hey what is up guys I'm Q PhD here and this is the iPhone 7 and we already know it doesn't have the headphone jack anymore just the Lightning port so it does have slightly improved speakers and you could listen to those if you want to listen to music or watch videos but the removal of that headphone port means we now have two real options for listening to music via headphones lightning headphones and wireless headphones fun fact Apple dropping a headphone jack from the iPhone 7 is actually great news for one person or one group of people and that's headphone manufacturers because they just got a huge new market of people to sell headphones to that didn't exist before and that's iPhone 7 buyers so as this iPhone comes out and it's brand new the accessory market is young so if you're going to be early to this phone you got to be early to the accessories so these are those accessories option one lightning headphones so your default option is the lightning ear pods that come in the box they're nothing special but you can see obviously instead of ending in a three-and-a-half millimeter headphone jack it's a lightning port so plugs right in no charging required no adapter required this is the standard now everything else about them from the ear pods to the inline controller is the same as before from the standard you can go up a little bit in price to these philips headphones i've shown before these are the philips Fidelio m2 and they're pretty much what you'd expect from a classic third-party pair of lightning headphones so a lightning jack on one end on your headphones on the other end and these headphones also have a non cup volume control rocker and the entire right ear cup is a giant play/pause button so it works the same way it did with the previous iPhones but yeah now it's the primary option its standard plugging right into that Lightning port this is the other over your pair I've showed in a previous video these are the Odyssey sign definitely a more premium price but you're getting better materials more real leather and metal and a bit more of a heavier headphone overall a softer headband more comfortable but yeah this pair has an inline controller with a mic and a play/pause button which is different and volume controls etc this plugs right in by lightning again and works as expected sounds pretty good you're more on a budget though there are way less expensive headphones I'll have links all these below but this is a pair by bright tech inline controls again it's a bit of a trend but honestly these are a bit less adjustable and a lot less comfortable but there's still lightning headphones you'll just notice they definitely feel cheaper and definitely hurt in the sound Department so it's what you'd expect for the price but really I'd recommend these to someone who's trying to save money but just definitely want over ear headphones and have to go and buy a lightning and last but not least another pair of Lightning earbuds these are the shark Lightning earbuds their advantage over the Lightning ear pods are small they have slightly bigger more clicky inline controls and the flat blue cable throughout is a nice touch helps it not get tangled as much and your bows themselves feel a bit more solid they have what feels like metal on the back and they have a little bit more weight to them but as you know none of that matters if they don't stay in your ears very well and these didn't stay in my ears very well alright so option number two is wireless headphones this market has already existed for a while so all of these headphones except for one are new but the thing about wireless headphones is you're never quite going to match the level of sound quality you get from Wired but what you want to look for in wireless headphones is a really long battery life to hopefully alleviate the inconvenience of having to charge them so the default option here with the iPhone 7 is the new air pods you know the ones $159 ear pods without wires they get a lot of flack for it not being worth it but actually they have a couple of extra features so they have Apple's new w1 chip inside which makes pairing to an iPhone super simple and then they automatically also sync with your other Apple devices on your account like a macbook pro or an ipad has microphones for listening to voice commands and touch sensitivity for triggering siri so there's a lot actually going on hopefully i'll got my hands on them to review them but there are definitely other better options like Bluetooth earbuds any of them you seen these before Jaybirds x2 or jaybird freedom they have a battery life almost twice as long as the air pods rated at about 8 hours of playback before you need to recharge so that's awesome and they sound phenomenal that's why I like them so much and they're very unlikely to fall out of your ears no matter what the shape is because they have this wing tip that fits ugly and comfortably their sweat proof they have a great mic and inline controls they're basically built to be workout headphones so they're really good at all of that another pair you've probably seen before since I reviewed them is the Bose QC 3 5 or the Bose QuietComfort 35 s the QuietComfort series finally went Wireless and they are so nice they're much bigger so you're looking at about a 20 hour battery life and they have excellent noise cancellation because that's basically bose a specialty here and much better sound than most other wireless headphones they're pricey but if you watch the review you'll probably also be convinced like I was and there were also plenty of other wireless headphones in this bluetooth over ear category again check the links below and then there's these the new beats solo 3 they were announced alongside the new iPhone on stage since Apple owns beats now and they're still beats have their on ear wireless headphones and they also have the new w1 chip inside them like the air pods do so when you turn them on they pair it to your iPhone really easily like the air pods and in theory the rest of your Apple ID devices as well they talk with your iPhone sending information back and forth like battery percentage so that's a nice advantage to having them work so closely with Apple and what's nice though is they claim a 40 hour playback battery life which is a really long time so there's no noise cancellation to take up a lot of power but that's a decent advantage having such a long battery life not having to worry about charging it so much just know that there's still priced like beats and they still sound like beats just so you know so that's what's out there right now if you want to avoid having to adapt your current headphones but if all else fails there is that $9 dongle I'm personally against dongles I don't want to have to think about an adapter every time I want to plug my headphones in but worst case scenario you keep your current pair of headphones and plug the dongle into the end and just leave it there permanently that way hopefully you won't lose it but listen this market which is so small right now will grow a lot in the next year like I want to say 99% of the companies who are making headphones for iPhone right now with the three-and-a-half millimeter jack they'll probably all be making lightning headphones to take advantage of this new market within the next year pretty much guarantee so they can thank Apple for the huge new market to sell headphones to we can thank Apple for or the inability to charge and listen to Wired music at the same time but here's what I'd like to see in the next iPhone I know it's pretty early but I'd like to see the next iPhone have two lightning ports and if someone wants to get in on it early they can make an Android phone with two USB type-c ports I wouldn't really care about the lack of headphone jack as much either way that's been it thank you for watching I'll talk to you guys the next one peace
