“This has been a great and innovative tool since Reference 3. Reference 4 was better, and Sound ID is better still. I can only recommend it highly for room calibration, and you'd be surprised if you knew how many existing 'perfect rooms' use Sonarworks. As an added bonus, their ever-expanding headphone catalog now has calibration for the headphones I use... I was surprised, as they're not common.

“Upgrade was easy. It's a big improvement i thought the only benefit would be simulation of airpods and such which didn't really interest me but the whole thing is better for sure”
“Last but not least you can emulate different spaces, like cars, mobile phones and so on, to judge these different devices, without leaving your working space. I don't want to miss it anymore.”
“Decided to upgrade from Reference 4 to soundID. since Reference 4's EOL was announced.
SoundID still unstable and higher latencies than before also buffer that worked before without a problem now brings crackles and/or stops to the playback engine.”
