Apple Lightning to 3.5 mm Audio Cable (1.2m) - White

I’m a music producer, and I mainly use this cable to connect my AirPods Max to my Mac or audio interface when I need to listen without latency, or when I’ve forgotten my studio monitor headphones. I’ve tried several third-party Lightning to 3.5 mm cables before, but this is the only one that has been consistently reliable for my setup. The audio quality is clean and stable, with no dropouts or connection issues, even during longer sessions. Yes, it’s more expensive than other options, but in my experience, the cheaper alternatives didn’t last or introduced small issues that made them impractical for serious listening. If you need dependable, low-latency audio—especially for music production or professional use—this cable is worth it. <3

I read the reviews, the good and the bad. For reference the photo has a lightning cable (OEM Apple charging cable) in white and this audio cable in black. It is indeed pretty thin, but as an old timer who remembers the way back days of wired headphones (lol sarcasm) it’s pretty typical of wired headphone cords. I ordered this to use my AirPods Max with my Steam Deck during flights. After way too many hours in /r and trying to get my headphones to work via Bluetooth and failing, I gave up and went for the cable. At $30 it was worth it for me, they plug right in and work great, flawlessly even. The sound quality is good, I don’t notice any real difference. As far as durability goes I’m not overly concerned. The cable will live in my case except during flights.

unfortunately this is the only cord that will work for the airpod pros. It does work great and i have tested many others! very expensive for a silly cord but it does work! it’s pretty long too, i think around 4 feet.

Bought for my airpod max so I can use them with my ps5. The cable is so thin and flimsy.

I can confirm this is an authentic Apple cord and is bidirectional. There are no other bidirectional lightning to 3.5mm cords on the market so you will have to pay out for this cord if you need it. I ordered this to use with my Gen 1 AirPod max on my ps5. Plugged it into the controller and now I’m getting excellent audio and I can use the controller mic for in game chat or party chat. I can’t talk about the durability as it’s brand new but the cord is on the thin side so you will need to be careful with it but I do expect it to last if treated well. Easy to use, connection is great. 5 stars.

I mean, it works. For the price, not worth it. Super thin and flimsy. Unfortunately, this is the only thing you could use for the Airpods Max though.

works great on my AirPods Max (lightning version)

This expensive cable Does Not Work As Audio Cable With iPods Max! Most of the "lightning to 3.5mm" cables sold are for CHARGING (power) and will not work to deliver AUDIO (sound) to headphones, such as the iPods Max, which operate with lightning cables. This particular cable was specifically advertised as being (ONE OF THE VERY FEW) AUDIO cables, which should have allowed me to plug in my iPods Max (the really big fancy Apple headphones) to my laptop or pc and to thereby be able to hear dialogue or music, etc. played by the computers in a wired connection. NO SUCH LUCK. This cable DID NOT deliver audio. Alas......

Muy buen producto, me impresionó, la verdad.

Works well thus far

Worked perfect right away. Just a tip your headphones will need to be charged on some models for the cable to work properly which is probably why some reviewers had trouble. Cable is thin but light and durable and the coating is non-stick so it doesn’t tangle which was great on the plan! Little pricey but worth it to be sure it worked properly.

Turns my AirPods Max into regular headphones so I can use them with a non-apple or non-Bluetooth device. Only connects headphones, not the mic. But I can still use the native noise cancelling and the AirPods Max have some built in volume adjustment as well. It’s a nice light cable like the old apple headphones, not thick like a charging cable. You barely notice it when it’s plugged in. Overall 5/5 for sure

Lamentablemente son la única opción para usar AirPods Max con cable , y digo lamentable porque el cable no solo es caro si no que se siente frágil y no de acorde a su precio , pero funciona como debería eso si
