headphone adapter for iphone 7?

I recently bought the iPhone 7 plus and it came with the adapter but the headphones are the correct ones the end is the lighting cable. Picture provided. I want an adapter from the lighting cable to a aux cable so I can use them on my iPad (which is quite old) and my laptop. My other headphones broke so I want to use these ones. Everywhere I look they only have aux to lightning and I want the other way round. Anyone know what it's called or where to find it cheaply? Thanks

I totally know where you're coming from with this question, but, as of yet, that "reverse" adaptation isn't possible, nor has anybody produced a simple adapter that can adapt that lightning connection to a 3.5mm headphone jack.


I would assume producing that kind of adapter would be somewhat difficult given that digital audio (Apple's proprietary lightning connection) would need to be converted to analog audio (3.5mm jack).
