NAD Viso HP50 review: Find out why this headphone is an audiophile favorite

The well-designed and comfortable NAD Viso HP50 ($300) is all about clean, natural sound, making it an audiophile-grade headphone that won't break the bank.

The NAD Viso HP50 offers impressively accurate, clean sound and is well designed and comfortable to wear. It folds flat for storage in a nice carrying case (which is included) and comes with both a straight cable and one that integrates an Apple...

Somewhat expensive; some remote features may not work with Android devices.

The NAD isn't head and shoulders above the competition in its price class, but it does sound really good and should be given careful consideration if you're looking for an audiophile-grade headphone that won't break the bank.

NAD VISO HP50

A set of headphones designed for use with Apple products but they work on other devices, Apple do have high standards – as well as high prices – so the headphones here give excellent sound quality as well as a good frequency range.

Yes as we mere mortals using a PC know Apple kit is expensive and these are designed for Apple use but they work just as well with a PC or audio system. Open the box and you know it’s luxury, first way it can be closed again as you do not have to...

NAD HP50 Headphones Review

Over ear headphone with 40mm drivers

Clean, open and engaging sound ; Impressively sensitive ; Useful set of accessories

No noise cancelling or bluetooth functionality ; Non-remote cord might be a little short for home use ; Design not as attractive as some of the competition

Taking on the existing challengers in this especially design-led segment of the headphone market is no simple task for any company’s first effort but NAD has done a phenomenal job. Helped along by access to some excellent R&D from the excellent PSB...

NAD Viso HP50 Black

The headphone comes in three colors -- black, red and the white you see here. It's well constructed yet fairly lightweight for a full-size headphone, weighing it at 8.0 ounces or 226 grams. As far as extras go, it comes with two 4.2-foot (1.3m)...

NAD VISO HP50 HEADPHONES

The NAD HP50 are good critical listening headphones with a unique look and a decently durable design. They have a well-balanced sound and a stable fit that's good enough for sports, but they're a bit too tight on some heads. They also do not block a...

Good audio reproduction. ; Easy-to-use and stable design.

Poor noise isolation. ; Tight and slightly uncomfortable fit. ; Bass delivery varies significantly across users. Sensitive to glasses.

NAD Viso HP50 Over-the-Ear Headphones Reviewed

Bob Barrett auditions the NAD Viso HP50 over-the-ear headphones, which were designed by Paul S. Barton of partner company PSB.

The NAD Viso HP50's sealed design provides effective isolation from environmental noise while also managing to sound more like you're listening to music from loudspeakers in a room, with a more natural, open, and three-dimensional sound ; The NAD Viso...

The gloss finish of the ear cups picks up fingerprints easily

In the NAD Viso HP50, I've found a closed-back, audiophile-grade headphone for everyday use that sounds more like an open-back design and has a more reasonable price than typical audiophile headphones. The Viso HP50's balanced sonic presentation makes...
