Shortly after the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus were announced, Belkin made waves by introducing a dongle accessory that would let users listen to music over wired headphones and charge their iPhones at the same time. The only problem was the fact that it’s a terribly product. It’s big, it’s bulky, it’s WAY overpriced, and it has two Lightning ports instead of one Lightning port and one 3.5mm audio port, which most people wanted.

Well, it took some digging but we finally found the exact product you’ve been looking for. The Fstop Labs Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Charge Adapter is a much better option for users looking to solve this problem, and you can preorder it on Amazon right now to be among the first people in the world to get one when it starts shipping soon.

Some key details:

  • Lightning To 3.5mm Power Audio Adapter Cable for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
  • Designed for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 + Plus
  • Listen to music and charge your phone at the same time
  • No charging, nor software required. Just plug your existing headphones / earphones into the jack.
  • Please note: No Microphone support (Cannot user microphone to answer calls)

While Belkin charges $40 for its oversized, overpriced, poorly designed dongle, the Fstop Labs Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Charge Adapter costs just $25.99 with free shipping.
