iPhone 7: Connect headphones or headset

The new iPhone 7 comes without a headphone jack. This practical tip shows you how you can still connect headphones to the new Apple device.

Connect headphones to the iPhone 7 - so it'll work

• As Apple announced, the new iPhone 7 will no longer have a headphone jack.
• To connect headphones or a headset to the new iPhone, you now have to choose other methods.
• You can choose the cordless version and connect the headphones to the iPhone via Bluetooth - for example with the new AirPods from Apple.
• Or you can use special headphones with a Lightning connector.
• Unfortunately, such headphones are still very expensive. We therefore recommend the first wireless method via Bluetooth.
• Note: Apple also delivers a Lightning adapter with the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. If you wish, you can continue to use common headphones with a jack connection.
