This connects by lightning right? Sweet Watter has that mike. It should I don't see why it wouldn't fit.

The Rode support people would not comment, I suppose I could always go somewhere and test.

Well my hearing instruments I reckon would be up to the job not that I?ve had absolute personal experience in this area given its a bit risky flying on planes with my particular hearing condition but that?s bye the bye and not of particular interest to this list. > I think the main problem here is that a lot of folks would rather just whine about it all. > > > On 8 Sep 2016, at 10:28 AM, JOHN RIEHL <realma...@verizon.net> wrote: > > > > What you don't realize is that for some folks who are deaf or hard of hearing, or people like me who travel on trains and planes, having the ability to use headphones and charge your phones is pretty important. > > I resent having a substantive capability taken away for the sake of "thinness". > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of > > Hamit Campos > > Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2016 7:16 PM > > To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' > > Subject: RE: So the new iPhone 7 has been announced > > > > Yeah not much was said but it sounds like they are more wireless than blue tooth. They talked trach about blue tooth. I mean just to say that they didn't seem keen to use it. So I guess it's some kind of wireless like wireless headphones and keyboards use. Which for distance is much better. Leo Laporte and Andy Anatco were pissed about the jack. They kept insisting that they could have kept it. But that would mean the phone would have to be wider at best. Right? AAlso I agree with Shiller time to cut the cord. Cords always tangle especially the cheep spegetty cord like Apple themselves use for the ear pods. Or you could axidentally step on them and break something like I've done to my Bose OE2I head phone kable. Stuff like that. I agree it's not fare for those that have bought mad expensive stuff that is corded but oh well se la vi. At least they give ya an adaptor. > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of > > Dane Trethowan > > Sent: Wednesday, September 7, 2016 6:46 PM > > To: PC Audio Discussion List <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> > > Subject: So the new iPhone 7 has been announced > > > > Indeed it has and no real surprises. > > The headphones socket has gone to make way for another speaker - thus stereo speakers which should dramatically improve the sound of the phone - and that can only be a plus. > > According to the blurb I read the iPhone comes with two very nice additions, a lightning dock to 3.5MM headphones adapter and a set of Airbuds, interesting to know whether these use AirPlay, Bluetooth or yet another standard?
