1. Brightech Apple MFi Approved Pure Lightning Headphones

(Brightech)

Opinion has been divided about Apple’s decision to ditch the headphone jack on the iPhone 7. If you want to pick up a pair of Lightning headphones, this style from Brightech offers the comfort of over-the-ear headphones, combined with the audio benefits of a Lightning headset. An inline remote, soft leatherette ear cups, and a three-year warranty make these affordable headphones a solid choice. While every iPhone 7 comes with Lightning earbuds, some people prefer over-the-ear headphones over earbuds for reasons of comfort or sound quality.

If you’re looking to experiment with Lightning headphones for the first time, these headphones are an inexpensive way to join the Lightning headphone movement. If you want something a little more upmarket, another option to consider would be the Philips Fidelio M2L/27 High Resolution Headphones with Built-in DAC and Lightning Connector, which retail for $199.99. Another option to consider? Ditch the cords entirely, and opt for a high-end pair of wireless earbuds, like these well-reviewed buds from Bragi.

If you’ve ever cracked the screen on your iPhone, you know how costly replacing the screen can be.

5. Merge VR Headset

(Merge VR)

2016 has been all about the rise of VR technology. Samsung’s made a splash by offering Gear VR headsets that are compatible with select Samsung Galaxy phones, but Apple doesn’t do something comparable for the iPhone. This iOS-compatible headset lets you experience VR, but at a fraction of the price you’d pay for an Oculus Rift. This headset is compatible with most iOS and Android devices from the last 2 years and fits a variety of sizes, even Apple’s “Plus” line of phablets, so the iPhone 7 should fit just fine.

These VR goggles are soft, making them both comfortable to wear, as well as somewhat child-proof when it comes to accidental drops. The Merge VR headset will work with any existing virtual reality apps on Google Play and the iOS App Store. Curious about VR? Check out our in-depth guide to the best VR headsets to see other options that might appeal to you.

8. Caseology Parallax Series iPhone 7 Case

(Caseology)

The new iPhone 7 has a beautiful, streamlined body. And while this is arguably the most durable iPhone yet, it’s still a smart idea to use a case to protect your device. As the Verge points out, people who choose the “jet black” phone should definitely use a case, since that color shows scratches more than the other color options.

If you want a basic case that’s got a little edge to keep it from being boring, this is the case for you. The texture on the back of the case not only looks cool, but makes it easier to hold the phone without dropping it. If the black/blue version pictured above doesn’t strike your fancy, there are five other colors to choose from. This style offers a basic level of protection that’s sufficient for people who aren’t accident prone.
