Hello there. As I'm thinking about upgrading my phone to the 16 here in a couple months, do things like a lightning femail to USBC mail adapters exist? I have a pair of ambeos that I'd still like to use and it would be a shame for me to have them go to waste. Is their a version of these that already have USBC built in? Or if yall have any better ideas that I'm not quite with the times with, I'm all ears on that as well. Thanks. Feel free to move if this isn't in the right place. Deeply sorry.

Said official Apple adapter can be found at:

https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MUQX3AM/A/usb-c-to-lightning-adapter

, or the Anker Lightning To USBC adapter over on Amazon.

As for an alternative to the Ambios, check out the binaural mics from

, though keep in mind that the SP15s go outside your ears and not inside them.

I was not able to find an alternative to said Ambios sadly.

15 Pro here. I bought Apple's adapter to use with my ambio headset. it works, but the headset app doesn't recognize that the headset is plugged in via the adapter, so you can't update the firmware, turn on/off the voice prompts, or change what the slider button on the headset does.

The headset combined with the voice memos app and the action button is awesome though! Plug the headset in, hit the action button to record and hit it again when you're done. This works even without the app being open. The only thing I don't like is that the recording volume with the app is a little bit low, so I import the recordings into GarageBand and turn up the gain.

Good to know that the official Apple adapter does not see said Ambeo app.

And spotting this Reddit article I found from 6 months ago:

https://www.reddit.com/r/sennheiser/comments/1b5kter/ambeo_smart_headset_iphone_15_pro_max_anker/

, looks like the Anker adapter officially doesn't seem to work with newer iPhones either.

Glad ya found a work-around.

I wonder if Ferrite Recording Studio could also boost up the audio too. Same with Dolby On.
