Test of the Lightning Rockstar Audio Belkin adapter: to load the iPhone 7 with a trendy helmet

7 arrived with very few modifications in terms of design. But one
of it is in size since it breaks with a known and used socket since
Several decades: the mini jack, or 3.5 mm headphone jack.

So of course, the solutions exist, Apple thus promotes wireless
Of course, but retains wired compatibility, either with the helmet
supplied which plugs into the lightninh socket, either with a adapter also
supplied to use a conventional grip helmet on a socket
Lightning. But all this has a price: the recharge taking is used
When you listen to music!

To resolve this drawback, Belkin offers Audio Rockstar, a
"Lightning splitting" certified by Apple, withtwo
prises Lightning, to allow the simultaneous connection of a helmet
and a charging cable.

Here is the discovery and test in pictures of this adapter.

The Audio Rockstar is delivered well protected in a cardboard box.

Once unpacked, we are not in known ground as it looks like the
Adapters marketed by Apple. Good quality plastics and sockets
Lightning are there.

It is distinguished by the presence of the small Belkin logo.

The length is reduced, but it is not an extension, it is above all
A way to find a lost function.

Thus, the adapter connects with its male lightning socket on the intake of
Recharge of the iPhone. It is very compact but very slightly thicker than
The classic Apple charging cable and should be compatible with the large
majority of shells.

In parallel, it is then possible to connect: a cable
power supply (the one provided with the iPhone) and a lightning helmet, or a
traditional helmet with the mini jack adapter supplied with the iPhone 7 on
the adapter.

The use is therefore particularly easy and obvious, especially since
The connection can be done indifferently on one socket or the other.

A precision is still provided by a card delivered with
The accessory:No question of connecting 2 helmets or 2 plugs
recharge.

Other information to know, this adapter is well indicated as
conveying that audio signals, so there is no question of imagining connecting two
Lightning accessories on a single plug, two helmets in particular or
Synchronize data via USB or any other original idea!

In use, we therefore end up with a rather substantial connection on
the iPhone, but it's the price to pay to listen to your music, watch
a wire or telephone even if the battery is almost empty, in
recharging.

Our tests carried out with a USB tester showed that the intensity delivered
was unchanged with a classic iPhone charger, indicating a duration of
similar recharge with/without the Belkin adapter. With a charger more
powerful (the
Syncwire tested here), the intensity delivered was limited to 1.45 mAh instead
1.66 mAh without adapter. It remains very close.

The classic headset functions are also preserved, namely
The use of the break and volume button is no problem
particular. In terms of sound rendering, no notable difference, knowing that
The cable is indicated as compatible with the sound up to 24 bits,
48 kHz.

In the end, here we have an adapter certified by Apple, a guarantee of duration
of use even during update updates to come, which allows in particular
to avoid the classic case of the phone call to pass with a headset but with a
almost unloaded iPhone. It is also used for watching videos on
long periods. The whole is compact to storage, less to use, but
does the work planned. Only one drawback, a very very very
pupil !
