As a daily user of SoundID, I greatly appreciate the accuracy and calibration it provides. However, the experience could be vastly improved with automatic profile switching and better handling of device transitions. Here's a breakdown of the core issues and proposed enhancements:
1. Automatic Device-Based Profile Switching
- Problem: Currently, users must manually switch headphone profiles every time they change audio devices.
- Suggested Feature: Implement automatic detection of connected audio devices (e.g., wired headphones, Bluetooth devices) and switch to the corresponding saved profile automatically — just like Wavelet does.
- Why It Matters: This eliminates friction and ensures consistent, accurate sound without requiring repeated user interaction.
2. Separate Profile for Phone Speaker
- Problem: When no headphones are connected, SoundID continues applying a headphone EQ correction to the phone speaker, resulting in poor audio.
- Suggested Feature: Add a dedicated “Phone Speaker” profile or automatically bypass correction when the internal speaker is active.
- Why It Matters: Prevents misapplication of EQ curves and gives users better sound across all device contexts.
3. Global On/Off Toggle with Smart Logic
- Problem: There is no intuitive way to quickly disable SoundID processing across all devices, nor does it intelligently disable when it’s not needed.
- Suggested Feature: Add a master toggle that:
- Is easily accessible in the UI or notification shade
- Automatically turns off when no headphones are connected
- Resumes automatically when a known device reconnects
4. Streamlined Device/Profile Switching
- Problem: Switching devices manually takes too many taps.
- Suggested Feature: Improve the Devices tab UX by:
- Allowing quicker access from the home screen
- Reducing taps required to change profiles
Why This Matters
- Creates a truly seamless, professional workflow for producers, audiophiles, and everyday users
- Prevents incorrect sound profiles from affecting listening
- Brings SoundID in line with user expectations set by competing apps like Wavelet
- Encourages broader adoption and retention by simplifying everyday use
