A headphone calibration software delivers consistently accurate studio reference sound on your existing headphones. An education license can only be activated and used on a single machine at a time compared to three devices with a standard license.

The software includes presets of more than 500+ headphone calibration profiles. With an applied headphone calibration profile, the software sets the frequency response target to be completely flat across all audible frequencies. The headphone frequency response target is designed to emulate neutral-sounding speakers. With calibrated headphones, you can seamlessly switch between speakers, headphones, and rooms. You’ll hear a flat, consistent sound wherever you go.
