Apple’s move to drop the 3.5mm headphone jacket with iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus leaves you with 2 reasonable options for listening to music or taking calls: connect wirelessly via Bluetooth or directly through the Lightning port. There’s also that tiny 3.5mm to Lightning adapter, but that’s just messy. Even though Bluetooth has come a long way, it’s still finicky enough to be a real hassle at times (especially on low-end models). I prefer wired earbuds for ease of use (no doing the Bluetooth pair/re-pair dance) and super sound quality.
If Apple’s EarPods refuse to stay in your ears or you just need an extra pair of headphones for your travel bag, you should take a look at Spigen’s just announced in-ear Lightning headphones with remote and mic. They retail for $46.99, but we’ve partnered with Spigen to bring 9to5Toys readers an exclusive 50% launch day discount.
