Brainworx have announced the release of HEARS Perfection. The software applies personalised EQ correction based on a short listening test, and is designed to be used to compensate for natural hearing differences, age-related changes, or fatigue that can affect accurate monitoring.
Unlike room calibration tools which are designed to help balance speakers or headphones, HEARS Perfection focuses on the listener and their individual hearing ability. Users undertake a built-in listening test lasting around five minutes, which identifies frequency dips in the critical mid and high ranges and creates a personalised corrective EQ curve. Users can scale the compensation amount for dialling in more natural results, and the plug-in’s low CPU footprint makes it suitable for permanent use on the master bus.
Additional features include channel solo options (L, R, mid, or side) for precision listening, a bypass safety reminder to avoid accidental exports with correction active, and a redesigned modern interface with improved stability.
The plug-in supports VST3, AU, and AAX formats, running on macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon) and Windows 10/11.
Pricing & Availability
HEARS Perfection is available now via Plugin Alliance at an introductory price of $79.99 (regular price $129).
