Portable Potential

Ultra-compact and portable, the UP Play Max fits seamlessly and discreetly with mobile and desktop devices. Use its built-in mic to take calls or chat in-game, lose yourself in natural-sounding audio enhanced by K2 technology, and connect a second pair of headphones to share the moment.

With codecs including LDAC for high-resolution music, aptX Lossless for CD quality audio, and low-latency mode for lag-free gaming and TV audio, the UP Play Max is an all-in-one solution for wireless listening. 

An Instant Upgrade

High-quality Bluetooth headphones and earbuds are widely available, but taking full advantage of them isn’t always easy. Most Android phones support the LDAC codec, but other codecs vary, and brands often ally with specific codec developers, limiting compatibility for any one device.

With the UP Play Max, you never have to pick a side, a single plug-and-play dongle instantly upgrades your phone’s capabilities, giving you a full range of high-quality codecs so you never have to think about compatibility again. The UP Play Max goes even further, with CD quality lossless Bluetooth offering the ultimate wireless listening experience.

Enhanced for Apple

Where the UP Play Max enhances performance and compatibility for Android devices, the experience on iOS devices is nothing less than transformative. Typically limited by Apple’s AAC codec, the UP Play Max unlock a new world of Bluetooth performance for Apple users. The UP Play triples the level of detail in audio sent from Apple devices, while aptX Lossless in the UP Play Max opens the door to up to four times the detail in CD quality audio from services such as Apple Music, Spotify Lossless, Qobuz, and others.

Harmonics, Restored

Digital masters often lack the warmth and richness of their analog counterparts, leaving you with sound that’s cold and harsh. K2HD Technology restores those missing high frequencies, bringing back natural harmonics and capturing the essence of the original master. With the UP Play Max, you can enjoy restored, high-quality sound from your CD quality library, no matter where your journey takes you. Simply access and activate via the UP Play Max’s integrated page on the iFi Nexis app, and get ready to hear what the artist and engineers intended.

Play Together

Putting on a pair of headphones and losing yourself in your favourite music is a powerful experience, but what if we could share those moments with someone close? The UP Play Max enables you to do just that. Connect simultaneously and seamlessly to two pairs of headphones or earbuds using the SBC codec, without the struggle of syncing screens or compromised sound. Simply connect, press play, and get lost together in the joy of sharing your favorite music and movies.

Game On

Bluetooth audio is convenient, but usually comes with latency, which breaks immersion in TV and movies, and can instantly cripple a gaming session. Fortunately, the UP Play Max have the answer. With its built in low-latency mode, accessible via the aptX Adaptive codec and activated via the iFi Nexis app, sound and vision are kept perfectly in sync. With the UP Play Max, you can keep your gaming edge and never miss a beat.

Crystal Clear Calls

Equipped with a microphone at the base, the UP Play Max facilitates crystal-clear phone calls, further enhanced by built-in noise and echo suppression technology from Qualcomm. This enables you to speak hands-free while you head to your next destination. Whether it’s an urgent business call or in-game chat with friends, the UP Play max will cut through noise and ensure your voice is heard.
