Does Apple have a USB-C -to- Lightning Audio Adapter?
I am trying to connect a urbeats3 (Model: MU992LL/A) to my MacBook Pro. I performed a chat with Apple - they could not find an adapter that goes: USB-C -to- Lightning
Here is what I found on Amazon: Anker USB-C to Lightning Audio Adapter. Would it work?

uhh.. maybe... the urbeats 3 with a lightning connector is for iOS devices , eg iphone and ipad. The urbeats with the 3.5 mm plug works with everything.. and can be used with your iPhone with a 3.5 mm plug to Lightning adapter.. but the lightning adapter you mentioned is probably for sync and charging.. it may work with audio.. i’d suggest buying one and trying it out.. well.. i’ll be doggoned .. looks like it should work just fine... huh... didn’t know such a thing was possible.....
It does mention you’ll have to do a one-time setup..

Thanks for the firsthand feedback.
Any knowledge of a USB-C -to- Lightning Audio Adapter that Apple makes? I can't come across one on their site.

OK? So, have you tried this adapter? These headsets do not charge. They do not have the 3.5mm AUX plug. They have lightning plugs. Thing is, I'd be using it on a MacBook Pro - not an iOS device, as mentioned.
can't seem to find one that Apple makes, they do keep a cluster of connectors at the local store that are for sale but not listed on the website. If you have an open store near you, might be worth dropping in and asking.

Yes, I, looked in to that. It will not work - it needs to be the other way around, essentially. The headset only has lightning - so, the lighting end needs to be female.
17 of the 35 ratings that contain "macbook pro" have 5 stars. So it's almost half (when put in quotes) I plan to return it if of no success.
Update: I've purchased the Anker USB-C to Lightning Audio Adapter expecting date of delivery is on Tuesday - look forward to an update then, as to whether or not it worked.
