Connection between MacBook Pro 2021 audio port and iPhone headphone

I have a MacBook 13 pro 2021 with as 3.5 mm audio port

I haver an iPhone 11 Pro Max which headphone has a male usb C

Y need a 3.5 mm male audio to plug into the Mac in the Mac end and a usb C female to plug the iPhone male terminal. Searched the confines of the net and can't find an adapter or any combinations thereof to make the connection.

Do you have a solution?

Thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.3

It does not exist. Going for the 3.5mm analog connection back to the USB-C digital connection requires audio processing an adapter cannot perform. There is no real way to go from 3.5mm to USB-C without a massive processing unit.


Also Apple does not offer USB-C headphones at all. Only Lightning headphones. What exactly do you have?





If you really have some 3rd party USB-C headphones, then why can't you use one of the existing USB-C ports on the MacBook Pro for them?
