Belkin makes an accessory called the Rockstar Lightning Audio + Charge Splitter that allows you to use your Lightning headphones while charging your Lightning-equipped Apple device. Now it's announced a new RockStar in-ear Lightning headphone that's due to ship this summer followed by a USB-C version of the same product.
There's no word on pricing yet but hopefully they'll sound better and cost around the same as a pair of Apple Earpods, which can be found online for around $25. You can also (obviously) make calls with them.
Here are the Belkin RockStar headphones' key specs:
- Durable construction with MFi certification.
- Silicon ear tips provide enhanced fit and seal for noise isolation.
- Sweat and water resistant.
- On sale summer 2019 from Belkin.com.
- RockStar Headphones with USB-C Connector coming later this year.
- Available in black or white.
