IQIYI Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter,Audio Connector for iPhone 11/11 Pro/11 Pro Max/Xs/Xs Max/XR/ 8 /8 Plus/7/7 Plus, iPad , Music Control & Calling Function ,iPhone Headphone Adapter

First, here is a quick summary for those who dislike details. Performance and build quality are its strong points. However, the price is significantly higher than many others. Regarding performance, I evaluated the adapter (and regularly use it) using a pair of Sony MDR-XB400 headphones that have a microphone and a control switch built into the cord. Volume, pause and play, Siri access, and calling features all worked. Other features that require multiple presses and holds such as audio track advance and rewind did not. However, it is possible that these control features were not implemented by Sony in my headset. The fact that the adapter is Apple MFi certified would suggest that it has maximum compatibility with Apple devices. In selecting a Lightning adapter one should be aware that these adapters are not just cables, but that the adapter contains a surprising amount of electronics and that the design and construction of the electronics affects performance. The Lightning connector is a digital signal connector. The electronics in the adapter has to convert digital signals to analog for headphones, convert analog signals to digital signals for incoming sound from microphones, and process control signals. Selecting a lower quality adapter could affect performance as well as durability. There is also some confusion regarding adapters that include Lightning charging connectors along with 3.5-mm headphone connectors. See the additional explanations below.3.5-mm TRS and TRRS Connectors: Worth noting is that there are different versions of the 3.5-mm connectors used on headphones and headsets. The most common are TRS and TRRS. The letters in these identifications stand for Tip, Ring, and Sleeve, the characteristic parts on a male connector. TRS only supports stereo headphones while TRRS supports stereo headsets that contain microphones. A TRRS connector is required for telephone calling and most control features except possibly pause and play. TRS and TRRS connectors can easily be distinguished when viewing a male connector by observing the number rings. However, when viewing a female connector, there is no obvious way to distinguish them. This can lead to confusion in selecting an adapter.Adapters with Charging Connectors: Regarding Apple phones, iPhone 7 eliminated the 3.5-mm TRRS jack thereby transferring headphone, microphone, and related control signals to the Lightning connector, an 8-pin connector with 2 channels of digital data and 2 power pins. This resulted in the design and manufacturing of adapters with A-to-D and D-to-A converters to convert headphone, microphone, and related control signals for use with 3.5-mm devices. Detailed information is difficult to find, but it appears that somewhere in the interface there is a constraint that prevents full utilization of headphone, microphone, and control signals simultaneously with charging an iPhone. Accordingly, it appears that all adapters that contain 3.5-mm connectors either contain a 3.5-mm TRRS female connector without a female Lightning connector or a 3.5-mm TRS female connector with a female Lightning connector that can be used for simultaneous charging. Accordingly, adaptors with TRS connectors have fewer control functions than do adapters with TRRS connectors. Typically, adapters with TRS connectors work for stereo headphones and may utilize one control function (pause/play) while adapters with TRRS connectors work for stereo headphones containing a microphone and may utilize a host of control functions and permit the use of Siri and call functions.

I bought this about a year ago and after about 6 months it started only working if I plugged it in with the logo facing the back of the phone and then after 6 more months, it stopped working entirely fairly suddenly. It happened over 2 days where it would only work if it was pulled in a single direction and I had to guess the direction and then it just stopped working entirely. The phone wouldn't even register that an audio jack was plugged in.Other than that, the audio was good and I could still use the sound controls on the earbuds.

Does the job. I still have not converted to wireless headphones (don’t want anything more to charge!). I like the color (not white) since my phone is black and my headphones were also black.

About a week into using it I noticed there was a clear protective wrap on the lightning part of the connector as well as the input side once I took it off I found out it’s actually made of really durable material that’s cold to the touch I wanna say aluminum? Anyways great product lasts a whole lot longer than the crappy one apple gives you and looks better 10/10 would buy again

Excellent product— MFI certified— Works well with the newer iPhones up to the X, and even compatible with the new iOS 12 update! ( My old adapter stopped working with the new update!)

Lost my Apple one and most of the white Apple ones for sale are cheap knock offs. Either buy it in person from Apple or find a good mfi certified one like this. Works great

Finally! An adaptor that works without any background feedback! It’s more expensive than the others . I’ve ordered several different ones. This is first adaptor that worked !!

Product arrived on time on does the job I wanted it to do. It connects from my IPad to the headphone jack of my Bose Noise Cancellers. Perfect fit, very satisfied!
