Excited to buy one but the Go Pod is out of stock everywhere it seems and I'm not seeing them pop up on the used market. I guess that is a good sign!

Bloom Audio in New Jersey has them. So does Headphones.com.

I checked Bloom earlier today and it said Backordered but now it does not. Order placed! Thanks!

From what I understand you have the Meze Advar. How does it synergize with the GO Pod and the FiiO UTWS5? Does it play well with the GO Pod? What about that spike around the the 6 - 8 kHz region people are talking about?

Has anyone tried the Go Pod out with any Noble Audio IEMs?

I would much appreciate your thoughts on the fit and comfort of such combination.

I found the Advars too bright ultimately so am selling them. Changed to Fiio FH7 and they sound pretty good to me, a bit warmer.

I try reset my Go Pod and now it stuck on flashing red and green and no longer connect to phone. Any help would be appreciated

So about this issue, ifi support ask me to return the pair. Which I did. So you guy should be aware there is a risk that will completely broke your go pod when you try resetting it

Does this have the audio passthrough/transparency mode like the TW2 and UTWS5 so you can hear your surroundings if you want?

The TW2 has a lot nicer passthrough, but the UTWS5 has AptX adaptive which I need but the transparency kind of sucks.

Hoping this may have the best of both but I doubt it since I can't find mention of passthrough anywhere.

Hello,
Sometimes my go pod is having issues with the right touch area.
It won't work till I left them go in standby mod outside the charging case.
I'm wondering if one of the new firmware corrects that.
But I'm with android and I still cannot find the Gaia app.
I don't need no app to use my go pod but to update the firmware how can I do it without it?

No transparency mode for the Go Pod.

Good to know!

I have yet to try my Fiio FH5 but was going to this week at some point.

Cheers!!

The GAIA app for android in APK form can be found here...

On the left hand side, open then scroll down for a link to download the APK.

What I would love to see from these devices is the possibility of multiple client profiles, so that I don't have to do BT pairing again and again. I would like to use it for my meetings and listening to music on my computer and if a call arrives from the mobile phone, it should be possible to press a button and it should disconnect from the computer and connect with my mobile phone. Logitech devices, for example, support such a use case supporting multiple computers (which is also a use case for me). @iFi audio is this implementable on GO pod, that is the device keeps multiple pairing profiles stored instead of deleting the previous one with a pairing, and switches between them, for example, with a double tap?

Also, I don't expect an issue but has anyone tried it with any recent Linux distribution?

Thanks that saves me some money!

I don’t think iFi can implement these changes without increasing the price of the Go Pod by a large amount. For a Go Pod user like me all I want is for the Go Pod to have great sound quality and simple functions.

The only device I will ever use the Go Pod with is my DAP. I don’t care for multi-point connection and I have no intention to use the Go Pod for calls. If iFi implements these changes and raise the price they would lose a customer like me who is not going to pay for something where half of the functions are not useful for me.

Has anyone compared the sq of the Go pod via LDAC to the Fiio BTR7 in wireless-LDAC mode using the same iem's?
