They still produce a slight peak in the high treble that amplifies any recording hiss, and the sound is still lacking in the low frequencies. The new EarPods with a Lightning cable don’t sound any better than the old EarPods do via a Lightning adapter.

But if you were hoping for an upgrade via Lightning, you’ll be disappointed.

Although the adapter is small enough to be unobtrusive, it’s also especially easy to lose.So the issue was isolated to an interaction between the new adapter and the initial iOS 10 release. It’s also notable that traditional headphones plugged into the iPhone 6s headphone jack (with the 6s running iOS 10) didn’t have this problem. The problem didn’t seem to affect Apple’s new Earpods with Lightning Connector-only the adapter.

On September 23, however, Apple released a software update that addresses the remote time-out, and we can confirm that the software patch does indeed work. If you are experiencing such issues, check to see if you can update to iOS 10.0.2. When we first tested the adapter, we experienced an issue (also documented on Twitter by iPhone user Scott O’Reilly) with remote and mic pods “timing out” when we left the adapter connected to the Lightning port without audio playing on a locked device for five minutes the remote wouldn’t work again unless we unplugged and replugged the headphones or adapter. So, yes, you’ll still need an adapter, but you won’t need to use a silicone O-ring anymore. We took two pairs of headphones that we knew caused problems on the 6s and tested them with the 7 via the adapter, and we were pleasantly surprised that they functioned perfectly.

Android remotes that didn’t work previously won’t magically start working now, but if you have a pair that functioned well in the past, it still will. This includes both Apple-certified and universal headphones. Any remote that worked with previous iPhones worked with the iPhone 7 through the adapter.

We tested several pairs of headphones with both the iPhone 6s through the internal headphone port and the iPhone 7 via the adapter.
