Description:
This compact Lightning to 3.5mm adapter lets you use wired headphones and external microphones with modern iPhones and iPads while keeping audio quality close to the original. It is useful for listening in the car, connecting to portable speakers or for hands‑free calls, and the Lightning to 3.5mm adapter for iPhone supports wired controls and a microphone for simple plug‑and‑play use.
Key Points
The adapter is certified for compatibility, which reduces connection errors and allows inline remote functions to work with many headsets. It supports audio playback and microphone input, so you can keep using wired earphones for music, calls and basic volume controls. Build quality focuses on interference reduction and durability, with a braided exterior to protect the cable and strain relief at both ends.
For those who value measured audio, the adapter offers a sample rate of up to 48 kHz and a noise filter designed to preserve a clean signal. Note that the manufacturer states it is not compatible with iPad Pro models that use USB‑C rather than Lightning, and some Android earphones with OMTP wiring may not support volume controls. 🎧

When using in a car, plug into the aux input to play audio from apps that output through the Lightning port, and verify inline controls on your headset function as expected. For voice calls, the built‑in microphone on compatible headsets should transmit clearly, however performance can vary depending on the headset wiring standard.
Positive Aspects
The MFi certification contributes to reliable compatibility with Apple devices, and the aluminium alloy plug improves resistance to electrical interference. The cable’s reinforced cover helps prevent fraying with repeated use, which is useful for those who plug and unplug daily. The adapter supports both playback and microphone functions while keeping a small footprint, making it easy to carry in a bag or pocket. ⚙️🔌.
