WHO WE
ARE
This website exists to explore the rapidly
growing sub-category of Lightning-connected
headphones, monitors and earbuds. The
technology and its potential make for what
amounts to “smart headphones”. So, just as
“smartphones” “smartwatches” and
“smartglasses” are differentiated from old
fashioned “normal” phones, watches and
glasses, so thus are Lightning headphones.

The FiiO i1 DAC/AMP:
Much Better Than A Dongle
A range of different adapters have been developed that
can be inserted directly into the Lightning Port of a
range of Apple devices. The FiiO i1 DAC/ 3.5 to Lightning
Headphone Adapter is a fantastic example of this,
coming from a company that is known best for the range
of portable and desktop headphone amplifiers that they
produce.
DUMP YOUR DONGLE
It features a seamless metal body with a matte black finish. It
also has a built-in ability to detect whether you are using a
pair of standard headphones or ones with built-in controls.
The certification itself is Apple MFi certification, meaning that
the adapter will pose no risk to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.
The FiiO i1 DAC/ 3.5 Lightning Headphone Adapter features a
DAC, otherwise known as a digital-to-analog converter. This
ensures that the audio quality produced will always be crystal
clear.
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
The FiiO i1 DAC/ 3.5 to Lightning
Cable Adapter is a fantastic
product, enabling you to keep
using your favorite earphones
with even the newest Apple
devices. It greatly enhances the
user experience and has been
built to be slim enough to fit
within the majority of different
phone cases. It should be noted
that certain cases might not have
a gap wide enough for the
adapter.

TIDAL THE BEST MUSIC
STREAMING APP FOR
IPHONES?
There are hundreds of different streaming services
in countries all around the world. You have Spotify
vs. Apple Music vs. Tidal vs. Pandora ad infinitum..
Some of these services are specifically designed for
particular devices, whereas others can be used on
almost anything. These services are also usually
owned by small companies, at least they start that
way, and many, like Tidal and Apple Music go on to
make heaps of money.

Anker Soundbuds Digital
IE10 In-Ear Full Review
As technology advances, the design of these devices will change change as well to adapt to the latest and greatest
audio trends. Apple recently made a big decision not to include the headphone jack in the design of their iPhone 7
and iPhone 8 devices, making quite a ruckus in the process as consumers were understandably quite shocked.
The ANKER SoundBuds Digital IE10 do not come with that risk, as they
have been Apple MFi certified, having been made specifically for use
with iOS. You can check whether an accessory like a pair of headphones
if officially MFi certified by using Apple’s own “approved list” search
found at https://mfi.apple.com/MFiWeb/getAPS . ANKER have
specifically designed the ANKER SoundBuds Digital IE10 for use in a
sporting environment.
Firstly, the product is much more durable than a standard set of earphones would
be. Secondly, the product features an IPX5 level of water resistance. The Lightning
connectivity feature of this device is really what makes it stand out among other
products. It can be used with a range of iPods, iPhones, and iPads. here are 3
different EQ modes to choose from when using the SoundBuds: balance, clear
voice, and super bass. You can switch between modes easily, with just the touch of
a button.

SUMMARY
The ANKER SoundBuds Digital IE10 are different. They are
incredibly affordable when compared to other Apple MFi
certified products, and they are even affordable when
compared to other products that have not been Apple MFi
certified. It’s difficult to find products that offer as many
fantastic features as this one does with a similar price tag.
We are big fans of lightning-powered earbuds as there are
some great offerings like the JBL Reflect Aware and Libratone Q
Adapts, both of which look cool AND offer active noise
cancelling, but you have to pay extra for that tech.

9. WORLD’S FIRST TRIPLE
DRIVER LIGHTNING
EARBUDS
• With the market being flooded by what are essentially different color
variants of the same crappy lightning cable earbuds it is getting
confusing for audio lovers to differentiate between fly-by-night
schemes and good, honest consumer audio brands.
• The Triple Drivers have already won a fair share of awards, earning
them considerable “street cred” in the audio world.
• Triple Drivers can hit frequencies between 20-40,000 Hz, which you
will be hard pressed to find with other buds at this price.
• Each have 3 drivers in each “bud” (totaling 6), there is also a 5-In-1
controller that lets you make phone calls, run Siri, adjust volume and
change tracks without having to take your phone out of your pocket.
• The design of the buds themselves is kind of an industrial-minimalist
motif, with nice lightweight sandblasted finger-print-proof aluminum
alloy for the housing, oblique angled silicon ear fittings for a tight fit,
and a strong kevlar-cored cable for long strength.

SUMMARY
At a suggested price of $149.99 for the lightning version of
these buds, factoring in all of the features mentioned above,
and the simple and time-tested aluminum housing+kevlar
cable design, we think 1More has a real winner on their hands
with these.
As a consumer, you would be VERY hard pressed to find a
better balance of quality and value! One thing we are curious
about though, is whether 1More plans to port their “Quad
Driver” earbuds over to a lightning-connection anytime
soon…as they also look absolutely stunning!

11. With the iPhone 7 Apple killed off the 3.5mm headphone port, to the dismay of
many. Although anger about the move still simmers, and conspiracies, perhaps
rightly so, still persist that it was a giant revenue ploy by Apple to get people to
buy more dongles, it’s had one major positive impact; the forced evolution of
headphone makers to embrace “smart headphones”. Pioneer has shown us
what this glorious “smart” future looks like..
PIONEER’S INNOVATIVE RAYZ

SUMMARY
Overall these earbuds are impressive as hell, from the unique
dual charging function, to the beautiful app, to the low power
consumption considerations. These are without a doubt the
most technologically advanced earbuds currently on the
market for Apple users and for that reason they deserver a
huge round of applause

AUDEZE SINE LIGHTNING
CANS ARE AU-MAZING
Audeze Sine Headphones have attracted a whole heap of praise
from influential tech reviewers would be a serious
understatement. PC Mag have heralded them as “powerful,
vibrant, balanced, stylish and comfortable”, while Metal-Fi, called
them “outstanding” and Digital Trends quite pointedly noted their
ability to overcome the limitations faced by other headphones.
The Audeze Sine Headphones are putting their best foot forward
with wireless tech. A super fat, heavy duty, tangle free cable that
not only transmits your music losslessly to your ears but also
includes a built in DAC as well. Additionally the cable includes a
micr0phone for voice calls, full SIRI compatibility, built in DSP, and a
dedicated EQ app to adjust your music to your taste directly from
your smartphone. The Cipher cable is one of the stand out features
of the Sines and a very practical application of the benefits
afforded by using lightning connections instead of analog

SUMMARY
Overall the Sine's a truly unique, bringing Planar Magnetic
technology and a really neat lightning cable to the table which
is pretty empty in terms of direct competition. Sure the price is
a little high, but factoring in all the engineering that has gone
on to get incorporate these new technologies, it's actually a
pretty fair price we think and if we had the cheddar, we'd drop
for them in an instant.

Bluetooth headphones on the market. While the punch and
