Question

Earphone for iPhone 7

Jul 19, 2016 11:29PM PDT

I watched a short video about the design of iPhone7 on YouTube and feel bad cuz it only has one lightning connector without any audio jack. That means my new Bose earphone will be unavailable to iPhone7 any more...

I need to buy a new one if i want to get an iPhone7. Here is the question: is there any hi-fi noise cancelling earphone with lightning connector on the market designed for iPhone7?

Waiting for your recommendations

Recommedation on Lightning conector earphone

Most people would say Bose is the best noise-cancelling headphone in the market. But I recommend a new one called Thunder, which is designed for iphone 7. Besides, that is charge-free.

The idea is they create a market for a converter

Lightning to 3.5mm @ $49.95, that is. And third party products as well. <ad nauseum>

At least until headphones arrive with Apple compatible lightning connectors.

That's news to me. All so far sounded inferior to on and over ear headphones. I can only guess that Flora is spamming something.
