The free app lets you choose the headphones or earbuds that you’re using before stepping you through the process of setting up a custom SoundID listening profile, which you then upload to the cloud and link to the desktop SoundID Listen app. Sonarworks unveiled its SoundID mobile app at CES back in January. The SoundID Listen app takes control of your PC or Mac’s sound card and tweaks the audio based on the make and model of your headphones, as well your personalized SoundID profile. Today, Sonarworks is debuting the desktop component of its SoundID technology. The audio gurus at Sonarworks are hoping to fix that with their new SoundID technology, which promises to bring reference-quality audio to your cans while also tailoring the sound to your own sonic proclivities.
No two models of headphones sound alike, and they certainly don’t sound like what musicians hear in the recording studio.
