Iphone Headphones Audio Jack

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everyone knows the problem with having one jack on the iPhone -- can't listen to wired headphones and charge the phone at the same time. There is a nice solution to that problem in the form of a simple splitter that allows charging and listening. Works really well, although you cannot use it to split into two headphones. Simple and elegant, just what is needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Has a owner of a iPhone without a 3.5 auxiliary jack I’ve been unable to use speakers and headphones that don’t support Bluetooth. The Belkin International - 3.5 mm Audio + Charge RockStar gives me access to those devices. The port provides an 3.5 jack and a slot for the lightning charging cable so you can charge your phone and use your headphones at the same time.

I used this hooked up to my iPhone 6+ in the past, but since I upgraded to the 7+ with no headphone jack I've been using the mic hooked up to an audio recorder for my DSLR video (the recorder has phantom power). I use the extension cable and rode adapter for standard 3.5mm input and it works great. The sound is as good as I'll need it to be for interviews. I'd only upgrade to a nicer mic if this one breaks.

The RS 175 is extremely easy to use and sounds great. I hooked it up with my analog TV headphone out jack, and you can play the headphones by themselves, or at the same time as the optical digital TV out plays through the audio video amplifier into my corded speakers. That way if noisy people enter our living room I can just slip on the headphones and not have to ask them to be quiet or to leave, and I don't have to jack up the sound coming out of the speakers. Also, you just turn them on and they are automatically connected, you don't have to take any additional steps or try to debug any issues. The audio quality is very good and the headset is comfortable.

needed it for an iphone w/o the headphone jack

Great for converting from headphones to XLR jack.

I was given this product in exchange for a fair and unbiased review. The Belkin Lightning Audio + Charge Rockstar fixes what may be the only problem with the iPhone 7 series phones, along with future iPhones - the lack of ability to listen to headphones while charging the phone. The device is very simple to use - you plug it into your iPhone, you plug your charge cable into one side and your headphones or headphone dongle into the other. The iPhone figures out everything else for you, and off you go. Should Apple decide to drop the headphone port on future iPads, this device also has you covered. I was able to charge my 2017 iPad with the 2.4 amp Apple charger while plugged into this dongle at its full charging rate. There are other, cheaper (read - not "MFI-compliant") options out there, but you run into compatibility problems with software updates and quality control issues. For me, the Lightning Audio + Charge RockStar is the only option for charging and listening to wired headphones, as it's MFI compliance guarantees that a future iOS update won't disable it. All in all, this is a good overall product for what it does.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a newer iphone that doesn't have the audio jack. I was using just headphones, but then I would run out of battery. With this I can charge my phone while listening to my headphones. I love how well made it is, and it's portable. Can use it in your car to stream music from your phone. Directions are clear and easy to understand.

Helpful to pass time while on public transit. I can listen to music on my iPhone with headphones since there's no more audio jack on phones. Well-designed and works perfectly.
