Hi, Thanks for the review, found it very useful.
I noticed that you’ve mentioned aptX as one of the features of the ClipR, but nowhere on the musemini website/product page itself would you find it mentioned. aptX support is really important for me so I was wondering if there’s any way of knowing for sure if ClipR has aptX support? Thanks!
@navaneeth Suresh I am sorry to say that they have removed that feature from their list of features for the ClipR on the Muse Mini website. I since have done a review

and noticed that the aptX feature listing has been removed from the site.
