is there a headphone adapter that works in the opposite

I’ve recently bought a new iPhone 8 which also came with the headphones that plug into the charging dock of the phone. This is fine, but I was wondering if there’s an adapter that would allow me to plug the headphones into an ordinary dock like on my computer or another device since I don’t want to buy new headphones. So basically is there an adapter that works in the opposite way as the ones intended for the new iPhones??

iPhone 8, iOS 13

There is no adapter for going from Lightning to 3.5 to plug it in to your computer.

By your description it sounds like you are looking for a microphone (opposite of a speaker). Or are you looking for a headphone jack adapter?


There is the Lightning to 3.5 Audio Cable https://www.apple.com/ca/shop/product/MR2C2AM/A/lightning-to-35mm-audio-cable-12m?fnode=97


Or a cheaper option is the Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter https://www.apple.com/ca/shop/product/MMX62AM/A/lightning-to-35mm-headphone-jack-adapter?fnode=97&fs=f%3Dadapter%26fh%3D458e%252B45b0 with a standard 3.5mm audio cable https://www.amazon.ca/AmazonBasics-3-5mm-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B00NO73IN2
