A 44.5-gram Bluetooth remote with an aluminium volume wheel that turns in small tactile steps, so you set the level by feel while the player sits docked across the room. A four-way pad handles play, pause and skip; it remembers three devices, and two hours on USB-C buys more than 90 hours of use. $50 — though on an iPhone the screen and back buttons do nothing.
