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.

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.
