If your Belkin adapter has developed a fault that is not due to accidental damage or misuse, then be sure to contact Belkin with a view to obtaining a replacement under warranty.

Solutions for charging your iPhone whilst also using wired headphones include:

iPhone Dock

• If your headphones have a 3.5mm jack, you can charge your iPhone and listen to music at the same time.

Belkin's Lightning Audio + Charge RockStar™ enables you to charge your iPhone whilst also listening to music via wired headphones. It supports use of:

• The supplied EarPods (or other headphones with a Lightning connector).
• Headphones with a 3.5mm jack, when connected via the Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter (which is included with the iPhone).

Other accessories may follow in due course from Apple and/or third-party manufacturers. When buying any accessory for your iPhone, ensure that it is either a genuine Apple product or that - like the Belkin product - it has been certified as Made for iPhone (MFi).

I don't think you need to charge an iPhone while you're walking.

One of the solution is to buy wireless headphone.

There are many other options out there, make your decision.

You think wrong and you don't read what I wrote about not wanting to buy aditional accessories. Maybe I'm gaming on my phone and I have a powerbank with me. Guess you didn't see that coming. Did you?

Yes I did, but that is not how the iPhone 7 is designed to work.

You can do what you want but only with accessories and that's the reality.

Apple is betting on wireless going forward.

BTW, your iPhone 6s is still very good keep using it.

Same here, go figure it out yourself.

.. One of the things I'm not sure I'll be able to solve is listening to music using the wired headphones, while charging the phone. How will I be able to do this without any accessories bought from third party producers, or from Apple? ..

You won't be able to do this.

I'm absolutely interested in the matter and the solution you, from Apple, find to this, without any wireless accessories.

Apparently you do allow a third-party charger? (Since you will do this while walking.) Maybe there is (or will be) a charger with a headphone plug-in...
