Send iPhone Microphone to Headphones: 30‑Second Setup
Published: 2025-10-31
Need a quick way to send the iPhone microphone to your headphones? With Heared, you'll amplify voices and reduce noise in real time. This is a simple listening aid, not a medical device.
30‑second steps
- Connect EarPods (best latency) or AirPods.
- Open Heared → Monitor/Listen.
- Tap Start; set Gain to comfort.
- Enable Noise Reduction and Limiter.
- Optional: Voice Focus for dialogue.
Better results fast
- Distance: keep the phone near the talker or TV; closer mic = cleaner sound.
- Direction: point the mic toward the source; try Directional if available.
- Latency: prefer wired for lip‑sync; minimize Bluetooth hops.
Common issues
- Hiss after boosting? Lower Gain and increase Voice Focus; huge boosts raise noise.
- Crackling? Close other audio apps; restart monitoring.
- No sound? Check iOS Mic permission and Silent Mode.
When this won't work
Very loud venues, long distances, or windy outdoors can exceed what phone mics can capture.
