The most popular example of this is the rise of Bluetooth stereo headphones. Since Bluetake introduced the first ever Bluetooth stereo headphones to the market, the i-PHONO, everyone from unknown companies to peripheral giants like Logitech have gotten in on the action. Not to sit idly by, Bluetake has released a new Bluetooth stereo headphone, the i-PHONO mini. Boasting a new style and supporting the latest Bluetooth AV profiles, Bluetake is looking to regain a piece of the Bluetooth headphone market. Does the i-PHONO mini deserve your attention? Read on and find out.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/bluetooth_iphono_mini/01.jpg"></a><a href="atruereview/bluetooth_iphono_mini/01.jpg"><img src="atruereview/bluetooth_iphono_mini/01th.jpg" width="238" height="250" border="0" alt="Bluetake i-PHONO mini Bluetooth Stereo Headphone" title="Bluetake i-PHONO mini Bluetooth Stereo Headphone"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><b>Packaging:</b></p> <p> Bluetake's i-PHONO mini will be available in a solo pack featuring only the headphone and its accessories, as well as a combo pack which will feature the headphone along with a BT450Tx iPod optimized Bluetooth transmitter (MSRP $159.95). In this review I will be covering the solo pack.</p> <p> i-PHONO mini comes packaged in a colored glossy retail box. The front of the box has a rectangular cutout, which allows two headphone earpods to be seen. The right side of the box displays an icon list of the headphone's features. Also, displayed are the official optional accessories for the i-PHONO mini (all transmitters). </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/bluetooth_iphono_mini/04.jpg"><img src="atruereview/bluetooth_iphono_mini/04th.jpg" width="210" height="250" border="0" alt="Bluetake i-PHONO mini Bluetooth Stereo Headphone" title="Bluetake i-PHONO mini Bluetooth Stereo Headphone"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>The back of the package is jam packed with information. There is a diagram displaying all the applications of the i-PHONO mini as well as notices on what is required to pair the headphone with various devices. Lastly, the back displays the specifications list. The left side of the box displays the same specifications list in seven alternative languages. </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/bluetooth_iphono_mini/02.jpg"><img src="atruereview/bluetooth_iphono_mini/02th.jpg" width="103" height="250" border="0" alt="Bluetake i-PHONO mini Bluetooth Stereo Headphone" title="Bluetake i-PHONO mini Bluetooth Stereo Headphone"></a><a href="atruereview/bluetooth_iphono_mini/03.jpg"><img src="atruereview/bluetooth_iphono_mini/03th.jpg" width="117" height="250" border="0" alt="Bluetake i-PHONO mini Bluetooth Stereo Headphone" title="Bluetake i-PHONO mini Bluetooth Stereo Headphone"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>Inside, the i-PHONO mini headphone is held in place inside a blister casing.
