Also known as Mic to Speaker - Virtual Mic, Virtual Mic
Send your iPhone or iPad microphone to speakers or headphones, with volume controls and automatic recording.
What Mic to Speaker does
Mic to Speaker turns an iPhone or iPad into a live microphone for a connected speaker or headphones. It supports Bluetooth, AirPlay and cable connections, continues with the screen locked, and lets you adjust volume, bass and treble. Sessions are recorded automatically, with trimming and export options. The app is free with ads and offers Premium; the exact paid feature split and billing period are unclear. It can amplify voices in a meeting or class, but no specific hearing-aid compatibility has been verified.
How it compares
Speaker output alongside headphone listening
Mic to Speaker can send nearby microphone audio to speakers as well as headphones. HeardThat also uses a phone microphone, but its supported output is personal listening through earbuds, headphones or hearing devices that can stream phone audio; it does not support external speakers. The output setup is the practical difference.

App Store ratings & reviews
Praise
- Older US comments from 2023–2024 describe hearing nearby or TV sound more easily, including one hearing-aid user report. They do not establish exact device compatibility or clinical benefit.
Complaints
- US comments from July–October 2026 describe frequent full-screen advertisements and difficult onboarding; some say ads play over the connected speaker. These are sampled user reports, not a measured ad frequency.
- Comments dated May 2025–March 2026 report difficulty finding recording deletion or object to automatic recording. One January 2026 Chinese-language review reports playback stuttering and an unusable seek control. Current control behavior was not tested.
Mixed reports
- Reports from 2020–2026 differ on audio quality: some describe convenient microphone relay, while others report echo, feedback or delay. Device setups vary and these reports do not establish measured latency.
