Upgrading from Reference 3 or 4 Studio to SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones was a seamless and worthwhile experience. The purchase process was smooth, and all the necessary information about the upgrade was easy to find on Sonarworks' website. The download was instant, and installation was straightforward, with clear instructions provided. The upgrade itself brought noticeable improvements—enhanced calibration accuracy, better UI, and the ability to fine-tune the sound to my personal preference with the new target curve adjustments. The additional headphone profiles and overall performance enhancements made a real difference in my workflow. I had one minor question regarding the activation process, and Sonarworks' support team was quick and helpful, ensuring I got everything running without issues. Overall, this upgrade was absolutely worth it. If you’re still on Reference 3 or 4, I highly recommend making the switch—SoundID Reference takes accuracy and usability to the next level!

I bought the wrong product by mistake and customer services were very quick to enact a refund. Updating to Sound ID and getting the Apollo/Luna extension proved invaluable. The download was very effective and easy

Very useful to have different target modes. A bit expensive though.

The upgrade process was smooth as possible, although I noticed a difference of sound quality when I calibrated my headphones…

After not using Reference 4 for some time due to changing locations, with the new Apollo integration I decided it was time to upgrade to SoundID. I took my measurements, used an average Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (tweaked the EQ to 80% wet) and I'm not looking back. It's as if my speakers and headphones got an upgrade. Everything is clearer, it's easier to hunt for frequencies, my headphones are far less fatiguing (the DT770s are so bright!) and no more painful room resonances in the low/low mids. And I got to use the same reference mic I bought all those years ago. Really happy with how this worked out and love the ability to tweak the settings for each of my Apollo x8's headphone outs. Not just highly recommended, SoundID is essential.
