About Headphone Check
Quickly check your headphones are on the right way round – without having to remove them!
Simple, quick, and easy to use + free.
Imagine the situation: you’ve just put your headphones on and turned the light out to go to sleep. Or you’ve just set off walking somewhere with your coat and hat on.
How can you quickly and easily check you’ve put your headphones on correctly? Simply start this app and tap the appropriate speaker on screen to play a left or right test message.
Already playing other music/audio? It will be paused when the app opens. You can also darken the screen if it’s too bright.
