## Description

SoundID for enabled headphones lets you tailor audio to your hearing and preferences. Start by selecting compatible SoundID-enabled headphones (for example Drop THX Panda, Monolith by Monoprice M-TWE, grell TWS/1, or Drop TWS1X), run a simple A/B test, and save the profile directly to your headset for a personalized listening experience.

Built on Sonarworks technology used in over 100,000 pro recording studios, SoundID combines calibrated headphone profiles, personal preference, and hearing measurement with patented data-driven methods. The ecosystem includes devices like CORSAIR HS65 Surround and many 1MORE earbuds, with more partnerships coming soon. Learn more at sound.id and the enabled devices page.

## Review summary

Users overall praise the app for its simple setup and meaningful sound customization on the few supported headphones, but the usefulness on iOS is hampered by limited hardware compatibility, frequent connection problems, and the fact that EQ works only inside the app rather than across the system or streaming services.

### Pros

- Simple and fast to use
- Effective EQ customization that can improve sound on supported headphones (e.g., reduces bass boost, clears up the sound)
- Personalized sound profiles are saved and can be reused with compatible devices (e.g., Drop THX Pandas)

### Cons

- Limited to four headphone models on iOS; many common devices like AirPods Pro are not supported
- Frequent connectivity issues and crashes; often unable to connect
- EQ works only within the SoundID app and does not affect external apps or system-wide playback
- Cross-device/profile syncing issues between iOS and Windows causing profiles to not transfer
