When the iPhone 7 came out, many bemoaned the loss of the headphone jack. The traditional way to use headphones disappeared, leaving iPhone 7 owners with just three options: Bluetooth, Lightning headphones or weird dongles. Luckily, the RES can take you back to a simpler time — and solve one of the iPhone’s other shortcomings at the same time.
RES replaces iPhone 7 headphone jack

With this handy hub, which plugs right into your iPhone’s Lightning port, you can charge your phone — either wireless or with a standard cable — while listening to music through a standard 3.5mm jack. Sometimes taking a step backward is a good thing.
This is not some flimsy signal switcher, either. Under the RES’s calm exterior, a 24-bit/192kHz digital-to-analog converter roars. It puts out high-resolution audio with a frequency range that goes up to 100kHz.
It’s not just an adapter, but a high-end signal processor that captures all the depth and detail of the original audio file. And it packs advanced noise-cancelation technology as well.
Qi wireless charging for iPhone

With Qi wireless charging integrated into the RES, the iPhone finally catches up to some of its Android counterparts. Attach the RES to your iPhone, and you can place it on any compatible wireless charging base to juice up your phone, without the need for a bulky charging case.
This way, the only wires you’ll ever connect to it will be your headphones.
If the latest iPhone upgrade rendered your high-end headphones useless, this multifunctional iPhone accessory is definitely worth considering. Whether you want to reconnect your ears to your favorite cans or simply keep things tidy and wireless, check out the RES on Kickstarter.
After all, there’s no reason to let Apple decide how you enjoy your music (or charge your iPhone).

Wireless charging? You still have to plug in a dongle and then lay it on the mat…Oh…that’s a lot easier than just plugging in the Lightning jack??? Ridiculous !!! Stupid even!!
I’ve made $104000 in 2016 by doing an on-line job and I did it by working part-time for 3+ hrs /daily. I was following work opportunity I came across from this website i found online and I am so thrilled that i made so much money. It’s user-friendly and I’m so thankful that i discovered this. Check out what I do… http://dr.tl/12a843
I profited 104 thousand dollars last year by working online and I did that by working in my own time for few hours each day. I was following an earning model I found online and I am so amazed that i made so much money on the side. It’s user-friendly and I’m just so thankful that i learned about it. Here’s what I do… http://s.id/1cn
It’s still a dongle. I’d prefer the solution of the Fuze case, if I cared enough to buy the iPhone 7.
Spam.
PAID PLACEMENT.
Small notification of such.
It’s really no wonder no one trusts “journalists”, and in particular one named “Staff Writer”. COM has finally jumped the shark and turned into a web equilavent of an infomercial channel.
Did you even look at the first part of the article “This post is presented by Gadget Creative Lab, maker of the RES.” of course its spam and a paid advertisement, it says it is from the beginning.
And what’s the difference??
Ridiculous post, you would find such options if eBay and AliExpress easily.
Another vaporware Kickstarter project touted as a real product you can buy right now. Moving on. Articles like this should be prefaced with a warning that the product is only a Kickstarter project and may or may not be available for purchase at some point in the future, not with some throwaway line at the end of the article.
Oh… SNAP!
Sorry but I will never go back.
I’m disappointed that only _ONE_ of the available backing packages has the wireless charging. Seems fairly misleading to me when most people who read the article or the kickstarter get the impression that it’s all-inclusive.

Who the f… needs such a scrap ? Nobody!!
