  • Big Features in a Small Device. Love it!
This is a marvelous little amplifier, with some terrific bonus features. I initially bought this only to use my audiophile Ananda planar headphones untethered with my phone (I typically used the HiFiman headphones wired to my Denon system or desktop DAC connected to my computer) but it has proved incredibly versatile. The sound quality through Bluetooth really surprised me, with a wide default soundstage and crisp, detailed instrumentation; it compares quite favorably to the sound when the GO blu is connected directly to my laptop via USB-C (dual input, another bonus!). The direct connection is brilliant but, honestly, I'm so pleased with the Bluetooth sound that I sometimes connect it to my main computer so I can wander around the house while listening to my full music collection. There are an array of easily accessible options too; "Xspace" provides an even more expansive feel and there's an "Xbass" booster of course, or you can combine both, while the default flat settings should please purists. In addition, there are balanced and unbalanced cable outputs and stellar battery life. One of my favorite features turns out to be the microphone; the ability to use voice control and take calls while tethered to my Ananda Headphones is not something I expected. And Friends and family say call quality is great. The real surprise is that all these features are packed into a truly tiny, lightweight device. Obviously lossless audio files are ideal when listening through amps and headphones like these, but the GO blu even manages to improve the sound of old mp3s. My only complaint is not with the GO blu itself but with the clip on their protective case which I purchased separately; the case may offer protection, but the clip does not hold or grip very well (it's too short and fits only very narrow belts while also tending to slide off or flip along the edge of pockets, owing perhaps to a weak spring). However, the GO blu is so small and portable, it is easy to just throw it in a pocket and forget about it. Even with the small caveat about the case, the GO blu is a remarkably convenient bit of kit that fills multiple needs and fills them well - I'd recommend this little gadget to anyone looking to improve their digital audio listening. ... show more

  • Update: 2 units bad
Update 7.26.22 I didn't buy the original Go Blu through Amazon and the first review was written on the one I bought through another vendor. I bought a second unit, delivered April 7 through Amazon, and it has developed the same issues as the first one. In both cases, the time it will work starts deteriorating and a gap starts to form in the housing of the unit. The worse it gets, the wider the gap. The first unit went from 12-14 hours use down to about 10 minutes. It became a $200 paperweight. I bought the second unit through Amazon and after 3.5 months it is also starting to go bad. As you see in the photo, the first unit has a wider gap and is totally useless now. The second unit started going bad a few days ago but as I have been through this before I called Amazon and they took care of it. Lesson learned: always buy Amazon! I am sending the second unit back to ifi finally just to see if they will actually fix or replace the unit. I will report back here either way. Regardless, there are significant quality control issues with this unit that need to be resolved and anyone shelling out $200 should know about this ahead of time. Once is a fluke. Twice is the beginning of a pattern. Original review: I don't believe in blended reviews so I am giving this 5 stars overall and then breaking it down. Performance: 5 Stars I used this unit with HiFi Man Sundara headphones and the setup is a musical dream. I can honestly say it is the most I've enjoyed music since college with the benefit of being able to go anywhere via bluetooth. If you aren't aware of the Sundara cans I can't recommend them highly enough. Support: 0 Stars The Go Blu unit I'm reviewiong was bought through headphones.com; it went bad in less than 8 weeks. As it was outside the 30 days, headphones.com said to start a ticket with ifi, which I did. However, I was shocked to find out that I was expected to pay shipping and handling for their defective unit. When I incredulously asked them if they didn't even pay shipping to have it repaired they actually had the gall to say "they would be taking a loss if they provided shipping". Hey, what about MY loss? At best, I would be losing time, energy, the cost of shipping and handling (and in my case 20 minutes each way to the post office), with no guarantee that they would even fix the unit. After all, that might cut into their profit margin! I can honestly say that I have never had a vendor refuse to pay shipping back to the company for a defective unit within warranty. I believe this is a balanced review. Electronics are a crapshoot so it is vital to have good support if something goes wrong, right? Now that you have the whole picture you can decide if this is for you. Are you feeling lucky? ... show more

  • No clip, good audio, but a FATAL issue
A belt clip would be great. iFi is pretty much the only one not providing one. If I'm listening to YouTube on Windows, when the video ends, all my other audio stops being output into my IEMs. I have to either keep a YouTube video muted on loop, turn off the iFi, or restart the iFi to restore my other audio. This is EXTREMELY annoying. I don't notice any different when using the xBass or xSpace. The battery life is much longer than the Qudelix, the audio quality is the same, but iFi outputs much louder volume. ... show more

  • This thing is about the size of a box of Tic Tacs.
Please note that the Apple brand USB-C>Lightning cable will not work as an input for this device when using an iPhone. USB-C>USB-C on MacBook works fine. I will update when I find the solution. This device did not sound great with FiiO FH9 over bluetooth but it was able to push the cheap Apple earbuds crazy well. I do wish however that the volume "knob" had a lock because sliding it in and out of the pocket will inadvertently adjust the volume. Battery life is phenomenal for its size and the sucker charges pretty darn quick as well. ... show more
