SonusQuest: Turns your phone into a real-time in-ear monitor — it captures the sound around you, removes noise, enhances speech, and plays it back through your earphones, so you can hear your own livestream. It can be used to practice pronunciation, reading aloud, singing, and memorization, and provides DAF/FAF training tools for people with voice disorders. Based on user feedback, some friends with hearing loss use it as a hearing aid. 1. Supports wired earphones and Bluetooth earphones 2. Supports the phone's built-in microphone, wired earphone microphones, and lavalier microphones 3. Supports hearing protection — automatically lowers output power when a sudden loud volume is detected 4. Supports long-duration loop recording, automatically splitting recordings into multiple files of a fixed duration 5. Audio noise reduction and automatic gain based on traditional signal processing algorithms — simple and practical, effectively filtering steady background noise and enhancing the human voice 6. AI-based intelligent noise reduction that efficiently filters irregular background noise, such as keyboard clicking, footsteps, knocking, the hum of a robot vacuum, and more 7. Audio latency can be controlled on demand: supports delay settings from 1 to 30 seconds, as well as millisecond-level delays from 0 to 300. It also supports real-time pitch shifting on the in-ear monitor output, which is convenient for friends practicing their voice. Some friends practicing vocalization would like to hear their own voice sound more like a male/female voice — we also provide a real-time pitch curve. 8. Supports a 10-band audio equalizer so users can customize their preferred tone. A default EQ preset for speech is built in, with one-tap reset. 9. Supports mono/stereo switching; each channel has independent gain and EQ settings — worth trying if your hearing differs between left and right ears

Pro Microphone - Studio Quality Mixer Turn your iPhone or iPad into a live microphone monitor with a built-in studio-style signal chain. Whether you’re rehearsing, hosting, presenting, or just checking how you sound through a speaker or headphones, Pro Microphone routes your voice from the mic to your chosen output with a focus on responsiveness and clarity. Hear yourself, clearly Tap the mic to start. Your voice is processed on the device and played back through the current audio route Bluetooth speaker, AirPods or other headphones, wired earbuds, AirPlay, or the built-in speaker (with smart handling to reduce nasty feedback when you’re on open speakers). Designed for real rooms Live monitoring can cause echo and squealing when the mic picks up the speaker. Pro Microphone includes feedback-aware options so you can start with safer presets or tune things yourself. Adjust Input Gain to control how hot the mic is, and use Volume Boost (200–300%) when you need more level in the room without losing the headroom you need when you’re loud. Shape your tone Dial in Bass, Mid, and Treble with a straightforward studio EQ. Add a light Pop Filter to tame plosives and rumble before the EQ. Choose Echo levels from dry to ambient when you want a bit of space perfect for practice or creative vocal effects. Stay oriented The input meter shows level in dBFS so you can avoid clipping, and status hints help you see how the system is treating latency and routing. If no external speaker or headphones are connected, the app can let you know so you’re not left wondering why everything’s coming from the phone. Bluetooth and daily use Pair your speaker or headset in Settings, then use the app as usual. For the lowest delay, wired headphones are still king; Bluetooth adds some delay by nature of the protocol but the app is tuned to keep the path as snappy as the hardware allows. Thoughtful touches Open How It Works from the help button for a full tour of every control. From the settings menu you can reach support email, privacy policy, and terms. While the mic is active, the display can stay awake so a quick screen lock doesn’t interrupt your session. Privacy-minded Pro Microphone is built around live monitoring: your audio is meant to be heard in the moment, not “stored in the cloud” as part of the core experience described for the app. Permissions are there for microphone (and Bluetooth when the system requires it) so iOS can route audio the way you expect. If you want a pro-style vocal check without a rack of hardware gain, tone, light effects, and flexible output routing Pro Microphone is your pocket studio mixer. Download it and tap the mic to hear yourself the way the room hears you.
