“This was the missing step in leveling up my mixing. I perceive no latency issues even on an older computer. Would recommend using for anyone who needs to mix on headphones.”
“I’m really happy that SoundID Reference for Headphones is available as a download-only product. The instant access is a major plus—being able to download and install it immediately after purchase means no waiting for shipping or dealing with physical packaging. It’s also more convenient, as I don’t have to worry about losing an activation key or damaging an installation disc.
Additionally, the download-only format is environmentally friendly, reducing unnecessary plastic and paper waste that often comes with physical products. Overall, the process was smooth, and I appreciate the flexibility of being able to install it on multiple devices without hassle.”
“I use 3 different sets of headphones depending on the application at hand. Made them all sound great and much more consistently uniform in sound. Disabling the reference EQ really shows how colored they all were. That was kind of shocking based on how much I paid for one set in particular.”
“It works well as a DAW master bus plugin, and I’d recommend it to anyone for music production tasks. However, as a system app, it occasionally becomes unresponsive on Mac M2 Sequoia 15. Restarting resolves the issue. But that's an issue that asks for improvement, isn't it?”
“Having to produce, mix and master with headphones can be tricky when you can't afford to treat your room. Using SoundID Reference I can do all my musical work confident that it will translate well on other systems. The software is intuitive to use and it's great that you have the option to apply the correction system wide or just in your DAW as a plugin.”
“Mixing on headphones, balancing kicks and bass is tough to hear, especially in the sub region. This software allows me to trust what I hear, making better decisions. Saves time. Love the speaker simulation as well. 10/10.”
