6 awesome Lightning headphone adapters for your iPhone 8

Best Lightning Headphone Adapters for iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus iMore 2020

The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus no longer includes a tiny port that lets you use the phone's Lightning port with 3.5mm headphones. This can be frustrating if you still prefer to use wired headphones. Don't worry; you can still buy one separately. On this list, you'll find officially certified accessories plus some third-party options to enjoy.

It's official: Apple Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter

This adapter used to ship with iPhones. Now, you need to pay for this accessory separately. If you only buy Apple accessories for your Apple products, this is the (only) one you can buy for your iPhone.

Dual solution: Goyutt Lightning Jack Headphone Adapter Charger

One of the disadvantages of using Apple's adapter is that you can't listen to your music while charging your iPhone. That's not the case with this dual Lightning jack from Goyutt, which is a little more expensive than the official device and is also available in multiple colors.

Easy listenin'

Lightning-to-3.5mm audio adapters take on various functions. Some products are focused only on listening, while others have dual audio and charge capabilities. We prefer the latter variety, such as the Turelar Splitter Jack Adapter, which provides two small cables for each port. Because of this convenient feature, the nifty dongle offers more flexibility.

If you prefer the official accessory, then you'll want to look into the Apple Lightning to Headphone Adapter. This one does not provide the ability to listen and charge simultaneously, but it is the best quality. For those who are shopping on a budget, check out the Handy Design Lighting Headphone Jack which comes at a very tidy price. Whatever you choose, soon you'll be listening easy with those old-school headphones.
