I 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 :(
Yes, at least with Apple compatible headphones. I bought the adapter specifically to connect my Bose QuietComfort® 20i Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headphones for Apple® devices to my iPhone 6s through the 6s Smart Battery Case lightning port (because the Bose have a L-shaped connector that won't insert through the straight opening of the battery case).
The 3.5 mm to Lightning adapter allows full pass through of in-line mic and controls. On initial plug in to the Smart Battery case Lightning Port of the 3.5mm to Lightning adapter with the Bose, the controls did not work. However, unplugging and replugging the adapter with the Bose Headphones attached allowed the controls and mic to work.
As long as your headphones are designed to work with iPhones, then they should work with the 3.5 mm to Lightning adapter, at least on a 6s using a Smart Battery case. As I don't have my iPhone 7 yet, I can't speak specifically for the iPhone 7, but it works fine even through the Lightning port on the Smart Battery case with the 6s and the headphones I have tried. Again, sometimes you may need to unplug and replug into the Lightning port.
Of course!
No, it is not a portable amplifier. The Lightning socket is digital only; this product contains a small DAC to produce normal analogue levels for a 3.5mm audio docket. It sounds (to me, using professional monitoring headphones) identical in quality and output level to the iPad in-built DAC.
You probably need the "Rode SC7 3.5mm TRS to TRRS Patch Cable" to make it work. If you used the TRS to TRS cable that came with the Rode mic, I wouldn't expect it to work.
Yes. I use this product to connect wired headsets to my iPhone 7
The built in dac and amp in the apple branded headphone adapter is roughly on par with the ones built in the iPhone 6s.
Some tests show audio quality being ever so slightly worse, while some tests show it to be every so slightly better. Though most people wont notice any difference between the two.
Since the lightning connector sends out a digital unaltered signal compared to the analog jack, it does give you the potential to have better sound quality if you use a higher quality third party adapter.
If you want the best sound quality then use a lightning to USB adapter which will allow you to attach a very high quality hi res audio USB dac/amp.
Yes.
I can confirm that Apple is correct: this product does NOT work with iOS 9.3.5 on my iPad mini (1st generation). I expect that it almost certainly does not work with iOS 9.0.2.
This would allow two people to watch the same thing using headphones. It would be perfect for watchi
From tear downs I have seen, there is a tiny DAC in the plastic connector on the Lighting side.
