It‘s a must have for headphone mixing and translates best from the various plugins I had so far. During mixing process I use the nearfield setting and check back on the midfield from time to time, which gives a great impression how the mix finally is perceived on good pair of studio monitors. The nearfield though is better for accurate mixing decisions in general while the midfield gives a more realistic bass representation, which should be taken into consideration during the mixing process as well. Great tool!

As they have the longest & succesfull experience on headphones processing, it was logic to me that they would make a good job on their speaker room simulation, and in fact I'm not disappointed. For the price, it is a great addition that doesn't blur the sound as other simulation might sometimes do, the transient stay sharp. And it doesn't take that much more cpu power neither. So, yes, this was logical to me.

When traveling this helps to check mixes on different speaker sets and environments. Emulates a nice spatial sound. Would recommend if you already great headphones that can handle the spaciousness.

The monitor emulation plug-in within SoundID Reference is a convincing tool for mixing with headphones! It sounds absolutely realistic!

The Add-on is a life saver when mixing and mastering music using only headphones.

I used a separate software for creating the crossfeed effect up to the SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring Add-on, but it was not as good and the spatial effect was not so apparent. Sometimes, I feel distortion in the low frequencies with some particular headphones - so a consistency issue again concerning different EQ profiles.
