How to use iphone 7 headphones on mac?

Hi,


I'm wondering how I will be able to use my iphone 7 headphones with my computer? In the box that came with the phone, the adapter included allows me to make my phone compatible with aux cords....however, the adapter does not work in reverse order to allow my headphones to be compatible to plug into a aux cord outlet. Help.

iPhone 7

for the Lightening wired iPhone 7 headphones you need a 3rd party lightening to 1/8" (3.5mm ) adapter.

The apple one WONT WORK for connecting these headphones to a 3.5 mm jack

these are for connecting 3.5mm headphones to an iPhone 7, but nothing else.

At this time I have not seen a Lightening port to 3.5mm that has an inverted end to accept the headphone


the aftermarket Apple Airpods are bluetooth and do not require a physical adapter although to take full advantage of these headphones full set of features you need iOS 10 or OS 10.12 Sierra and an iCloud account.
