Sonarworks SoundID Reference Headphones

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.

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!

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!

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 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.

I adds value to your already old headphones, and overall gives more reliable results when you're mixing on headphones.

Very nice sounding, translating variations and easy UI. Thanks SoundID!

Had my head phones calibrated by sonar work and are feeling much more confident with my mixes now .
