![]() The Fonico Go, however, lets you turn the charging mode off, allowing you to keep the IEMs and case charged for longer. Many other IEMs will charge automatically, regardless of user input, which means that leaving the IEM alone in its case for a few days will inevitably wear the battery down to zero. The case lets you choose whether you want to charge the IEMs. Turning the IEMs on/off is a relatively simple process hold down the button on each IEM, and a cheerful set of chimes and beeps will inform you of the current power and battery life status. A combination of presses and holds will allow you to play/pause, volume, track skipping, enable voice commands and answer/end calls. The IEMs use the common Sub-band Coding (SBC) codec with a maximum bit rate of around 328kbps/48kHz for pairing, as opposed to the higher resolution aptX, or LDAC codecs.Įach IEM has one solid button on the outside of them. The nozzle does have a long extension off the body of the IEM compared to similar offerings from Samsung or Sennheiser, but throughout regular use, I didn’t find this to be an issue for comfort. I would confidently wear these working out without fear of damaging them too easily, and I don’t have to worry about accidental volume changes or track skipping. The fact that these can be used two rooms down from a source device without hiccups seems to back this up.īy using actual buttons (and not touch panels), and with an IPX5 certification, the IEMs look and feel rugged in hand. ![]() While I didn’t find a perfect fit with the included tips, I was able to throw some other tips onto the Fonico Go without any hassles at all, and your mileage may vary here.Įach IEM houses a single full range dynamic 6mm driver.ĭespite finding some information specifying Bluetooth 4.1, the Tivoli Audio Australia website lists these as Bluetooth 5.0, so I’m inclined to believe them. Included in the box are three different size ear tips, and two different coloured ear hooks (which are entirely optional for use). The case is charged via Micro USB, and takes only a few hours to reach its full capacity.Įach IEM has a small status LED on the underside, letting the listener know the remaining battery life, pairing status, and charging information. Upon opening the case, the battery indicator LEDs do a short introductory dance, before displaying the remaining battery level of the case itself. ![]() The case also serves as a charger offering up three additional full charges of the IEMs before requiring a power source to juice it back up again. The Fonico Go comes in a small black charging case, which holds the IEMs in place with tiny magnetic latches.

In recent years, Tivoli Audio has been pursuing a similar vision via different means, with releases such as the high-quality Model One Digital radio, which includes Wifi, Bluetooth, and a gang of other features, all wrapped up in a premium wooden finish, for only a few hundred bucks. The main focus of Tivoli Audio was to break into the premium AM/FM radio market, with products that came in at a reasonable price point. The trend started with the Apple Airpods and spread to brands such as Sennheiser, Samsung, Audio-technica and now, Tivoli Audio.Įstablished in 2000, Tivoli Audio was born in Boston, MA.
