It enhances the frequency response of my NDH-20 to the point where the highs gain more clarity and the NDH-20 typical slight bump in the low end is compensated for by flatting it out. This makes mixing so much more enjoyable and precise.

With Reference ID I can now put on any pair if headphones I own and have exactly the same sound which you can tailor in an intuitive way to your liking. This thing completely ended my hunt for the perfect headphones. Thank you Sonarworks.

So far I've really been enjoying the control and features of Sound ID Reference - I feel like it's really helping with my mixes! It's also a really easy plugin to use in Protools.

It took me almost a year of trying DIY methods of flattening the frequency response of my headphones until I finally decided to buy SoundID Reference. What a loss of time and energy! Should have invested in this Sonarworks solution right from the start. As my recent experience with it seems to show, it allows me to reduce my listening level and consequently reduces ear fatigue... More experience will show if I'm right.

Absolutely necessary for any home producer. Especially if you can only make music late at night and have to use headphones. Lifesaver really.

It's not only great to "flatten" the headphones frequency response. It's great to fake referencing on other setups, such as NS10's, car speakers, iphones and such. I would say it's not the same obviously. but it's close enough so that it really helps clarify the translation on other systems. it could be done with other eqs, but it's an in a handy plug in window with an extra dry wet control. Worth it!
