I just got pair of these in the mail today. I picked up an open box deal plus a $97 credit I had at Audio46 so I go them for about $270 post tax.

Im not a big IEM user. I only use them strictly on the go but lately I find myself tired of cables + GO bar. Im constantly using my phone so the small USB cable gets annoying plus I always manage to slam my GO bar against something like my beer glass at the... bar.

So far only own 3 IEMs (Timeless OG/AE, Tin P1 Max) that I purchased purely on recommendation and price as I don't feel comfortable carrying around super expensive IEMs.
I realize perhaps the funds could've gone to better IEMs but Im not sure where to go from here or if its even worth it considering my use case.

Either way; Im digging the functionality of the GO pod so far and looking forward to taking them around bar hopping.

Thanks for your support! We appreciate it!

Looking forward to hearing about your experiences, and how they work out for your use case.

Cheers!!

I upgraded the cable, the sound has really changed significantly, the soundstage is better, the midrange is sweeter and the detail is much better. Thanks Ifi

Damn that looks awesome. Do you have a link for those or did you make them?

Will there be any EQ or ifi xbass xstage implemented in the app?

I realize this may not be the appropriate forum but I am trying to get iFi's attention. There is no telephone number to reach their Virginia service center. This regards Go Pods ticket #243164. The repaired item is being shipped to my former address in California not my current address in Minnesota. Fed Ex needs to divert the package to my current address before it is delivered tomorrow but won't do it unless iFi directs them. I've been communicating with Jesse within the ticket but have not received confirmation that the shipping address is being changed.

Just double-checking on this post, as I was away, but has it been sorted out for you?

Please let me know if more assistance is needed.

Cheers!!

Apparently the Virginia service center was closed on Monday. So the shipment was delivered to the wrong address yesterday since Fed Ex was not contacted. I've been told in my ticket chat they are working on getting me a replacement so it seems under control for now. I will consider the issue resolved once the replacement is shipped.

I am also interested in @devilneversmile's cable as to whether that is something that can be purchased. Having a short cable between the IEM and the go pod might reduce the maximum volume problem that occurs when the go pod gets sweat on it.

Go Pod Change Log: BT=V1.54 >> V1.59

1. Resolved aptX Adaptive Playback Noise Issue
Fixed issue where some devices (e.g., Xiaomi K60) experienced noise with aptX Adaptive playback after reconnecting once the Codec was set in Gaia.

2. Improved Connection Stability Between Left and Right Earbuds
Optimized to prevent occasional disconnection between left and right earbuds during upgrades or regular use (indicated by red and green flashing).

3. Enhanced Output Stability for Single Earbud
Addressed issue where a single earbud would occasionally lose output. Switching to the next track or reconnecting Bluetooth now restores functionality.

4. Battery Display Optimization
Improved battery display to address rapid battery drain when power is low.

5. Performance Enhancements and Bug Fixes
General optimizations and minor bug fixes to improve overall performance.

@iFi audio Personally I'd like to have an option to disable BT codec change voice announcements. In my setup codec sample rate is automatically adjusted for source content sample rate on each track and Go Pod is treating it as a codec change that calls for an announcement. Can get quite annoying when you're listening to playlists with diverse mix of sample rates etc.
