Project Brief

"Silent Disco" has become a popular term in the party world over the last few years. Wireless headphones allow users to turn a silent atmosphere into a high-volume musical performance and make any festival unforgettable.

Lysn in app synchronizes music between iPhones so that any person can become a DJ and share music with friends via wi-fi to spice up a silent party!

With Lysn in you can easily:
- organize a silent disco party with your friends;
- become a Dj;
- stream audio from your iPhone media library, SoundCloud, or Spotify;
- connect an external device such as an external mic, mixer, guitar, etc.;
- create a live stream on the fly.

All you need is only your iPhone with headphones and Wi-Fi connection.

Feel the musical freedom and throw an event anywhere your singing heart desires!

Project Need

Lysn in is the world’s first app enabling anybody to connect any external audio source to their smartphone and broadcast the audio to friends and fans. Easily connect your DJ gear to your smartphone through the lightning / 30 pin port or headphone jack and instantly stream music over a low-latency wireless network to all who Lysn in.

Seamlessly add tracks to your playlist from your music library, SoundCloud or Spotify and get the party started!

Unlike other apps in this field Lysn in has no limitations in number of users that can take part in a silent disco in the same time!

In addition our Cellular Synch version of Lysn in allows to connect people from different places regardless user's Wi-Fi connection!

User Experience

Technically Lysn in works with just Wi-Fi. All listeners connect to a DJ which streams music to everyone. The number of listeners is limited only by Wi-Fi capacity. Also any person can turn into a DJ so you can become a person that streams music to the crowd.

A DJ can use different sources of music – the local Music Library on his iPhone, SoundCloud tracks, Spotify – and even connect an external device such as an external mic, mixer, guitar, etc. through any audio input device.

With a pocket Wi-Fi router you can listen to your favorite music with friends while biking or doing sports, so it’s useful even outside the silent disco parties.

Project Marketing

Lysn in's marketing strategy aims at improving the user experience by removing any barriers in social listening. Though following this goal right after the launch of Wi-Fi Synch version we started working on the Cellular Synch version to enable you to synch up anywhere your phone has a signal. Now it's available in the App Store so you can easily use Lysn in on the beach, in the park and even during the group rides!

The second big step both for us and for our users is a release of Android version so "silent disco" can be organized together by Android and iOS users and operation system preferences can't bother to throw a party anymore.
