What reviewers say
Reviewers praise the styling, straightforward pairing and reliable wireless connection, but find the bass-heavy sound weak on detail and poor value. Both criticise the controls and muffled calls. iLounge finds the fit reasonably comfortable and sound improves after adjusting separate volume controls; WIRED finds the fit tight and the hinges flimsy.
Driver diameter and Bluetooth audio codecs are not published in the original maker manual read.

Works with
Original RJE190396-00 manual specifies Bluetooth HSP 1.2, HFP 1.5, A2DP 1.0 and AVRCP 1.0, with a claimed 10-metre range. This original 2011 model has no analogue cable input, confirmed by WIRED; the later RJE190416-00 revision added one. October 2011 retail availability comes from the original manufacturer's distributor complaint; an exact first-sale day is unproved.
In the box
iLounge's original reviewed bundle includes a zippered carrying case, red cleaning cloth and Micro-USB charging cable.
