Not to mention that the jack itself would take a major hit if the phone doesn't fall top-first. Odds are, the lightning blade would break off inside the device with regularity under that sort of abuse, and there's a good chance that it would stretch the contacts inside the jack in the process.

Lightning is NOT an appropriate connector for headphones. It is approximately as far from an appropriate connector as you could POSSIBLY get.
