I doubt that you have iPad Pro 7 - as it doesn’t exist.


Not sure which iPad you have? Identify your iPad model.


If you have an iPad with a Lightning port, then the iPad will also have a 3.5mm headphone jack - to which you can connect standard wired headphones or wired ear-pods. You can also connect wireless headphones or AirPods via Bluetooth.


Should you instead have an 2020 iPad Air4, or 2018/2020/2021 iPad Pro, you will neither have a Lightning port or 3.5mm headphone jack. Instead you will have a USB-C port - to which you can connect a USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter:

You can then connect standard headphones or wired ear-pods as before. You also have the option to connect wireless headphones or AirPods via Bluetooth.


It follows that standard wired headphones or ear-pods with a 3.5mm plug are perhaps useful when travelling by airline - as this is the standard connector with which to connect to many aircraft in-flight entertainment systems.
