Q: iPhone Charging & Music

I'm planning on buying the new iPhone. I was wondering, how would it be possible to listen to music and charge your phone at the same time with the only lightning cable jack on the new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus?

Thanks.

A:

Another thread earlier today said that one of the accessory manufacturers has already advertised a patch cord with one male lightning end and two female ports. I believe it was Belkin if you want to look it up. I suspect there will be several of them in the very near future.

Unfortunately, there's no convenient way to do charging and playing music simultaneously.
You probably should be using wireless headphones. That's what Apple wants you to do.
Another option is this awkward trick with the iPhone dock.

Thanks Chris. I did some research around Belkin and found this:
