iFi GO blu Air: pocket Bluetooth DAC/amp to upgrade your headphones

The iFi GO blu Air is an ultra-portable Bluetooth DAC/headphone amp designed to instantly improve the sound from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop—without giving up wireless convenience. If you listen on the go and want more detail, better separation, and tighter bass control, it’s a simple upgrade you’ll notice right away.

iFi’s approach is to separate the critical stages (Bluetooth reception, conversion, and amplification) instead of relying on a single chipset for everything. In practice, that means a cleaner, more organised presentation than a typical phone output, with improved dynamics and control for both IEMs and over-ear headphones.

Bluetooth 5.2 and Hi-Res codec support

The GO blu Air uses Bluetooth 5.2 for improved stability and power efficiency, and supports a full suite of codecs including LDAC, LHDC, aptX (Classic/HD/Adaptive), AAC, and SBC. This helps ensure high-quality pairing across Android phones, iPhones, tablets, and computers.

More usable power, with a 3.5mm output built for IEMs

According to the manufacturer, the GO blu Air features a Cirrus Logic MasterHIFI DAC and a twin-mono amplifier stage, delivering up to 256 mW to drive over-ear headphones with authority. The 3.5mm output includes iFi’s S-Balanced technology, designed to help reduce crosstalk and improve IEM performance.

Quick sound shaping: XBass and XSpace

To match different headphones and moods, you get two analogue modes: XBass (bass reinforcement) and XSpace (a wider soundstage). You can enable them directly on the device—no apps, no complicated menus.

True everyday portability (plus all-day battery)

Built for daily use, the GO blu Air includes an integrated detachable magnetic clip to attach to a bag, jacket, or belt. The manufacturer also states a 31 g weight and up to 10 hours of battery life per charge, making it a practical companion for commuting, work, and travel.
