Lightning to Mac

I think you will find that lightning earphones can only be connected to iOS devices. That, of course, excludes Macs.

Hmm, interesting question, like seventy one I suspect the answer is currently it is not possible.

There is also the fact that Apple recently sent out a questionnaire about removing the headphone socket from MacBooks. This might imply they will be replacing it with something else.

Your new iPhone with the Lightening earphones came with a little adapter cable that allows you to convert the Lightening plug to a regular 3.5mm plug. It was packaged on the back of the cardboard earphone packaging.
