10 месяцев назад

Yeah I think that’s the challenge. This is definitely a niche product for those with several IEMs they love, and would like to use them wirelessly from time to time.

@ghostcreeper_ 9 месяцев назад

Hey you said you'd be getting the Maxwell ultraviolet edition. I was just wondering if you ended up getting it

@GadgetryTech 9 месяцев назад

I did!

@Amp_Edition 10 месяцев назад

At 200 or less there are some nice earbuds out there that sound really nice, you really really have to love your personal iem to buy that product. I love my sennhizer momentum TW3, sound very good and loud at 150$ smaller case, charges faster, looks better, aptx codex that sounds just as good as LDAC or maybe it's just the quality of drivers I don't know. Great EQ in the app. I do understand this is for the die hard iem guy but, man that's a steep price, ifi good luck! Thanks Joe for another great video!

@north08 9 месяцев назад

If only I could wear and enjoy IEMs … seems impossible to find a pair that fit and stay in my ears.

@danieljohnson6370 9 месяцев назад

I seem to need ginormous eartips to get any consistency. I've settled on etymotic ER series for consistency in placement. At first, the deep penetration was weird, but i quickly acclimated, and I've never had them fall out FWIW.
