I was having difficulty finding an adapter for this. What you may need is a Lightning (Female) to 3.5mm (Male) adapter. I found a few on the internet however no guarantees how they would perform.


Your best bet in this situation is to use your old pair of headphones, with the 3.5mm jack, if you have them OR just buy a cheap pair of headphones just to use with the MacBook Air. You can always consider getting bluetooth headphones as well.
