I know with the new iPhone 7 coming out with the new Lightning port to use as audio and I am completely cool with. I love the change. The only issue is that I want to be able to use those Included headphones with my Macbook Air. And I know that there is the $9 Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone jack Adapter. But I was wondering if there will be an adapter in the reverse....

Adam218 is looking for a 3.5 mm jack to female lightning adaptor. Your link points to a 3.5 mm jack to male lightning adaptor.
So far these are only available from a 3rd party and not Apple directly (don't know why).
I have found no adapters for this from any manufacturer at all. If you know of any a link would be helpful.
However the general reason is that going from analog audio output (3.5mm jack) to a digital audio(lighting female) requires power, and lots of circuitry, which would make any adapter a large bulky affair with a substantial price tag.
And unless people only own the headphones that come with the iPhone 7 or later, they already have other headphones they can use with their computer, and other audio systems. There's really very little point, when the solution is simply to use other headphones. Cheap and fast.
Have you found any reverse headphone jack adapter?
Nope, you would need a female lighning connector to make this work.
He means the other way around. 3.5mm headphone jack pin to lightening female.

Will there be a male 3.5mm to Lightning adapter to use my new lightning headphones?
