Hears Plugins

Important News!


Thanks for visiting! Let’s answer the most common questions we’ve been getting:

1. Is there an upgrade path from the original HEARS plugin?

Yes! All existing HEARS users are eligible for an upgrade to HEARS PERFECTION for just $19.99.

2. I’m a previous customer—why haven’t I received the upgrade offer?

There are a couple of possibilities:

  • It may have landed in your spam folder.
  • Or, we just missed you. (We’re a two-person team—Toby here, and Doug over in Nashville—doing our best to keep up with a growing worldwide community!)

On September 10, 2025, we sent over 2,000 emails with upgrade vouchers. But a handful of our customers didn’t get theirs.

👉 If you’re a registered HEARS user and didn’t get your voucher, just email support@hearsplugins.com with your license info and we’ll get your code to you right away.

3. Why did you make a new plugin instead of updating the original?

Because what started as “just an update” turned into something way better.

After launching HEARS in 2021, we partnered with Plugin Alliance in early 2025. That meant our little plugin got handed over to their in-house dev team at Brainworx (and let us tell you—they’re amazing).

We thought they’d just patch a few things… instead, they rebuilt the whole thing from the ground up, resulting in a smoother, more powerful version of what we always dreamed HEARS could be:

  • A stunning new, resizable UI that looks and feels great to use
  • Easy installs—no more issues
  • A better, more accurate (and better sounding according to some users) EQ for truer mixes
  • A more accurate hearing test with Mute and Back buttons, so you can test with confidence
  • Extra monitoring options: Mid, Sides, Left, Right so you can really zoom in on every part of your mix

We honestly couldn’t be more excited—or more thankful—to have Brainworx and Plugin Alliance bringing our vision to life.

4. Why is HEARS PERFECTION sold here and on Plugin Alliance’s site?

The plugin (as well as updates and support) is the same at both places.

When you purchase through our site (checkout here), you’re also supporting us as a small business, which helps us keep creating new tools to make mixing easier and more efficient. You can also purchase from Plugin Alliance , and we’re grateful for your purchase either way.

Our goal is to help people hear their mixes better, so whichever way you buy, if HEARS PERFECTION makes a difference for you, we’re happy. 🙂

A Personal Thank You ❤️

Every purchase you make here helps us and we can’t thank you enough for being part of this journey with us.

If you’re loving HEARS PERFECTION, we’d be so grateful if you left us a 5-star review at the bottom of this page on our site and at Plugin Alliance’s Hears Perfection Reviews Page— we’ve gotten hundreds of 5 star email reviews, but the 5 star reviews on these sites really help others discover the plugin!

And if you’ve got friends or colleagues who might be interested, please send them our way: hearsplugins.com. Word of mouth is the best support we could ask for.

Thanks again—we couldn’t do this without you!
