The present invention relates to a mobile terminal capable of efficiently controlling reception of an incoming call in a state that an external terminal capable of assisting audio output is connected with the mobile terminal and a method of controlling therefor. Specifically, the present invention relates to the mobile terminal including a wireless communication unit configured to communicate with the external terminal, a sensing unit configured to detect a movement of the mobile terminal, an audio output unit and a controller, if a first movement is detected by the sensing unit in the middle of receiving the incoming call in a first configuration state of which an audio output is performed via a first external terminal, configured to accept the incoming call and switch to a second configuration outputting an calling signal for the accepted incoming call via the audio output unit instead of the first external terminal.
