It serves its purpose.

It plays audio so you can hear if your headphones are backwards or, your earbuds are on the wrong ear. The app does have advertisements at the top however, the advertisements are small and is not really distracting.
5/5. The app serves its purpose without any catch (besides the small advertisement at the top but, it is very minor.)

Not only for headphones

It also works on your phone speakers. Pretty useful if you need it! Just please make it more complex. It would be a better app. Overall pretty good!

Invaluable…

I’m not embarrassed to admit that this fantastic little app has become an essential app on my friend’s and I’s iPhones… It really is an invaluable tool for anyone seriously into listening to music through Bluetooth speakers and who frequently change their speakers location around either the house or when taking the speakers away from home. The fact that it is a free app makes it all the more sweeter. Invaluable!

This app helps you quickly verify if your headphones are on the correct way around. It plays distinct audio cues for the left and right channels, allowing you to easily confirm proper orientation without needing to remove your headphones.

How do I use the app to check my headphones?

Simply open the app and tap the speaker icon on the screen corresponding to the side you want to test (left or right). The app will play a test message for that specific channel. It automatically pauses any other audio that might be playing.

Is the Headphone Check app free to use?

Can the app be used with other audio playing?
