Description:
This compact Lightning to 3.5mm adapter converts your iPhone’s Lightning port into a standard headphone jack so you can keep using wired headsets for music, calls, and podcasts. It brings studio-style audio using a 48 kHz, 24-bit DAC and keeps inline remote and microphone controls functional, making it practical for commuting, home listening, or work calls.
Key Points
The adapter comes as a two-pack in white and includes a built-in microphone with TRRS support for headsets that need a combined audio and mic connection. Controls for play/pause, track skip, calls, and Siri work through the adapter, and the product supports iOS versions 14 through 18. According to the manufacturer, the cable has undergone 15,000 plug and flex cycles for improved durability, which the brand equates to roughly three times the lifespan of standard dongles. Note that when using original Apple earphones, volume control may function through Siri or the phone buttons rather than the headset buttons.
This accessory is plug and play so no setup is required. It is useful when you want reliable wired audio without losing remote control features, and it includes two dongles so you can keep a spare in a bag or at the office. 🎧

Usage Recommendations
For best results, use this adapter with headphones or headsets that have a TRRS plug to maintain microphone and remote control functionality. If your headset is Apple-branded, consider adjusting volume via Siri or your phone in some cases because inline volume may behave differently with original Apple controls. Keep one dongle in a daily carry kit and the other at a fixed spot like a desk or bedside to avoid repeated plug removal stress. ⚙️
Because the adapter uses a DAC, expect clearer highs and a fuller midrange compared with passive adapters, particularly when listening to higher-resolution tracks or lossless streams. Active noise cancellation is hardware dependent on your headset. The adapter itself facilitates clearer calls by routing microphone input, but environmental noise will still affect call clarity in loud places. 🔊.
