Awesome
Oriison 24.08.2023
I use this with my Audeze LCD-X. They arnt 100% flat but the transients and soundstage is next level so this just puts it where it needs to be. I got the curve from Audeze for my set so managed to do a few custom tweaks to the existing profile and I believe they're about as flat as they can ever be.

Precision and accuracy in audio
egeor 13.12.2023
The Sonarworks SoundID Reference Headphones deliver remarkable audio precision, catering to both professionals and enthusiasts. Their flat, honest sound and plush comfort make every listening session a delight. Additionally, kudos to the developers for swiftly resolving a high CPU utilization issue on macOS through a recent update. Sonarworks has truly set a new standard in both audio quality and customer support!

So I bought this to see if it would improve my headphone mixing results, and I definitely think it does and it's very useful in that respect.

So thumbs up!

Extremely useful for night time mixing
Don_H 24.12.2021
This app does what it claims to: it compensates for the non-linearities of your headphones, and allows you much better translation. I’ll probably upgrade to the full package before long, if this version works this well.

The calibration is good.
Harshit 08.06.2024
The calibration is good and also you can get a feel for other types of headphones and few other listening environment. But the software has bug which they are still working on for about a year now, they have recently released a beta version and they say it will fix the issue. The bug is quite troublesome it messes with all audio processing it even crashes my Mac and UAD Apollo interfaces. I hope they will release a new version soon to fix that issue. Other than that I was happy with the product.

EDIT: They fixed it and its all good now for both SONARWORKS and UAD.

Very Good
K.Kay 07.01.2026
I'm mostly mixing with by trusty DT990 pro and I wanted a calibration software to be able to confirm that my mixes sound right. The SoundID Reference Headphones was the way to go.

The Software itself is very intuitive with excellent graphics and it contains a large number of headphone models including my DT990. The download/Installation was also very easy with no quirks.
The sound quality of the calibrated profile is completely flat hence you can take critical decision about your mix.
The software also contains emulation of different environments (such as car, large speakers, airpods) which is very helpful.

However the only thing I didn't like, is that in calibration bypass mode where you were suppose to listen you headphones without the software there is a slight difference especially in top end and it sounds slightly artificial. It is very close but not 100% if you listen your mixes initially without the software.
But again the way I'm using it, I tend to switch on/off the plugin in the Mastering chain when I want a flat representation of my mix and not the on/of calibration button.

Overall is an excellent software and I highly recommend it.
