Pioneer Solves iPhone 7 Charging While Listening to Music Problem

When Apple tree decided to remove the headphone jack from the iPhone, it was marketed every bit "courage," simply most people saw it for what it actually is: a push to sell more Lightning port accessories (dongles!) and wireless headphones.

One of the big bug that owners meet when using an iPhone vii is how to charge it while listening to music or chatting. This can be achieved by opting for wireless earbuds such as the AirPods, but and then that's something else you need to charge. Pioneer decided to come up up with a meliorate solution, and they called it Rayz Plus.

Both the iPhone vii and iPhone 7 Plus just take one Lightning port, so Pioneer went ahead and integrated a second i into the cablevision of its new Rayz Plus earphones. That way, you can plug the charging cable into the earphones cable and continue to listen to music or conversation while charging.

There'south two models of Rayz available: the $99.95 Rayz and $149.95 Rayz Plus, and you're going to take to spend the actress cash equally the charging port is merely integrated into the Rayz Plus. That's a lot to spend of earphones, though, simply thankfully Pioneer included a number of other useful features to help entice a buy.

Both models include smart dissonance canceling, AutoPause (music pauses automatically when they are removed from your ears), a programmable Smart Button, Eco Way, and personalized settings feature using the accompanying Rayz app. Every set up has a built-in digital audio processor and amp for 24-flake 48kHz processing, and a feature called HearThru, which passes appropriate ambience noises through the racket canceling barrier. Then y'all'll be able to hear sounds that are important, such as a machine horn or your name being shouted. I'll exist interested to run into how well that works.

$150 may sound like a lot for a ready of earphones, but it'due south $x cheaper than the AirPods, and the integrated charging port means you don't need to bear a dongle around. And then yous can see why the Rayz Plus will exist a tempting purchase for iPhone 7 owners.
