The new wireless AirPods of the latest iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus has received mix reviews. Some customers enjoy the further innovation of wireless technology. However, some still prefer the now old-fashioned 3.5mm wired headphones. Fortunately, Apple has not completely gotten rid of the 3.5mm headphone jack. Users could use Apple's very own headphone jack adapter and other third-party options.
Here are the top 5 headphone jack adapters for your iPhone 7 and 7 Plus:
Apple Lightning To 3.5mm Adapters
The initial solution of the 3.5mm headphone jacket absence is the Lightning to 3.5mm adapter. It can be purchased separately for $9 through Apple. But you can avail it at $7 in Amazon. However, iPhone 7 users are not able to charge and listen to music simultaneously with the adapter.
Apple's Lightning Dock
Apple has provided an alternative for the very limited Lightning to 3.5mm adapter. Users can buy the Lightning Dock, according to 9to5Mac. It costs $39 to $49 and has a built-in headphone jack.
iLDOCK
If you want to wait until November, the iLDOCK is for you. According to Tech Times, the small-sized dongle costs just $10, but it will cost at $20 for the upgraded version. The upgraded iLDOCK Plus has microSD card and SD card slots. It also comes with USB ports.
You can also choose from different colors: gold, silver, rose gold and gray.
Fstop Labs' Lightning To 3.5mm Power Audio Charge Headphone Jack Adapter Cable
The Fstop Labs Lightning to 3.5mm Power Audio Charge Headphone Jack Adapter Cable costs a bit more than the iLDOCK. At $25.99, it allows you to use the headphone jack and Lightning port at the same time. It is already available for pre-order at Amazon.
Fuze Case
You can use the Fuze Case if you have a bigger budget. At $69, you both solve the problem of simultaneous use and irritable dongles or wires. Tech Time reports that the case for the iPhone 7 packs an additional 2,400 mAh battery. There's also for the iPhone 7 Plus with 3,600 mAh cell.
You have the choice to spend for these adapters. That's if you insist on using your wired headphones. But you can also use the wireless AirPods to fully support Apple's ongoing battle against the classic 3.5mm headphone jack.
