The HTC U11 has surprisingly good audiophile credentials, thanks to USB-C headphones with an integrated DAC and stereo speakers. However, neither of these options are great if you’re driving. That’s why we’re going to show you the best ways to connect your HTC U11 to your car stereo, allowing you to listen to music, podcasts and take calls in your car. Let’s get right into it!
The rumours were true: the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus don’t have a 3.5mm headphone jack. Apple includes Lightning headphones in the box, but how are you going to listen to your music and charge your phone at the same time with only one port to use? We’ve got the answer – take a look!
According to a purported piece of packaging for the upcoming iPhone 7 Plus, the next iPhones will come with… Lightning EarPods!
As we’ve reported several times before, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are expected to ditch the 3.5mm port, making analogue headphones a thing of the past. In their stead, Apple will focus their attention on wired headphones using the Lightning connector and wireless Bluetooth headphones. Apple’s EarPods have used the 3.5mm in the past, so two options are a possibility: we’ll see an 3.5mm to Lightning adapter bundled with the new iPhones and the existing EarPods, or we’ll see new EarPods with an integrated Lightning connector. A new leak suggests that it’s going to be the latter.
How do you ensure that your music sounds as good as it possibly can? It sounds like a simple question with a straightforward solution, but there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes than you may realise.
