“I was very impressed by the user-centric design of the app. The calibration experience was very smooth, and the UI very responsive in guiding through the many microphone positions.
As to the results, I haven't tested with a separate room eq solution, but subjectively it certainly corrected for my particular listening position better that I could manually (or at least better than I would have the patience to ;)).
PS. I like how the mic is packaged”
“i spent a week trying to use this softare and tryed to analize my room . but could never get it work. the software does not show my device available inputs . it can not be this complicated !. i lost alot of hours of my time . tried 3 diferent interfaces and had the same results.”
Hello,
Thank you for the review!

I am confident that we will get the software up and running in a timely manner.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
“I bought SoundID Reference for Speakers and headphones with the Measurement Microphone, and it has been a transformative experience for my audio setup. I used it to calibrate a pair of KRK V6 Series 2 speakers, and the results were impressive.
The calibration process was straightforward, largely thanks to the intuitive software interface and the precision of the Measurement Microphone. I noticed an immediate improvement in sound clarity and balance. The KRK V6 Series 2 speakers, which were already excellent, reached new heights in audio fidelity. The software identified and corrected minor acoustic imperfections in my room, resulting in a more accurate and immersive listening experience.
On a personal note, the improvement in sound quality has led me to consider expanding my audio setup further. I'm now contemplating adding a subwoofer to complement the calibrated system. The SoundID Reference has enhanced my current setup and opened up new possibilities for further audio enhancements. This product is a must-have for any serious audio enthusiast looking to get the most out of their equipment.”
“I needed a solution to help optimize my studio monitoring setup. I have a friend who uses SoundID with the measurement microphone, plus I've seen tons of professionals recommend it, so I gave it a shot. It worked incredibly well and once the process was completed, I was immediately off and running producing better sounding mixes.”
“Works really well but for my setup there were a few limitations. Since I have two different pairs of headphones and two different monitor setups it is just too cumbersome to use the SoundID Reference software -- I would need to use both the standalone for my computer audio and then the plugin on my master bus in all the DAWs I use. Then I would need to change those any time I changed my headphones or monitors (which is frequent). Luckily, you can export profiles and use them in DADMAN software. This works great... except... I have a 5.1 setup which I didn't pay the extra $$ for and more importantly, YOU CAN'T EXPORT HEADPHONE PROFILES! This was a surprise to me after buying the software and it seems like it would be possible to export the headphone profile -- it's no different than a speaker eq curve. I understand why they don't allow it -- someone could just post the profiles online and ANYONE could use them (whether they bought the Sonarworks software or not). At the same time, this means I really can't use the headphone profiles which is a huge part of why I bought this software. So overall, I'm pretty disappointed with the purchase.”
“It's too early to judge if the ultimate outcome, i.e., improving how mixes translate, is reached but so far so good. I like that you can store multiple profiles for speakers and headphones and switch between them.”
