Grrr Use of adapter for GA headset to Airbus XLR plug

Hi there,

I haven't found the answer yet, so I'm asking my question here (hope it's in the good section).

So I'm actually flying on the Airbus A320 and I want to use my Bose A20 but it's a twin plug headset as I used it to fly GA aircraft.
I found on Amazon an adapter from GA to Airbus XLR (looks like a little box) and I wanted to know if I can use it on the flight deck.

In the OMA of my Airline it's written:
Personal headsets may be used provided they are compliant with either:
• FAA TSO C-139
• ETSO C57a
• EASA Form 1
As I understand it, the certification is more about the headset rather than the adapter. Hence, I can use any of them as long as they don't affect the headset, there is no need for any certification.
Can somebody correct me about that, because it's not clear whether I can use it or not?

Thanks!
