Best iPhone 17 Pro Accessories
1. Best Earbuds for iPhone 17 Pro
Available in Black, White, and Glorange (look how well it matches!), Arctis GameBuds are an absolute must-have earbuds. There are a few reasons why you would want to pick them over the popular AirPods, such as the latest AirPods Pro 3.
According to Endgadget, the battery life actually got a little worse on these. While you will still get about 8 hours of usage from fully charged ones, the total from the case will amount to to about 24 hours. Compare that to the GameBuds, and you're not only getting 10 hours of straight usage, but also up to 3 full charges of 10 hours each from the case. So that's 40 hours total!
Another small complaint is that the fit takes some getting used to. When it comes to the GameBuds, we scanned 62,000 ears in order to find the perfect fit. With three sizes of silicone eartips included, GameBuds are perfect for situations like running or working out, and they won't fall out.
However, the real reason why you should buy in on the Arctis GameBuds is because of their versatility for gaming. They're not just fantastic for phone usage and Bluetooth; they also feature a small dongle for a 2.4GHz connection which is preferred for gaming. You can use the dongle with your iPhone's USB-C connection to get even better audio for gaming. Or you can use it with a console or PC for some chill gaming. You'll easily be able to switch from the 2.4GHz connection to Bluetooth and will be notified about a call.
Plus, we offer the deepest audio customization that you won't find in games or otherwise, with 200 audio presets and counting, covering all the popular games you love such as Fortnite, Minecraft, Call of Duty, GTA V, and so many more. These presets enhance immersion or highlight important sound cues, particularly for FPS games, like footsteps.
2. Best Headset for iPhone 17 Pro
Earbuds are not the only great accessories for an iPhone. A gaming headset like the Arctis Nova 3P Wireless is also a phenomenal option. Again, it's the versatility that's the real power here. You're not only gaining a headset that you can carry around with you everywhere, connecting with convenient Bluetooth (and also benefitting from EQ settings like Deep Bass to boost that music flowing to your ears), but also a fantastic gaming headset with a 2.4GHz wireless connection that's lag-free for gaming. It's perfect for Discord chatting with your buddies or gaming solo, whatever is your style.
But for your iPhone 17 Pro needs, this is a great choice, because it's an extremely lightweight headset. Weighing just 260g (about half a pound), you can easily travel with it or lounge for many hours. The durable hinges easily stretch appropriately for a given head size, and there's also a stretchy headband that reduces pressure.
Great battery life, a detachable mic, app compatibility, and multi-platform connectivity round out the great features of Arctis Nova 3P and 3X Wireless. Also, it's available in awesome colors, such as Aqua or Lavender, so you can craft a stylish look.
3. Apple AirTag
You paid a lot for this phone; but you might have other valuables like a backpack or a purse that it can help you track!
Attach one of these small Bluetooth trackers to the object, such as your keys, and it will help you find it with helpful tones. Also, enable Lost Mode to be notified when the Find My network locates the item.
It's a great accessory to have for any iPhone user, so don't neglect a little bit of insurance, especially if you're forgetful or easily lose things. Especially your keys.
4. Anker Nano 30W USB-C Charger
Don't just stick with the default iPhone charger. You can do better with this Anker Nano 30W USB-C charger, available in multiple colors. GaN technology works to prevent overheating from fast charging. It's very compact, too, with the prongs able to flip up, making it a great travel charger as well. Make sure to get a good cable for it, too (sold separately).
