Overall, Apple customers tend to particularly care about quality and are more likely to buy great headphones. Bluetooth sound quality is rather poor still, and the battery dependance disrupts a work day. There's also speculation that they cause tumors. Therefore one needs cabled Lightning headphones for the iPhone 7, 7+


So: Lightning-ready headphones should work on the iMac / MacBook / Mac Pro too!


There should be a: Female Lightning to Male 3.5mm Jack adapter - to use those Lightning ready headphones on the MacBook and a myriad of other devices!


If anyone finds one, please post it here.

****, that's a good point.


I have these great sounding 3 armature earphones currently w a 3.5mm jack, but the Apple Jack to Lightning dongles keep breaking!


So I was considering getting the Shure Lightning cable for the earphones. I guess that's out of the question. Either that, or use some crappy headphones on my Macbook = that's the annoying part.


Still though, since Apple took out the 3.5 jack, there should be an option for LP earphones on the mack.

Hello Tony,


What you can do, is buy another Lightning adapter to regular jack audio from Apple, which is available as an accessory.

You will then have one for your iPhone (the one that was in the box) and another one that you will most likely use for your Macbook.

That wouldn't help -- the Mac doesn't have a Lightning port. And Apple doesn't offer, or at least I haven't seen any adapter that is 3.5 mm male (to plug into the Mac) on one end and Lightning female (to accept the new iPhone 7 headphones). I suspect someone will offer them soon if they aren't already available from some source.
