It works flawlessly.
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) itâs 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 donât notice any real difference. As far as durability goes Iâm not overly concerned. The cable will live in my case except during flights.

Cable works!
I got this cable today and connected my APM to my PC, and it worked flawlessly! The sound is a bit better and louder, but could just be my ears. The cable is expensive and itâs the ONLY one that works for AirPod Max if you want to wire them to a device.

Works for using AirPods with ps5
I got this cord so I could use my AirPods Max with my PS5. Happy to say this cord works! You just plug in the headphone Jack part of the cord into the controller and the lightning part into the headphones. I personally donât think that this cord is worth $35 because it feels flimsy and made of cheap material; not the normal material apple cords are made of. Iâll just have to be gentle when handling the cord. But it seems that this is the only cord on the market that works for what I needed it to do.

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

It works, butâ¦
It is an extremely flimsy cable. I mean, really? Itâs the size of a pencil lead, if that big. It also cuts volume and the sound band is quite narrow. I used it on my piano with AirPods Max. Iâll try it for a while, but at this point Iâm inclined to return it and just keep using the analog headphones Iâve been using. I was hoping for better quality sound, but it doesnât seem to be there.

Legit Apple Product for my AirPod Max & PS Portal
I bought this cable to connect my AirPod Max headphones (lightning connection) to my Playstation Portal (3.5 aux). The Portal doesn’t have bluetooth (boo) and you can’t use the USB-C port for audio either (double boo). I tried using the old lighting to 3.5 adapters Apple provided when they stopped putting headphone ports in the phone, but those don’t work.Long story short, IT WORKS!!! And it works well. Now I don’t have to buy a pair of wired headphones just to play with my Portal. This product is really only useful if you have AirPod Max headphones and you need to connect it to a headphone port. And if that’s what you need, this really the best way to do it.

This is the BEST cable if you want to listen to AirPods MAX on a plane
SO – when I bought my AirPods MAX – I bought them with the intention of being able to listen to the audio on a plane. My initial thought was: awesome – all I need is a lightning to 3.5mm cable and I’m SET! No need to buy an expensive bluetooth adapter and no need to worry if it’s charged / will last long enough for the flight or movie. SO – I bought the cord for something like $10 and was feeling happy about it… until I tested it… it didn’t work… My heart sunk – did I just spend $500 for headphones that won’t serve my #1 use case??Good news is no – I didn’t… I just spent $10 on the wrong cable.Pretty much every lightning to 3.5mm audio cable on the market right now is what’s called: Uni-Directional. Meaning that it will only work in one direction. MOST of these cables were made to plug your iPhone into an audio speaker or car stereo… they work ONLY when the sound goes from the lightning plug into the 3.5mm audio jack. HOWEVER, AirPods MAX need to work in the other direction… pushing sound from the 3.5mm audio jack into the lighting port.THIS Apple cable (and yes – it’s WAY more expensive than you want it to be), is BI-DIRECTIONAL – meaning it will transmit sounds in both directions… In short: it solves the problem and allows you to listen to the movie on a plane (or any other sound source that has a 3.5mm audio jack).So get this bi-directional cable and solve your AirPods Max issues!

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.Itâs a nice light cable like the old apple headphones, not thick like a charging cable. You barely notice it when itâs 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 deberÃa eso si
