Now No Need To Worry If Someone is Talking To You While You Are Wearing Headphones

Most of the users use head/ear phones to listen to music from their smartphones and one of the disadvantages of that is after putting them on you lose all track of the things happening in your surroundings. Of course some people do that to avoid crowded and noisy environment but when you are sitting at home where there is complete silence.

We are going to introduce a new app to you it’s called Around Sound. This app has the functionality to solve this issue and lets you keep track of your surroundings while listening to music. It is an Android app, it basically pauses the music when it detects a sufficiently loud noise.

Well, we have tested this app on our Android smartphone running Ice Cream Sandwich, and we assure you that it works as advertised.

It is very simple to set up this app. When you launch the Around Sound, options screen appears that offers to different options including Pause Mode, that pauses your music whenever a loud enough sound is detected on the other hand, we have Resume button, that resumes the music when the sound is stopped. You can easily set the trigger level of sound by sliding your finger over it and tap start to enable the service.

Working

Once you have configured and started the Around Sound, it will start listening sounds with the help of your earphone’s mic or your Android device’s mic. If it detects some loud sound, it will automatically pause the music playback and it will be playback that loud sound to you. Around Sound not only works with your Android stock music player but it also supports PowerAmp, Uber Music, WinAmp, DoubleTwist. It even supports MX Video player which means that it will also pause the video if a loud outside sound is detected.

A Very Useful App

Overall, it is a very interesting concept and in my opinion it can proved to be very useful when you are listening to music in your home and you want to keep track of your surroundings. It is available in both free and pro versions at the Google Play Store. The paid version comes with an extra “Street Mode”.
