dSONIQ has introduced a major update to its audio plugin designed to help you mix with headphones. Version 2.0 of Realphones comes with improved sound, new features and a selection of additional emulations of studios, homes, and public spaces, acoustic systems, and devices.

Realphones 2.0 is primarily about updated sound, which has become even cleaner, more natural, and realistic. We have added new emulations of environments and acoustic systems, both studio and domestic. Now you can check how your track may sound in a cafe, concert hall, on smartphones, and TVs. You can also explore new features, such as custom profiles that allow you to make adjustments to the headphone frequency response on your own.
