Does anyone have a MacBook or MacBook Pro with a USB C port, an Apple Pencil with all of the accesories that came in the box, and an iPhone 7 with all of the accesories that came in the box? If you do, comment below!
 
The Apple Pencil don't have any accessories that came in the box. It's just a box, and the Apple Pencil.
 
I do. What are you looking for
Try this, take your Lightning EarPods and plug them into the Apple Pencil adapter (that allows you to charge the Pencil via the wall) and plug a Lightning Cable into the other end, then plug the Lightning cable into a USB C to USB A dongle

Now see if macOS sees the headphones and see if they output audio

Unfortunately, this is not possible. I like your thinking though.

The Apple Pencil lightning adaptor has a little ridge on one side of it that ONLY fits the pencil. Trying to plug a normal lightning or lightning headphone cable into it doesn't fit (it doesn't reach far enough in). I just tried it sorry mate.

Also I read somewhere that Lightning coupler adapter is power only. So no point trying to sand down the overhang to make it work.

Has a few other things in the box...a tip, (maybe 2?) and then a gender changer for lightning cable...

I do have all of those items + the box... + everything that came....
