Overview
The FiiO Air Link (AIR LINK) is a plug-and-play Type-C Bluetooth transmitter that instantly upgrades phones, handheld game players, laptops, and more to lossless-capable wireless audio. Powered by the flagship Qualcomm QCC5181 with dual Kalimba DSPs, Air Link supports LDAC, aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive (up to 96 kHz/24-bit), aptX HD/LL, and SBC. Control it your way—via the FiiO Control app or a convenient web interface. A dedicated multi-function button handles pairing/clearing and quick codec mode switching, while RGB lighting shows connection and codec status at a glance.
