Overall, I'm satisfied, the only thing that bothers me is the strange sound that occurs when opening an audio file in an application (Audition, Winamp, ...)

An excellent software package that solved many problems with the acoustics in my studio bedroom. Before correction, low-frequency resonances prevented me from working with sound properly. But after measurement and correction, everything became MUCH better. My experience with it has been entirely positive so far. The software works stably, both in MacOS itself and in Ableton as a plugin. In short, I am very satisfied and will now recommend it to all my friends who tell me about their problems with the acoustics of their rooms :)

In my opinion, this software is an outstanding contribution to modern music and music production. Even minimal calibration results in a noticeable improvement in clarity and sonic accuracy. It significantly enhances monitoring confidence and decision-making during mixing.

I recently purchased SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones with the Measurement Microphone and I’m very satisfied. Setup was simple, calibration clear, and sound accuracy excellent. The website and documentation made it easy to find all the information I needed before and after purchase. Support was fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. My only suggestion is to keep expanding tutorials and real‑world examples. Overall, the product and customer experience exceeded expectations.

As a DJ and music producer, SoundID Reference has made a real difference in the way I hear my mixes. The calibration process with the included measurement microphone is quick and surprisingly accurate, and once everything is set up, the listening environment feels immediately more balanced and trustworthy. What I noticed the most is how the low end translates: kicks and basslines sit exactly where I expect them to be, both on my monitors and on my headphones. It removed a lot of the guesswork and helped me make decisions with much more confidence, especially on busy EDM drops.The sound becomes cleaner, more honest, and more consistent across different systems. For me, it’s become an essential tool in the studio. Highly recommended to any producer who wants a reliable reference point and tighter, more professional mixes. Carlo Ratto

Already get better mixes, found a bit tricky to make mesurements right, as I found slightly different mesures after several attempts. Would like to understand why the mesures distances appears to be smaller than reality as well. Correction sounds good and I got why I was struggling on few aspects of the spectrum, I did really make sense. Don’t really like linear phase mode as it swallows a bit transients but zero latency and mix works very well. So would ideally like a more precise measurement process but my speakers and room seems way more reliable now. Thanks a lot

I recently purchased SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones bundled with the measurement microphone, and overall I’m quite impressed. The calibration process was smooth and user-friendly the included mic made it easy to measure my listening environment and headphones accurately. Right from the start, the software guided me through setting up and running calibration for my speakers. Once calibration was complete, I noticed a real improvement: sound became more balanced, with clearer mids and lows, and a more neutral overall soundstage. For mixing and casual listening both, the difference was noticeable tracks sounded more consistent and balanced. What I appreciated is how comprehensive the system is. Having both headphone and speaker calibration in one package gives you flexibility. The measurement microphone included in the bundle removes guesswork you don’t need a separate mic. The workflow from measurement to tuning was intuitive and didn’t feel overly technical even if you’re not an expert. If I had one nitpick, it would be that for absolute beginners, the initial interface felt slightly overwhelming (lots of options and settings), but once you run through the calibration wizard, everything becomes straightforward. In short: if you care about getting accurate, balanced sound from your setup whether you mix audio, produce music, or just want better listening SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones is a solid and worthwhile investment.
