What customers say about "Key Specs"

Nad Viso HP30 On-Ear Headphones (White)

Natural sounding headphones with a nice low end. Highly recommend.
Clean, crisp sound translating the warm, open sound of live performance into headphones.
Midrange sound on this NAD is amazing. Great fidelity keeps the sound clean and smooth, without a hint of distortion or compression.
While not a wholly realistic experience, it is fairly immersive and I happy with this headphones.
The first thing I notice about the low end of the HP30 is the booming bass. It doesn't sound unnatural.

Nad Viso HP50 Black

Headphones that offer great sound staging, not simply between your ears but beyond them and in front of you with layers of depth.
Good placement of performers, and the ability to listen for long periods without fatigue.
They are well balanced across all ranges with very good bass, particularly with well engineered and mastered material.
Wonderful rich midrange, good instrument separation and focus, and very good detail in the upper ranges.
They are reasonably flat, detailed, and lifeless. This is like old headphones.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Nad Viso HP30 On-Ear Headphones (White)

Really like the build quality. Feels solid but not too heavy
The headphones are a bit snug, but not uncomfortable so. Also they are very light.
These on ear cans sound good. More bass than expected.
They look like a good traveling semi full sized, very light, ones nice design.
Pretty good little sized headphones, they do have interesting folding mechanism and it's easy to travel with them.

Nad Viso HP50 Black

Headband is a little hard and heavy. But, the overall construction feels very solid.
Zero comfort issues for me. My ears are large and actually found them able to fit in this small headphones.
They are very light and comfortable on your head. You can even forget about them on your head.
There is no feel of headphones on the head, as if they were not.
These headphones are so uncomfortable I can only wear them for about an hour. Too heavy and hard pressing.

What customers say about "Features"

Nad Viso HP30 On-Ear Headphones (White)

The ear pads are removable through smart design from AND. The entire cloth pad is held to the driver housing by magnets.
They have a great appearance and can fold up to be more compact.
The HP30 is fairly portable, though, as it relies on an interesting design where the right ear piece swivels forward and the left ear piece swivels backward.
While I don’t mind the on-ear design at all, that rubber padding is a little rough on my noggin.
It look as spazzy. Don't like looking like Frankenstein!

Nad Viso HP50 Black

Detachable cord is always a plus, too, as office chairs destroy cords.
They are very portable, and come with a nice carry bag and a clip - you could easily attach a sash or whatever to the bag and carry it.
Detachable wire from any ear with a 3.5mm jack. The wires are great for portable, flat and not long.
The cables provided are too short to use with my hi-fi.
There are no physical adjustment options, so you are relying heavily on it being a good fit.
