Cable CoreParts Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone adapter by CoreParts

The CoreParts Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone adapter by CoreParts is a wired adapter cable designed to convert a Lightning output on Apple devices into a standard 3.5 mm analog headphone connection. It enables audio playback and voice call functionality with wired headphones, in-line remotes, or auxiliary inputs in car and home audio systems that accept a 3.5 mm jack. The adapter provides a straightforward physical interface when a device lacks a dedicated 3.5 mm port.

Advantages

This adapter offers a compact and portable solution for connecting Lightning-equipped devices to 3.5 mm analog audio equipment. It maintains simple plug-and-play operation without additional software, supports both music playback and microphone/voice call functionality when the connected headset supports it, and removes the need for separate docks or wireless connections. The design minimizes cable clutter and is suitable for everyday use with portable devices and fixed audio systems.

Suitable for

• Listening to music on wired headphones with a 3.5 mm connector
• Making and receiving voice calls using headsets with an inline microphone
• Connecting a Lightning-only device to car audio AUX inputs
• Using wired earbuds or external speakers with a 3.5 mm input

How to use

Insert the Lightning end of the adapter into the device’s Lightning port and plug the 3.5 mm headphone plug into the adapter’s jack. Play audio or answer calls on the connected device as usual; the adapter routes audio signals to the wired headphones or auxiliary input. If your headset has an inline microphone and remote, verify device compatibility for microphone and remote control functions. Disconnect by gently removing the adapter from the Lightning port when not in use.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, keep connectors clean and dry, and avoid excessive bending or pulling of the adapter cable. Use the adapter with compatible Lightning devices and 3.5 mm headphones or AUX inputs. If microphone or remote functions do not work, test with another headset to confirm compatibility.
