This add-on is definitely a nice feature to have, but could use a little bit of work. especially with how accurate the base software is, this sets high expectations for the add-on. While some of the EQ curves work pretty well, a lot of them feel very over-exaggerated. I was most excited about an "at-home" car listening test, but unfortunately none of the car speakers sounds like any vehicle I've ever been in. Additionally, the laptop and phone speakers may be accurate for 5+ year-old devices, but they are WAY too thin+tinny compared to actual phone speakers these days. Additionally, I would love to have the ability to measure/upload custom frequency responses to my actual devices. This shouldn't be too hard since the software's core feature is its calibration/measurement in the first place!

The add-on creates a very realistic reproduction of a monitor system. The models for a car, laptop or smartphone are also very helpful.

This add-on makes attentive listening with headphones much more enjoyable and reduces fatigue that I often sensed in longer Headphone Sessions!

I already work in a treated room and use SoundID Reference for final correction. But I tried the Virtual Monitoring add on and found it to be extremely helpful especially in double-checking the low end. I was so impressed that I bought it. Between the calibrated room, Avantones, calibrated headphones and now Virtual Monitoring I am more confident in producing well-balanced mixes and masters that translate effectively. A really useful tool - thank you!

Really liking this. It's made mixing so much better now there's a 3 dimensional element to the sound. Getting the right balance and effect levels is much easier and the results have improved substantially beyond the standard EQ'd headphone audio.
