Philips Lightning connector headphones review: not worth the hassle

With good sound and 24bit support, M2L Fidelio headphones work nicely with iPhone and iPad - but nothing else

The first Lightning connector-equipped headphones for the iPhone aren't made by Apple - they're a pair of Philips with excellent sound but major downsides.

Apple's Lightning connector can output audio digitally, rather than analogue over a traditional headphones cable. That allows the headphones to handle the digital to audio conversion and, in theory, sound better.
