Have your phone listen around while you enjoy your music, movies and games!
*This is the paid Pro version with no ads, better battery life and more features than the free version *
Around Sound Pro allows you to listen to music, watch movies and play games while still being aware of your surroundings.
What it does:
Pro Street Mode:
+Walk down the street and only hear the noises above the set trigger level. Never interrupts your music.
For Games: Non-pause should work well. Request support for Around Sound's Pause Mode from your favorite game's developer.
Pause Mode:
+Uses your headset's microphone to listen for loud noises and pause your music or movie if one is detected, then play back the sound that triggered the pause and continues for a short period of time the optionally resumes your music or movie.
Non-Pause Mode:
+Uses your headset's microphone to listen for loud noises and dips your music, movie or game volume if one is detected, then play back the sound that triggered the pause and continues for a short period of time then returns to regular volume.
Bluetooth Mic Option:
Currently only works with mono headsets and some AD2P kind

Where would I use it?
+At the office: pause your music automatically when someone is trying to get your attention
+At home: Don't miss door slams, children crying, your dog barking, or other warning signs
+At the airport: Relax at the gate and have your music or movie pause when the gate announcements start
+Anywhere relatively quiet where you want to know if something happens around you
Best to use with:
Sound isolating earbud headphones with mic
- These are practically earplugs now, so don't miss out on what's around you.
You can use it with just headphones but be aware the microphone used is now your phone. So leaving it in your pocket wouldn't work so well.
How to use:
Make sure your headset is plugged in.
Simply start the app, push Start, see the noise level around you, set the trigger level by using your finger to swipe the meter, hit the home button to access your music app and enjoy.
Permissions Needed:
Phone Calls: Read Phone status (shuts off the audio processing during calls)
Hardware Controls: Audio Settings, Record Audio (to use the microphone, no audio is ever stored)
Bluetooth: To support Bluetooth microphone option
Broadcast Sticky: To support Bluetooth microphone option
Limitations:
-Needs Froyo or Above (Android version 2.2+)
-For Pause Music Mode: You can't be in a really loud environment otherwise the microphone input will be maxed out and there is no way to detect a louder sound. Use Street Mode instead
