An app just launched for iPhone and iPod Touch claims to make headphone listening safer by letting in a limited amount of outside noise.
Awareness! The Headphone App allows you set the microphone on your iPod or Phone to pick up outside noises like traffic, car sounds or conversations and feed them into your earphones. You can control how much outside noise you want to hear.
It means that users will hear the world around them through the microphone and a headset – a funny concept.
Does an app like this exist for OS X?
Will have to download it and try it for myself but I think it’s an excellent idea.
