MobileConnect
Hear clearly. Respond effortlessly. Interact live.
Sennheiser MobileConnect turns your visitors' own smartphone into a personal listening and talk-back device. No more receivers to hand out, collect or disinfect: everyone streams the audio channel of their choice straight over your existing WiFi network, using the free MobileConnect App. Whether it is simultaneous interpretation at a conference, multilingual guided tours in a museum, or assistive listening for hard-of-hearing visitors — MobileConnect scales effortlessly, from a single room to hundreds of simultaneous listeners per station.

Multilingual guided tours
Museums, attractions and city walks let visitors hear the guide in their own language and at their own volume, without managing a fleet of receivers.
