Hello - I had a pair of the original 1RBT headphones, and then gave them to my father, who loves them.  As much as I like my PSB M4U2's, wireless is just so much better for how I use my headphones.
 
The original 1RBT's have come down considerably in price, thankfully.  The Mk2's appear only available in Asia, and appear to have aptX encoding as its primary benefit.  I'll be using these primarily with an iPhone/iPad, which don't support that codec (at least in their current forms).
 
Does anyone have any actual experience using the different models on Apple devices?  If the Mk2 sound significantly better, I'd try to source a pair, but if not, I'll just get the regular model.
 
Many thanks in advance for your comments.
