Apple Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter

This little adapter is a lifesaver for those of us still loyal to wired headphones. It’s compact, lightweight, and works seamlessly—just plug it into your Lightning port, and you're good to go. I’ve used it with my iPhone 14 Pro and older models without any issues, whether I'm listening to music, taking calls, or using inline mic controls.The sound quality is excellent—clear and crisp with no noticeable lag or distortion. And since it’s made by Apple, there's no worry about compatibility or error messages. The build quality feels solid, and the connection stays snug, even after frequent use. It’s the perfect travel companion too—toss it in a bag or pocket and never be caught without headphone access.If you're still clinging to your favorite 3.5 mm gear, this adapter is a must-have.

Needed a new one as my old had a crack in it. It does the job well! Compatible with my iPhone and provides the clearest sound quality!

I've had it six months now and it's still going strong like the first say I got it! I use this to play music from my iphone in a car with a cassette tape opening instead of an aux port. I combine it with a cassette to aux adapter (here is the one I use in case you're interested: "arsvita Car Audio Cassette to Aux Adapter, 3.5 MM Auxillary Cable Tape Adapter"). It was like 8 bucks for this and like 7 bucks for the cassette to aux adapter--well worth it to be able to play music in the car!!! Great build quality, reliable connectivity, easy to use. The cable is extremely short but I don't mind (the cassette to aux cord is long which helps).

Works as it should. Has one function and does that so can’t complain.

I guess I am old school, but I really love having a real 3.5 mm headphone jack, which is why I clung to my old iPhone SE for so long. That phone died and became way too insecure (no more updates), so now I am stuck with this adapter on a jackless (s/le/a/) phone.Positives:-It works, and it is from Apple, i.e. not a cheap knockoff.Negatives:-The edges on the 3.5 mm barrel and the housing surrounding the lightning connector are hard and abrupt (which seems like a very non-Apple design choice!), i.e. why didn't they fillet / smooth the edges of the hard plastic?-My Apple EarPods sometimes disconnected from this adapter connector when pulling on the cable trying to fish the phone out of my pocket.Directly related to this (and the cause of temporary minor emotional sadness lol) is that my phone just dropped while I was wearing my headphones. Since the connector disconnects fairly easily, the headphones detached from the adapter, causing the phone to continue its accelerating trajectory towards the ground. The impact bent the lightning connector, so now the adapter is dead.Despite my gripes above, I still need one. Unfortunately, this item (as of Jan 8, 2025) seems to no longer be in stock at Amazon or at Apple. I'm guessing it is discontinued (hope I'm wrong). RIP.

I'm on this page to purchase a new adapter just like the one (or 2?)I previously used, which seems to have been lost by the certain kiddo of mine who loses stuff as often as I do—or misplaced by me.Okay, first, so I first purchased the now-lost adapter from *this* listing/this seller, as Amazon points out at the top of this page. (See pic.)Second, even minor audio stuff is a bigger deal to me than (I really imagine) to most people, as my actual professional is that of a professional "art music" ["classical" musician, as most understandably say—but that term has some problems of which of course I'll spare you the details here]. So, all I'm saying is, I notice audio quality, & I have little patience even for arguably poor CALL quality or whatnot. For these reasons, I think I'm qualified to assure you.Last time I got this from this retailer, there was, as I recall, no concern about any generic-type packagIng—no concern about it being a knock-off immediately.More important, as this was my first such adapter, I remember being quite pleasantly pleased with everything about it. I used it with whichever iPhone(s) I had at the time for calls & on-the-go media listening, as well as a with my iPad Pro for listening, recording, etc., with earbuds when whatever I was listening to was not some huge deal, and for more-huge-deal listening with my beloved Audio-Technicas,, a [surprisingly great, particularly for noise cancelling] paid of Bose, or either of my "audiophile" young kids' high-end Sonys (&, btw, I'm not ax mum who gets my kids unduly high-end things, but I found those, obviously MAjorly mistakenly under-priced on Amazon Prime Now ~15 months ago, so I of course snatched those instead of getting the correctly priced cheap ones).NO PROBLEM AT ALL with this adapter, for however long I had it readily available (maybe over a year), & I've personally no reason to have believs the seller has "gone to the dark side" or whatever.BUT, as I'm ordering a couple of so more of these today for same-day delivery, I PROMISE you that if there's ANY problem, I'll add an addendum to this. Okay? (And, yeah, I KNOW a lot of folks say stuff like that, but they unexpectedly get too busy, or forget, or have become so fed up with Amz they can't tolerate anything concerning reviews. I get it. But, when it comes to anything that disrupts my music-listening or playing, I'll hop on Amazon to warn folks. (Not the case [as consistently] with so many of the not-well-considered, purchased, cheap clothing, my very rare "home decor" purchases or whatever.And, you know, I used to review thingx rather diligently because the review set-up used to be (long, long ago) really helpful. But now, there are so many maddeningly obvious fake reviews, and maddeningly non-obvious (paid-for)!fake reviews—sellersv getting pressured to hype their often-pointless drop-ship merchandise, or (even worse) sellers paying folks to rip apart competitors' wares. The system now has too little utility for me to bother with it.But, as I promised, if there's a problem with my new purchase here, I'll let you know. If I don't (by, like, early February 2021), you can assume I'm pleased as punch with the new purchase (or that something terrible has happened in, or to, my life—but as I'm confined to home, with good security system, & as we're in good health these days, just assume the news adapters all worked out.Okay. Metrorail stop coming up, so I'll end this odd review with verrbose, general commentary, Take care.

very useful when using my Z app
