Fiio Air Link USB-C Bluetooth Audio Transmitter

The FiiO Air Link turns any USB-C device into a genuinely high resolution Bluetooth source. Plug this 5 gram transmitter into a phone, laptop, tablet or game console and it beams audio to your wireless headphones over aptX Lossless or LDAC, codecs most computers and many phones cannot transmit on their own.

Type and Technology

The Air Link is a USB-C Bluetooth 6.0 audio transmitter built on Qualcomm's flagship QCC5181 chip. It transmits over aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, LDAC and standard codecs, taking a clean digital USB audio feed directly from the source so nothing is lost before the wireless hop.

Sound Character

As a pure digital transmitter, the Air Link's job is transparency. With an aptX Lossless capable earphone it delivers CD quality audio with no perceptible loss, while LDAC at up to 96kHz serves Sony and other high resolution wireless gear. Latency of roughly 50ms in low latency modes keeps games and movies in sync.

Build and Features

A multi color LED ring shows connection status and the active codec at a glance, and a single button handles pairing and codec switching. Bluetooth multipoint lets it feed two devices, range exceeds 50m in open space, and a second USB-C port provides passthrough charging so your phone can top up while you listen. An included adapter covers USB-A sources.

Best For

Gamers, desktop listeners and travelers who want the best possible wireless signal into TWS earbuds or Bluetooth headphones, especially from consoles, PCs and iPhones. Pair it with a receiver like the FiiO BTR17 for a full high resolution wireless chain, and browse more in the FiiO collection and portable DAC/Amps collection.
