- IFI UP Travel connects wireless headphones to flight entertainment
- Also following audio on Bluetooth audio systems to the car
- $ 99 / £ 99 / € 99 (about $ 205 in)
IFI’s new trip solves two common problems for travelers: using your wireless headphones with flight entertainment that have been made for wired connections and streaming music to entertainment in the car and other audio systems that do not make Bluetooth audio.
The UP trip is a bidirectional Bluetooth adapter that you can use to broadcast flight systems to your headphones, or from your phone to a vehicle or audio product port.
The device allows you to combine and listen to two sets of headphones at a time, although its battery is good for 10 hours, so that it might not cross the longest flights.
He has a microphone with noise and echo deletion for clear calls when you are back on the ground, because why not.
IFI The friendly sky
The UP trip is not only a wireless dongle. It is also an appropriate DAC. Instead of ensuring that the Bluetooth chipset manages wireless and the audio too, the Bluetooth module focuses only on transmission and reception while audio conversion is managed by an Cirrus Logic Masterhifi DAC and the tailor -made IFI capture circuits, as in the largest portable coves of IFI in the largest.
The codecs supported cover all the essential elements (although availability depends on your device and what it supports), including Aptx Adaptive, Aptx HD, Aptx Low Laine, LDAC, SBC, AAC and LHDC / HWA. And in a nice touch, you can change codecs, so for example, you may want the highest quality possible to listen to music, but go to something with a lower latency to stay synchronized with the film in flight.
The IFI UP trip is $ 99 / £ 99 / € 99 (around $ 205 at).
IFI also launched a second product focused on travel, the Pod Air IFI Go. It is designed for audiophiles who do not want to abandon their cable IEM but who need the convenience of listening without cable. It transmits up to 24 bits / 96 kHz and supports all high quality codec keys.
He also has integrated microphones, for calls. The GO Pod Air costs $ 249 / £ 249 / € 249 (around $ 515 in).
