Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter – MMX62ZM/A

Lightning to 3.5mm · Plug and Play

Your Wired Headphones, Back in Use

When Apple removed the headphone jack from the iPhone, millions of good wired headphones were left without a socket. This small adapter puts it back. It works with any headphones, earphones or audio cable that ends in a standard 3.5mm plug — from Apple EarPods with a 3.5mm plug to studio headphones such as the Audio-Technica M-Series, Bose and Sennheiser wired earphones, and the AUX cable in your car. Wired audio has no Bluetooth delay, which matters for gaming, video editing and music apps, and nothing needs charging. Because it is Apple’s own part, it carries Apple’s digital-to-analogue converter, so the sound quality is what Apple designed for the iPhone.

Check Your Port Before Ordering

This adapter is for devices with a Lightning port — the slim, flat connector used on iPhone 7 to iPhone 14 (including SE second and third generation) and on iPads and iPod touch models with Lightning. Apple moved the iPhone 15 and later, and recent iPads, to USB-C; those need a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter instead, and this one will not fit. The adapter has a single Lightning plug and no charging pass-through, so you cannot charge your iPhone through it while listening — for long listening sessions, charge first. If you are not sure which port your device has, look at the connector of the charging cable that came with it.

The Apple Part, Not a Copy

Cheap Lightning headphone adapters are widespread, and many stop working after an iOS update or crackle and drop out because they lack Apple’s certified chip. This is the Apple-made MMX62ZM/A, supplied new in its sealed Apple retail box, so it is recognised by your iPhone and keeps working with iOS updates. It is small and light enough to leave attached to your headphones’ plug or keep on a keyring, and many people keep a spare in a bag or the car. Simple, reliable and inexpensive — the easiest way to keep using headphones you already own and like.

Right choice if you…

✔ Have an iPhone 7 to iPhone 14 or a Lightning iPad
✔ Want to use wired headphones or a car AUX cable
✔ Want zero Bluetooth delay for games, video or music apps
✔ Want Apple’s own adapter rather than an uncertified copy

Consider something else if…

✘ You have iPhone 15 or later or a USB-C iPad — you need a USB-C adapter
✘ You want to charge and listen at the same time — there is no pass-through
✘ Your device already has a 3.5mm headphone socket
