lightning headphones MacBook pre USB-C

How am I supposed to use lightning headphones (delivered with new iPhone) with my MacBook Pro retina 2014?

Does Apple expect me to carry 2 headphones sets around or what?

Apple includes headphones with their iPhones that are designed to work with the iPhone, not to work with every device you have. If you don't want to carry two sets either buy the Lightning to 3.5mm adapter and a decent pair of headphones with a 3.5mm end and you can use it with both. Or buy some BT headphones and cut the cord.
