Was really looking forward to these, but unfortunately they were a huge let down. The form factor is good, the case is a portable size. It can be finicky to get in in larger iems. In my case the Monarch Mk IV.
Regardless this product was advertised as supporting aptx HD and LDAC. For the aptxHD it never actually supported it, And iFi purposely mis-marketed it, as evidenced by their posts on head-fi. And while LDAC It works perfectly well on my phone with other products, two pairs of the gopod airs did not work - just constant cutting in and out, totally unusable.
Would not recommend this product at all.
if you are wearing at the gym, the static sensors overreact due to humidity
I have many other wireless options for IEMs, but these stand out for their comfort and lightweight design.
Connectivity is straight forward, and while the companion app is simple, it's unique with how it finds the ear hooks by scanning Bluetooth in your area. Although the connection can occasionally be spotty, it’s not frequent or severe enough to be a dealbreaker.
If the price fits into your budget, I'd recommend getting these over many others on the market.
For my use the ifi Go Pod Air is better than the original. The battery life is better. The pods themselves plus the case are smaller than the original.
Let’s start with the obvious question most people will probably have. Yes, they do make it look like you are wearing hearing aids from the 80’s. That aside, they are very comfortable. I use them when I’m doing stuff around the house and don’t want to deal with wires getting in the way. I tried several different IEMs and ended up keeping my FATfreq Deuce on them because of their fit and weight. Metal shelled IEMs add a little too much weight and start putting strain on your ears.
They sound very good, but are a little light on power. Overall I recommend giving them a try.
