Isn’t there such a thing like a lightning input to 3.5 mm output? There is a ton of USB-A input to 3.5mm output out there but have never seen one that is lightning instead of USB-A

[@TechThatDoesntByte]

I've been looking for one but it doesn't look like there is one.

[@TechnoFreak-IN]

none

[@kaleiya.]

ikr ive been looking for one too

[@babygurll7]

Thank you for asking this! I can't believe one does not exist. This is crazy!

[@kaleiya.]

@@babygurll7 FR IT WOULD BE SO USEFUL

[@lorenzobrandimarte1427]

It's better to buying earpods with 3,5 jack included..

[@bluepeanutgaming3205]

What about if you use a desktop (3.5mm) Jack

[@9852323]

That’s good they sell a USB-A version of the adapter. Not everyone has USB-C on their computer.

[@andrefagundes1969]

I've tried this with Apple's adapter. But my XPS (Dell) just don't accept it. No sound. I have tried both USB C slots.

[@rvgamerspc]

Has anyone tested if the volume control is fully functional with this adapter?

[@liil5311]

Please can anybody tell me how can I connect my USBC Apple earpods to iPhone 14

[@PsychoFisho]

Warning Update: Anker no longer produces this product, nor any equivalent. Of the other major apple accessory manufacturers, they also stopped producing this type of product. A generic no-name-brand product remains available on Amazon, at $29

This does not answer the question - I want to use the audio jack input of my Mac with my lightning headset. is there an adapter for this?

[@leopol462]

most likely, america has almost everything.

[@munimmisbah2180]

that kind of adapter is almost impossible to find where I live. Dammit Apple why do you always make everything hard?

[@AlexOlveraG]

What happened if I need to connect this to a windows computer? Where can I buy it at this time? I cannot found on Amazon

[@xxzzsss]

I live in indonesia i can’t find lightning to usb eventhough online 😢

[@rce2245]

Just buy 3.55mm version of these earpods. One less dongle to worry about losing

[@_hustlr]

any indian alternative and cheaper thaan this although?????

[@terryward1422]

My UGreen USB-C to Lightning Audio adapter does not work. The Sound preferences do not list the USB port in the sound settings. The device is a 2019 MacBook Air running centurea.

[@TechThatDoesntByte]

Hi Terry. I'm sorry to hear about the issue. Does your adapter work with other devices with a USB-C port such as an android phone or another computer?

[@Top_genes]

New launched apple pencil adaptor has female lightning port where we can connect our apple earphones

[@kcnairnair7299]

Finally, I will let my almost unused lightning earphones to rest. Many thanks for this advice!

[@navneetupadhyay8983]

Is there is anything that connects my type C headphone to I phone.

[@lorenzozs]

Thats not a pc, is a mac

[@TheRat3dRGAM3R]

Can i use this on a ipad pro?

[@BirthOfDeathTones]

this did not help

[@cadubyington2704]

I wanted to use this in combination with my Apollo Twin, I was wondering I could create an aggregate device an hear the Apollo output through the adaptor?

[@TechThatDoesntByte]

Hi Cadu. Technically it should work, but I have not tested this scenario with an audio interface device like Apollo Twin. If you're using a Mac the Audio MIDI Setup should let you add the lightning headphones via this adapter.

[@Top_genes]

Bro try it with new apple pencil adaptor

[@TechThatDoesntByte]

Hi Technical doctor. Thanks for the suggestion! I'm also curious if the new apple pencil adaptor will work with the lightning. Stay tune as I am trying to get the adapter for testing.

[@andrewhersabyl6759]

Does it work with apple pencil adaptor?

[@TechThatDoesntByte]

Hi Andrew. I tried it but unfortunately the apple pencil adapter will not work.

[@andrewhersabyl6759]

@@TechThatDoesntByte Ohhh thats sad.. Alright thanks for the information :)

[@j2kca]

I bought the anker adapter and other brands 4 times and each stop working after months of using them under windows. now all of them show up in device manager as "LZ B Bootloader" and doesn't register as an audio device.

[@AlexOlveraG]

Is not working with windows?

[@moonmixes7535]

will it work on windows ?

[@TechThatDoesntByte]

It should work on Windows, but I can't confirm as I don't have a Windows computer with USB-C ports. Anker's description list Windows as a supported device.

Can you use the EarPods mic on pc? I love the mic quality and would like to use them on my pc.

[@TechThatDoesntByte]

Hi Nicholas. I am not quite sure if the EarPods mic while using the adapter will work on a PC. I did not have a PC to test out the adapter. I recently acquired a PC desktop so I might do further testing on this.

Do you know if the $10 apple pencil adapter works for audio? Apple sells a lightning to usb c to connect first gen apple pencils to the newest ipad, would that adapter do audio ?

[@Dr.Yogi.techie]

[@TechThatDoesntByte]

Hi Jonathan. The adapter should work with any computer as long it has USB-C port. On Anker's website, it says that it supports Windows 10 computer.
