The speakers on my iPhone 11 are damaged, so I rely on wired audio almost exclusively. I've been using one of the Apple Lightning to audio adapters, but it's breaking and I'd like to get something that both allows me to charge and use wired headphones at the same time. I have a cable that does this, but it doesn't support routing audio from any kind of phone or FaceTime call to my headphones and it doesn't have a female connector which limits the headphones I can use with it. Can someone recommend a product that's portable that won't cause phone audio to revert to the damaged speaker and earpiece on the device itself? This is extremely important. I can't use my phone without a wired connection for very long without getting extremely irritated. Any suggestions as long as they're relatively cheap are very much appreciated.

Belkin rockstar audio + lightning charge
I have been using this adapter ever since they removed the headset jack from the iPhone, as I play a live war game, that is very, very demanding, and a wired headset is absolutely necessary. This adapter serves me well. It has a little square box in which you can simultaneously plug in a standard 3.5 MM jack, and charge, when necessary. It's a perfect solution. I don't like it that my iPhone has a bit of a tail on it all the time, lol, but it works very well. I have tried other aftermarket adapters, all of which fell short, miserably. I purchased mine from www.amazon.com, for approximately $35 USD.
Belkin Rockstar
Thanks, I have a couple questions. I assume this has female lightning and audio jacks on it in addition to the male connector that goes into the device itself? I want to make sure I know exactly what I'm getting so there are no surprises. Does it support routing audio from phone calls to the wired device? I'll probably pick this up even though it's a tad pricey. As long as it works, it'll be worth it.
RE: Belkin Rockstar
This has the female hole to plug in the 3.5 MM male jack into. The lightning charging port is located by the 3.5 mm port. On the other end of the adapter you will find the lightning jack, to plug into your device. No matter what the wired item may be, whether a headset or speaker, the adapter will push the audio to that device.
Belkin 3.5 mm Audio + Charge Rockstar
I assume the Belkin 3.5 mm Audio + Charge Rockstar is what I want as opposed to the Belkin Lightning Audio + Charge Rockstar?

I'll buy directly from the Apple store, it's the same price. It's not at all confusing having two products with very similar names. I assume the other one is exclusively for Lightning audio?

Correct. My apologies for not getting the exact name first.
