Win! A fine GO blu headphone amplifier.
THIS MONTH, multi-award-winning British audio brand iFi is giving MOJO readers a chance to win its brilliant new pocket-size headphone amplifier, the GO blu.

It connects to your smartphone, tablet or laptop via High-Definition Bluetooth, supporting all the latest Bluetooth audio formats to ensure that whichever phone you use you get the best possible performance. With balanced amp circuitry delivering captivating power and purity, just combine the GO blu with your favourite corded headphones or in-ear monitors and revel in a glorious cathedral of sound!
