## Description

Headset Remote transforms your Android device into a powerful wireless microphone transmitter. By connecting your phone to a Bluetooth headset, you can instantly transmit voice from the phone's built-in mic or a wired headset to your Bluetooth earbuds, enabling hands-free communication without phone calls. This is perfect for hosts, performers, students, or anyone needing live voice monitoring in noisy environments.

Key features include support for Bluetooth and wired headsets, voice transmission over a 10 meter range, and a recording function that saves live audio in high-quality WAV format. Whether you're hearing a speaker in a large classroom, monitoring a baby's cry from another room, or enjoying TV audio while exercising, Headset Remote offers a versatile and private solution without requiring cellular connectivity. Please note it requires appropriate Bluetooth headset compatibility and is not a medical hearing device substitute.

## Review summary

Overall, the app does what it promises for live listening, but reliability issues—background operation, Bluetooth pairing, audio glitches, auto-off, and login problems—drastically reduce its usefulness. Addressing these would significantly improve user satisfaction.

### Pros

- Enables live listen on Android (works as advertised)
- Generally good, useful and works as expected
- Useful tool for monitoring/listening

### Cons

- Does not run in the background; stops when screen is off or phone locked
- Bluetooth connection problems; devices not recognized or frequently disconnect
- Audio delay, glitches, and odd noises when devices disconnect
- Auto-shuts off after 30-40 seconds
- Login/kick-out stability issues; sometimes can't log in
