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!<\/p>\n

1. Pick up a 3.5mm \/ Lightning dual adapter<\/h2>\n

\"MFi<\/p>\n

Right now, the simplest way is to get a dual adapter, transforming the single Lightning port of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus into two ports: 3.5mm for listening to music and Lightning for charging.<\/p>\n

The adapter fits easily in a pocket, and includes an in-line remote for adjusting the volume, skipping songs or activating Siri — which is great if the headphones you’d like to use don’t have an iOS-compatible remote themselves.<\/p>\n

The adapter supports up to 48Hz 24-bit lossless audio too, so you won’t be sacrificing any audio quality here. The adapter is made for iPhone certified as well, meaning it follows Apple’s strict guidelines and will work perfectly with your iPhone. Awesome!<\/p>\n

2. Use a 3.5mm \/ Lightning case<\/h2>\n

\"Incipio<\/p>\n

The OX case from Incipio includes its own built-in adapter, allowing you to connect 3.5mm headphones and Lightning charging cables directly to the case itself. This is one of the simplest ways to add a 3.5mm port to your iPhone, without needing to carry around a separate adapter!<\/p>\n

3. Use an iPhone 7 dock<\/h2>\n

\"apple-dock\"<\/p>\n

Apple’s official Lightning Dock is one of the easiest\u00a0ways to listen to your music while charging your phone, e.g. at your desk. Plonk your iPhone on the Lightning connector, then plug in headphones and a Lightning charger on the back — simple. A side benefit is that you can pick up your iPhone to take a call, without unplugging and replugging your headphones.<\/p>\n
