“This amazing piece of software is the quintessential part of the music production puzzle! You don't know you need it until you use it!
Please use it!”
“The SoundID app feels like an integral part of my tool kit as a music producer. My only regret is not buying it sooner. It is very reliable, and consistent, and has plenty of features and options for any scenario I have needed. I was definitely impressed by the variety of preset options for headphone profiles, even including different earpad settings for my Beyerdynamic headphones.
The Installation and setup process was so quick and smooth. Being able to use this as a VST insert in your DAW has been very useful as well for use with a separate audio interface.
My favorite part of it (which I never expected it to be) is the option to easily mono audio output and swap stereo channels. Being able to use these to easily reference audio outside of my DAW with any incoming audio has been incredibly useful. The Translation Check presets are a very nice touch as well, especially being able to create your own.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase and I would definitely recommend this to others.”
“Works well and as intended. Took my Philips Fidelio XHR2 from unusable to my main headphones. My only complaint is when I use the software systemwide on my PC, then I can't use the mute function in Windows.”
“As someone who has only gotten into the audio game for a year or two the sonar works program is immediately noticeable with the increase in audio quality and clarity. Could not recommend it more if you are into high quality audio”

Die individuelle Kalibrierung meiner Beyerdanamic DT 1990 PRO (mit Analytic Pads) war subjektiv eine deutliche Verbesserung in Klangalance, Klarheit, Lokalisierungsschärfe Durchhörbarkeit und Authentizität. Allerdings seinen sie jetzt eine frequenzabhängige Asymmetrie (Mittenverschiebung) aufzuweisen, deren Ursache noch nicht geklärt werden konnte.
Ich würde auch ohne dieses Manko nicht so weit gehen, sie als Referenz zu nutzen. Hierzu fehlen ausreichend objektiv verifizierbare Informationen und wissenschaftliche Publikationen, wie Sonarworks zu ihrem Kalibrierungsziel kommt. Es gibt keine Informationen, unter welchen definierten objektiven Bedingungen und subjektiven Präferenzen ihre Daten erhoben wurden.

The individual calibration of my Beyerdanamic DT 1990 PRO (with Analytic Pads) was subjectively a significant improvement in sound balance, clarity, localization sharpness audibility and authenticity. However, its now exhibiting a frequency-dependent asymmetry (midrange shift), the cause of which has yet to be determined.
Even without this shortcoming, I would not go so far as to use them as a reference. For this, there is a lack of sufficient objectively verifiable information and scientific publications on how Sonarworks arrives at its calibration target. There is no information under which defined objective conditions and subjective preferences their data was collected.”
