iPhone 7 Earpods - Are These Legit?

2016-08-17
iPhone 7 you heard about it you seen videos here in fact on unbox therapy regarding it now the biggest and most controversial development in the world of iPhone 7 talk is this idea of Apple eliminating the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack that's the little audio jack on the bottom of your iPhone that allows you to interact with regular headphones what you would consider to be standard granted a lot of people started using wireless headphones for convenience but this next iPhone the iPhone 7 apparently that jack is no longer gonna exist kind of like this Jack over here I was pretty good the way I put the jack then what are we gonna have instead is it gonna be wireless headphones headphones that are in the box to use the Lightning port or no headphones at all speculation is rampant these are headphones that showed up straight from China you show you inside instead of terminating into a mini jack 3.5 millimeter connector we have this a lightning connector right on the end of what looks like standardized ear pods now these have shown up on various leaks and rumors sites let's take a look let's find out if I can just plug these into a standard iPhone and even get an audio signal on the current software without any kind of third-party app I have to admit though they have nailed the kind of ear pod design what happens here if I I'm into the Lightning port right now no third-party app oh by default works by default works right away I'm assuming I just stumbled into a banger when you're plugging your phone into a dock or a third party accessory that uses the Lightning port to output audio I assume that we're using that same pin situation in order to get that audio output to this cable here now the question is do we have an improvement in sound quality I think the next obvious thing to do is to play back some tracks over the Lightning earpods and then compare that to a standard set of 3.5 millimeter ear pods which I need to go get right standard authentic set of current-generation ear pods it is time for our test okay standard ear pods wait a second wait a second something seems off here hahaha the standard ear pods sound way better way better here's what I think I don't think these are legit at all and if I had to speculate right now I would suggest that Apple is not going to include a set of lightning ear pods in the next iPhone the headphone jack will be dead I think it's going to be up to you to pick up either a third party or maybe an accessory that's official that that Apple makes or a couple of headphone options a marketing ploy a marketing strategy if you will to cause consumers to look at the headphone section of the Apple store or the website and think about immediately grabbing an upgrade and spending more per transaction if you're on the street if you're on a subway on a train on an airplane you see these things everywhere now if you owned beats as well as Apple you'd be saying how can we sell a pair of headphones with every iPhone here's how take this out of the box change the port so that the old ones don't work and force people to look at lightning options or Wireless options which of course in the store are going to be dominated by Beats products I think there will be an adapter in the box there will probably be a lightning to mini-jack adapter so you could use old headphones if you wanted to the real move here is to go with something Wireless there's a lot of great ones out there in fact I've done many videos so go watch those just because there's no headphones in the box doesn't mean you need to grab those beats
