Due to an untreated room and all of that, I primarily mix with cans.  I have two sets of headphones that Sonarworks supports, the Sony MDR-7506 and the AKG K240 Studio.
 
There is a 21-day free trial, so I'll go for that, and I read a few threads on this plugin, watched two video reviews, mostly positive.
 
Just wondering if there's any additional scoop from y'all.
 
Thanks.

Been using it since they added my KRK's... it's awesome, really helps getting a better eq on the final mix. If you're using cans, it's a no brainer... cheap and effective... This is the opinion of all of us who've commented on this in the past... try a google search... lots has been said on this already.
 
Oh, and ur ears should tell you all you need to know... just remember to disable the plug when exporting...

Ditto what Vastman said.  It took my ATH-M50's to where they should
be and helps the mix translate better overall...love it!

Wish they had a profile for the Sony V-6

Also been using it with my Sennheiser HD650 cans which they support. Definitely made a difference in my final mixes.

I agree. I bought a pair of ATHs and this software really helps. It helps you hear those little problems. I use it with MCompare and IMO it helps get better mixes.

Agree to all.  I bough the plugin with the AKG K240 calibrated from them.  It is awaseome the clarity and flat response you could get with the plugin.  I have two aKG K240 headphones, one calibrated by Sonarworks, and one that I use with the average response curve.  In my personal opinion, there is an improvement with the calibrated headphones so if I were you I would send my headphones for calibration or I would buy the plugin with calibrated headphones.
 
Just my 2c

I bought a pair of the REALLY CHEAP ($30.00 on Amazon) Superlux HD681s because they have a profile for them.  I can say that when I turn off the plugin the superlux phones are a little on the annoying side with boomy bass.  I am used to Sennheiser (Lower end HD210s).  The Supeluxs with the plugin engaged sound very smooth.  I think I might pull the $69.00 trigger.  I have a couple weeks left on the trial to go...

Transformed the way I mix! Totally worth the cost. I stalked them for months for them to add the KRK headphones. Great team to work with. Very customer centric.

Send them an email and ask them to include those headphones. That's how the KRK got include. They are a great group of people to work with.
