With the recent release of the iPhone 7 and the news that it does not have a headphone jack, keeping wireless headphones charged is essential, and the Mophie Power Capsule lets consumers do just that. The palm-sized, pill-shaped device looks and functions just like any headphone case, covered in high-quality foam and silicone. However, it simultaneously charges wireless headphones while keeping them protected.
The Power Capsule comes with a 1,400 mAh battery, which, according to Mophie, allows the device to charge most wireless headphones eight full times. Beyond keeping headphones charged, the device also comes with a USB port, so it can be used to charge any USB-connectable devices, including phones themselves. Note, though, that phones will drain far more of the Power Capsule's battery than any wireless headphone set.
