COMMENTS
I'm surprised Focal didn't give you clearer guidance on this. A normal lightning cable will not work, it has to be both OTG and MFI certified.
I use this cable with my Focal Bathys and it works swimmingly and is a much more elegant solution than the camera kit.

I am on my third pair of Bathys. The main issue is their inability to work with my iPhone 15 Pro Max - as they pair, but sound very faint. I have reached to Focal and never heard back. In summary, if audio is your sole concern, the Bathys rock. If you plan to use them for calls as well, then you may want to make sure they work with your phone.
