Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
UGREEN US211 Lightning Male to 3.5mm Female Audio Adapter is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 2,450, brand new and sealed in UGREEN retail packaging. The UGREEN US211 carries Apple MFi certification with a genuine Apple authentication chip, outputs sound at up to 48kHz and 24-bit, and weighs roughly 8 grams on a 10-centimetre cable. An aluminium alloy shell caps the Lightning end, and a nylon-braided jacket covers the cord. Buy the UGREEN US211 at our shop, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
Kenya's iPhone owners keep hitting the same wall. The phone dropped its headphone jack, but the earphones, the car stereo, and the studio monitors did not. Matatu commuters who want wired sound without pairing delays, sales teams running back-to-back calls on wired headsets, university students in Nairobi lecture halls, radio producers feeding a mixer, and drivers with an AUX-only head unit all need one small part. The UGREEN US211 is that part. It puts a working 3.5mm port back on iPhone 7 through iPhone 14, iPad models with a Lightning port, and Lightning iPod touch units.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock uncertified dongles, Mascom International sells the UGREEN US211 with the MFi chip that stops the Accessory Not Supported message on iOS. Users consistently report that non-certified copies quit after an iOS update or cut out mid-call, while the UGREEN US211 keeps running. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand from customers who bought two or three cheap adapters before paying once for a certified unit. Walk into our Kimathi Street shop to test the UGREEN US211 on your own phone, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the UGREEN US211 Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Adapter
Does the UGREEN US211 work with my iPhone?
Yes, if your iPhone has a Lightning port. The UGREEN US211 covers iPhone 7, 8, X, XR, XS, 11, 12, 13, and 14 in every size, plus iPad 9, iPad Air, iPad mini, older Lightning iPad Pro units, and Lightning iPod touch models. Your device needs iOS 10.3.1 or later, which every one of those phones already runs. Plug it in, wait three to five seconds for recognition, then connect any 3.5mm headphone.
Will iOS show an Accessory Not Supported warning?
No. The UGREEN US211 uses a genuine Apple authentication chip and holds Apple MFi certification, which is what iOS checks before allowing sound through the Lightning port. Uncertified dongles sold cheaply around Nairobi often pass at first, then trigger the warning after an iOS update and stop working. MFi approval carries across software updates. That single detail separates a KSh 2,450 certified unit from a KSh 400 gamble.
Can I charge my iPhone while listening through the UGREEN US211?
No. The UGREEN US211 is an audio-only adapter with a single Lightning plug, so it occupies the charging port while in use. It passes no power and no data. If you need music and charging at the same time, Mascom International stocks two-port Lightning splitters that combine both in one accessory. For most buyers, a quick top-up before a matatu commute or a flight covers the gap.
Do the microphone and volume buttons on my headphones still work?
Yes for Apple and standard CTIA headsets. The UGREEN US211 passes microphone input, play, pause, track skip, and volume commands from the in-line remote straight to your iPhone, so WhatsApp calls, Zoom meetings, and Google Meet sessions run normally. CTIA-standard Android headphones keep microphone and call support but lose volume control. Older OMTP-wired headsets, found on very old budget handsets, are not supported at all.
How good does the sound actually get?
The UGREEN US211 outputs at up to 48kHz and 24-bit, above the 44.1kHz and 16-bit resolution of CD audio, and comfortably covers Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, and Boomplay streams. Built-in noise filtering holds hiss down during quiet passages. Enameled copper conductors inside the cable cut the current noise that causes buzzing on cheap adapters. Users report clean output on both earphones and larger over-ear headphones.
Will it work with the iPhone 15, 16, or 17?
No. Apple moved to USB-C from the iPhone 15 onward, so the Lightning plug on the UGREEN US211 will not fit. The same applies to the iPad mini 6, the 2018 and later iPad Pro, and recent iPad Air models, all of which use USB-C. If you own one of those, Mascom International stocks UGREEN USB-C to 3.5mm adapters instead. Message our team on WhatsApp and we will match the right part to your device.
Is the UGREEN US211 worth KSh 2,450 next to cheaper adapters?
That depends on how many times you want to buy one. Uncertified adapters sell for KSh 300 to KSh 600 across Nairobi stalls and commonly fail within weeks, usually at the cable joint or after an iOS update. The UGREEN US211 costs KSh 2,450 once and carries MFi approval, an aluminium shell, and a braided cable. Three failed cheap units already pass that price, with nothing working to show for it.
Can I use it with my car stereo or a speaker?
Yes. The 3.5mm female port accepts any standard AUX cable, so the UGREEN US211 links an iPhone to car head units, JBL and Sony portable speakers with AUX input, home stereo receivers, mixing desks, and conference-room sound gear. Many Kenyan vehicles, especially imported Toyota and Nissan models, still rely on an AUX jack rather than Bluetooth. This adapter closes that gap without replacing the car stereo.
How does the UGREEN US211 hold up to daily use in Kenya?
The 10-centimetre cable is short enough to sit in a pocket alongside the phone, which cuts the tugging that kills longer dongles. A nylon braid covers the cord, aluminium alloy caps both ends, and reinforced strain relief sits exactly where cables usually split. At roughly 8 grams it adds nothing to a bag. Coastal humidity and upcountry dust do not affect the sealed connectors during normal handling.
Technical Specifications
Audio Output and Sound Quality
- Digital-to-analogue conversion runs at up to 48kHz sampling and 24-bit depth, above CD-standard 44.1kHz and 16-bit
- Built-in noise filtering removes background hiss, keeping quiet passages clean during podcasts and recorded voice notes
- Enameled copper conductors inside the cable cut current noise that causes buzzing on uncertified adapters
- Analogue stereo output feeds any 3.5mm headphone, earphone, speaker, or AUX cable with no extra hardware
- Sound passes through with no perceptible lag, so video and lip movement stay matched on YouTube
- Apple lossless playback is supported, which matters for buyers streaming higher-resolution files on Apple Music
Apple MFi Certification and Device Compatibility
- Apple MFi certification with a genuine authentication chip stops the Accessory Not Supported message appearing on iOS
- Works with iPhone 7 through iPhone 14, covering the mini, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max sizes
- Supports iPad 9, iPad Air, iPad mini, Lightning-era iPad Pro, and Lightning iPod touch models
- Requires iOS 10.3.1 or later, a threshold every Lightning iPhone still in daily service already meets
- Not compatible with USB-C Apple hardware, including iPhone 15 onward, iPad mini 6, and 2018-plus iPad Pro
- Plug and play with no app, driver, or settings change; recognition takes three to five seconds
In-Line Controls and Call Handling
- Microphone signal passes through for WhatsApp calls, Zoom meetings, Microsoft Teams sessions, and standard cellular calls
- In-line remote buttons handle play, pause, track skip, and volume on Apple and CTIA headsets
- CTIA-standard Android headphones keep microphone and call functions but lose in-line volume button control
- OMTP-wired headsets, found on much older budget handsets, are not supported by this adapter
- Call audio routes cleanly through wired headsets, which suits sales teams handling long client calls daily
- Voice recording apps and iOS dictation pick up the connected microphone with no extra configuration
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- Aluminium alloy housing caps both connector ends, resisting scratches and casing cracks inside pockets and bags
- Nylon-braided outer jacket protects the cord against tangling, abrasion, and the fraying that kills plastic cables
- Reinforced strain relief sits at both cable joints, the failure point on almost every cheap dongle
- Cable measures roughly 10 centimetres, short enough to keep adapter and phone together in one pocket
- Total weight sits near 8 grams, adding no meaningful bulk to a laptop bag or handbag
- Dark grey anodised finish matches Apple space grey and hides fingerprints during constant daily handling
Practical Use and Connection Options
- Connects an iPhone to car AUX inputs common in imported Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, and Subaru models
- Feeds portable speakers, home receivers, and conference-room sound gear through any standard 3.5mm AUX cable
- Supports monitoring headphones for radio producers, podcasters, and video editors reviewing tracks on an iPhone
- Audio-only design carries no power or data, so the Lightning port stays occupied during playback
- Works as a backup when wireless earbuds run flat mid-journey, since wired sound needs no charge
- Single-piece build needs no pairing, so there is nothing to lose from a Bluetooth menu
