actually, my bigger question is whether someone has an adapter that allows me to plug headphones that only have lightning in to a phone that only has 3.5 - i suspect the answer is no as you need power. or an adapter that allows me to plug lighting headphones in to a usb port on my mac...
Apple could have likely easily supported analogue audio input on the Lightning headphones, with an adapter that was powered enough by the headphone jack itself to send a signal to the Lightning headphones to tell them to bypass their internal DAC and route the analogue signal directly to the transducers. That would have been the most efficient way to do it. A simple powered adapter wouldn't be that big a deal either, though converting an analogue signal to digital, just to get it into the Lightning headphones, only to then convert it back into analogue would be silly. Obviously USB-C and Thunderbolt would be the most practical adapter for moving forward, yet still nothing even rumored on the horizon. I have to wonder why. Of course as I pointed out, as long as headphones have detachable cables, there's no need for an adapter, though carrying around an analogue cable is a lot more cumbersome than a simple adapter.
However, I don't fault people for complaining about the adapter. It does pose additional problems in terms of keeping track of it, durability and wear, and just plain kludgy on the end of an otherwise elegant headphone cable. But the hyperbolic complaint that their old headphones were rendered useless is just plain silly.
