What this adapter does

This two-pack lets you connect Lightning EarPods to USB-C phones, tablets and laptops. It handles audio playback and call control but does not support charging or data transfer.

Who it suits and who it does not

Works with iPhone 15 and 16 series, recent iPads, MacBooks, Galaxy S20 through S23 models, Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5 and Pixel 4 through 7. It will not work with Sennheiser headphones, lavalier or wired microphones, external speakers, card readers, CarPlay, keyboards or mice.

Installation and common issues

No driver is needed; just plug the adapter into the USB-C port and the EarPods into the Lightning socket. The aluminium shell is compact and durable. The only common issue is trying to use it with unsupported accessories or expecting charging or data functions.

Questions about this item

Do I need to own Apple EarPods with a Lightning connector for this adapter to function?

Yes, the adapter is designed exclusively for EarPods that have a Lightning plug and will not work with other Lightning headphones, microphones or accessories.

Will the adapter work if I keep using my older iPhone 15 or iPhone 16 alongside a newer USB-C phone?

It is compatible with iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 series devices that have USB-C ports, as well as iPad Air, iPad Pro and MacBook models.

How can I confirm the adapter is delivering lossless audio after I plug it in?

The built-in DAC chip provides distortion-free playback; you will hear music and calls clearly and the inline remote on the EarPods will control volume and answer calls without installing any driver.
