Anker USB-C to Lightning Audio Adapter Male to Female MFi Certified

andowrites

I lost my Anker USB-C to Lightning Audio Adapter Male to Female MFi Certified that I was using with the Sennheiser Ambeo binaural headset. And I'm having trouble tracking one down here in the UK.

Can anyone suggest an alternative cable that's audio capable, that I might be able to get hold of here?

Thanks!

Hi. It looks like that Anker one is unavailable in the US also; may be discontinued. But maybe you can find this Apple equivalent in your region.

If you can’t get the one you’re looking for it might be worth biting the bullet and buying an Apple one. Sometimes MFI means jack shit when it comes to performance or longevity of a cable or adapter.

Great, thanks @uncledave.

If there is an apple adapter - get the apple one. A friend fried his ipad on a belkin lightning to usb-a adapter. We opened it up and the enclosure was just about empty inside. Don't try to save these measly amounts when its connected to something as expensive as an ipad.

Thanks @michael_m — I found a few Apple ones on eBay, assuming they're actually genuine, I also now found the Apple ones on the Apple store too. Just need to chase through the link.

Thanks guys. Problem resolved.

Just out of interest @andowrites, do you know whether the original Anker adapter you had allowed you to use the Sennheiser Ambeo headset with an Android phone with a USB c interface (and any other USB c equipped device)?

Apple adapters are always the best bet. However the problem with Apple adapters is they have an 89% higher chance of getting lost than any other brand. I don't know why this is, but it's a proven fact.

They do have a more rapid reappearance rate once you do give up and buy a new one than other brands though.

Hi Robin. I'm not clear. It will work with Windows devices. You can read the full spec if you scroll down the old Amazon listing for it here:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-USB-C-Lightning-Audio-Adapter/dp/B07R6MKJZH#:

Also, if you scroll down to the reviews on that page, the top review states:

Works perfectly with Lightning-headphones on Android devices, Windows10, Ubuntu, ChromeOS, DAPs...

Cool, thanks @andowrites. If it works with Windows devices that sounds promising that it’d work with any USB c device. Hope the replacement works for you - would be interesting to know whether it does or not so please let us know if it occurs to you. Cheers.
