Hi-Fi That Fits In.
The GO blu Air is a Bluetooth DAC made for everyday life. It slips into your routine like second nature – easy to carry, simple to use, and always ready for your latest playlist.
Determined to change the narrative around Bluetooth audio, iFi incorporate their signature triple-stage Bluetooth architecture, based around Bluetooth 5.2 for improved signal stability and lower power consumption on the go.
The GO blu Air is purpose-built for life in motion. A new detachable magnetic clip is integrated directly into the chassis, allowing secure attachment to a bag, jacket, or belt without any bulky accessories or clunky workarounds – whilst still ensuring it fits the classic GO blu protection case.
Where most Bluetooth products rely on a single chipset for the critical tasks of reception, digital-to-analogue conversion, and amplification, the GO blu Air separates them, inspired by the stage-by-stage design of full-size hi-fi systems. Its Qualcomm QCC5144 chipset is used solely for Bluetooth reception – the task it performs best. From there, audio is passed to a Hi-Res Cirrus Logic MasterHIFI DAC, hand-picked for its natural tonality, low power consumption, and high-resolution output. A twin-mono amplifier stage completes the path, delivering up to 256mW of clean, distortion-free power to drive your favourite over-ears, while the 3.5mm output includes iFi’s S-Balanced technology to reduce crosstalk for IEMs.
Music is personal, and the GO blu Air is designed to reflect this. Alongside delivering exceptionally expressive sound, it gives listeners the freedom to shape the experience to match their mood, music, or headphones, instantly and directly from the device. Engage XBass to reinforce the low-end - perfect for open-back headphones that lack subbass, or just to add warmth and punch to your favourite tracks. Want a wider, more immersive soundstage? Activate XSpace to open up the listening experience and recreate the feel of a live performance.
A detachable magnetic clip is seamlessly integrated into the chassis, letting you securely fasten the GO blu Air to your belt, bag, or jacket – no aftermarket case needed.
A built-in MEMS microphone with Qualcomm’s noise and echo suppression enables clear hands-free calls, in-game voice chat, and instant access to your device’s voice assistant.
All from a device that fits in your shirt pocket and weighs just 30 grams.
It might be small on the outside, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts.
The GO blu Air comes packed with the kind of circuitry you’d expect from full-size systems:
