USB C Headphone lead on iPhone 15 SOLVED (sort of)

Ok, but what if it doesn’t ask if I am trying to connect headphones or you accidentally press no?? Nothing I do will get the headphones to work 😭 I am super bummed.

…. And my Pioneer Rayz, with noice cancellation and Lightning, sort-of work on my iPhone 15, with the Apple lightning to usbc adapter. I get music but the rayz app does not recognise the headset so I can’t update its firmware or customise the buttons.

This is spot-on. I play music through my iphone into a mixer during gigs to play music for the house while my band takes a break. No problem with a lightning dongle to 3.5mm cable into my mixer for years. then bought an iphone 15 and it uses a USB C, so I bought the Apple dongle to connect and now the mixer won't recognize the 3.5 mm cable. Turns out that I have to loosely connect the 3.5 to my PA mixer, but tightly connect it to the phone dongle. It works, but if the cable gets bumped while playing music, I am sure it will break up or disconnect the sound. I am using a 2-ring 3.5 mm cable. Sheesh....

I also have a set with a Lightning lead which did not work with a 3rd party adapter. I bought an Apple Lightning to usb-c adapter and this set now works.

Please see my reply. You can make the pop-up appear again. I faced the same issue as you did. I hope the approach works for you as well. Thank you.

since I switched to the 15 I have not been able to do one of the apps that I use a lot through my earphones that would also pick up sounds at the microphone. Very frustrating. I wonder if they have a USB to headphone adapter piece that has three slots that will pick up the microphone

I’m hoping somebody can help me. I recently bought the adapter for my phone so that I could play it through my cars cassette deck. When I plugged in the adapter, my iPhone asked if it was for headphones. Since it was the adapter, I put no when I actually should have put yes. It gave me a message that I could change this in Settings but I can’t figure out how to change it. Would anybody know where I would have to go in settings to tell it that it is headphones that I’m trying to plug-in.

I solved this issue with a rather interesting approach. I have a V-Moda Crossfade M-100 Master that I wanted to connect to my iPhone 15 Pro Max using a standard Apple USB-C to 3.5 mm audio adapter. My phone screen was locked when I plugged the USB-C adapter + headphones into the phone and a notification popped up saying "Trying to connect an accessory" or something. I lost this prompt when I got an incoming call and the iPhone routed the call directly through the phone audio bypassing the headphones + mic setup.

I restarted my phone, connected the same thing and expected to see the prompt but did not. I had to trick the phone into thinking I was doing this afresh, so I pulled the 3.5 mm audio out and slid it in halfway into the adapter till I could hear the all too familiar audio noise in the headphones, and the notification popped up again. This time I selected "Yes" and audio + microphone came through. The setup works flawlessly now.

I hope this works for everyone who has an issue as well. Thanks!

P.S: My headset comes with a microphone cable, and a plain audio cable with 3 bands.

you need to re-order new ones, you may have got the wrong kind that are similar but a different company makes them and it familiar with it because i’ve bought the same kind. you got t make sure it says “apple usb-c earphones” always make sure apple is in the name, otherwise their going to be a janky kind

I had the same thing happen and didn't notice in the description it read "not for audio." So I purchased a different one that stated it was a converter for audio. It arrived today. have my Apple Earpods connected to it and tried it on my iPhone 15—works perfectly.

I have tried this and it still doesn't work. Why can't it be as simple as plugging the USB back in? this is so frustrating. I'm already using all apple products and the apple connector and I can't get the popup to come back

I have the same problem. Leeum118's solution didn't work for me.
