dual charger/headphone jack for iphone 7?

[Straitsfan]

Inherited my mother's iphone 7. Like it, but there is no headphone jack. As you know I have to use the charger jack with a headphone adapter.

Are there any dual chargers/headphone adapters out there that work? I've been on Amazon, but the ones i've seen have bad reviews; all the buyers say don't purchase it and they'll be returning theirs. All were supposed to be MFI certified.

I don't know of any. When I had my 7+ I just charged it first and then used the headphone jack with adapter. Maybe a bit inconvenient but you'll get used to it.

Care to recommend an adapter?

I might be misunderstanding what you want to do but does this get the job done? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074WDWVX1/?tag=macforums0e4-20

I haven't used this specific Belkin product but have used some of their other product and all have worked well.

I assume you are talking about the 3.5mm headphone to Lightening adaptor. I can say from experience these things are a bit of a pain. Sometimes the iPhone will not recognise it or calls it a 3rd party device and rejects it. Usually not with the Apple product though so I would be careful about buying 3rd party adaptors of any sort unless you can "try before you buy."
In the long term, if you intend to stick with Apple devices investing in a pair of headphones with either Bluetooth or Lightening connection would be the best solution.
On the topic, Pioneer have an "in ear" earphone model with both a Lightening connector and a charging port so you can charge your device while you listen. It's the only one I know of, my wife has a pair and they are pretty good.

Just to add to what Rod said, there is an Apple version of this adapter. It has both the 3.5 mm connection and a lightning connector for charging. I have used that device a few times and it works well.
