To make this review, the software maker sent us the plug-in and a pair of Sony MDR-7506 measured in their headquarters. If your headphones are not on the list, you can always buy the plug-in by itself ($69) and, even if the end result isn't perfect, it will be entirely satisfying. Among the selected models so far are the Beyerdynamic DT880, DT770 80 Ohms and DT990, Audio-Technica M20x, M40x and M50x, AKG K141 MKII, 240 MKII, K 702, K712 Pro, and K701, Sennheiser HD598, HD280, HD650 and HD600, Sony MDR-7506, Shure SRH840 and Superlux HD681. The number of models is limited, but constantly expanding.
It's yet another solution, maybe less precise and not customized, but much more affordable.
This individual calibration service costs $88, one-way shipping included (there is currently an offer whereby you get 50% off the regular price).įinally, along with this system, the Sonarworks team regularly buys several copies of the same pair of headphones to measure them and establish an average frequency response. The second solution consists in you sending them your favorite headphone pair directly to Riga, in Latvia, that is, so that they can measure them and send them back to you with a customized calibration file. The first one is to offer the software bundled with a pair of headphones ( Sony MDR-7506, Superlux HD681 or AKG K 712) they have previously measured in their lab to offer you a more precise and customized calibration. The software maker offers two solutions to this problem. How can you cater to everybody given the heaps of brands and models available? What's more, two pairs of headphones of the same model can sound totally different.
The first problem Sonarworks had to face was the massive amount of different headphones on the market. Does it, really? Let's have a closer look … Fly me to the moon The software can supposedly correct the frequency response of your favorite cans. This year, the Latvian company has taken another step forward in the same direction, but tackling headphones this time around. But, while the latter uses the Audyssey technology ─ a company specialized in calibration ─ Sonarworks has its own R&D and an algorithm that works with no less than 16,000 correction bands. Sonarworks is a very young company that started to make a name for itself in 2014 thanks to a software that allowed you to calibrate your speakers with a measurement microphone and software - similar to IK Multimedia's ARC.
