If I have a 3.5 mm plug on my device, can I use that for mic input and use this for headphone output?
In particular, I have a nice mic input that has cross-talk with the headphones. That goes away if I use Bluetooth headphones but they add latency. If I could send the signal out through this, I think I'd be all set.

AnswerI couldn't get the mic to work at all using the lightning port adapter with several different pairs of 3.5 mm headphones. So I'm 99% sure this wouldn't work. Sorry1 :(

Can I use this adapter with traditional headphones at the same time as using bluetooth headphones?
This would allow two people to watch the same thing using headphones. It would be perfect for watching movies during a flight.

Best Answer:Yes, but it seems to be picky about the order in which you plug things in. Plug the adapter into the phone first, and then plug your headphones into the adapter.

Best Answer:In a word, yes.
The adapter works perfectly with my Beats Solo 2 Headphones that have the RemoteTalk cable.

Will it work with a Rode Video Mic
would this support a Rode video mic, one with a 3.5mm jack that would normally be used with a DSLR camera?

Best Answer:In short, Yes.
Long Answer:
I do video production using iPhone cameras, gimbals, and Røde Mics. I was hesitant to upgrade from my iPhone 6s Plus, because of the uncertainty regarding this exact issue. Still, the temptation of DOUBLE the on camera storage (from 128 to 256GB) and the enticement of the new dual lens camera (optical and digital) were enough to make me buy the 7 (while keeping my 6s along with its trusty headphone jack, just in case...) LOL!
The Good news is:
I just tested my Røde SmartLav plugged into my new iPhone 7 Plus' Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter and recording with FilMic Pro. It works when plugged in directly, and it work when plugged in to my 25ft TRRS extension cable.
I haven't tested my Røde Video Mic GO nor my Røde VideoMicro (which I normally use with the TRS patch cable plugged directly into my JVC GY-HM170U Ultra HD 4KCAM as a backup audio capture separate from the Røde NTG2 Condenser Shotgun Microphone plugged into 1 of the 2 XLR channels) yet, because I am waiting on the new SC7 3.5mm TRS to TRRS Patch Cable Adapter I just ordered from Amazon, but in theory, since the SmartLav was automatically recognized my the iPhone through the Lightning Adapter the other two mics should work just as well.
Since I too had the same question and got NO answer before I got to test it myself, I hope this helps!

Is this lightning headphone jack adapter is capable of putting out 24 bit audio?
Almost every phone is capable of putting out 24 bit audio which is why most CD have better sound like in the studio. It was a rumor that with the lightning hit a phone adapter it will give us lossless, or higher sound quality than the previous iPhone

On devices with both Lightning and 3.5 mm audio, Will it be possible to use both audio outputs simultaneously?
Will it be possible to use both the built-in 3.5 mm headphone jack AND the lightning to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter simultaneously? I am thinking in terms of using this as an alternative to a headphone splitter. If this is possible, would you be able to independently control the volume of each output?
- Asked by Jacob R from Carlsbad

- Flag as inappropriate (On devices with both Lightning and 3.5 mm audio, Will it be possible to use both audio outputs simultaneously?)
Best Answer:No, it does not appear so.
At least on an iPhone 5s with iOS 10.0.1, it only sends audio out to the headphone jack OR the Lightning-to-headphone adapter, whichever is plugged in last.
If you have both plugged in and remove one, it switches to the other for audio output.
Finally, if I boot the phone up with both plugged in, it seems to default to the Lightning-to-headphone adapter.- Answered by Ronald M from Sacramento
