Deep Bass and an Immersive, Lifelike Sonic Experience

With memory foam ear pads for both comfort and noise isolation, NAD's VISO HP30 includes innovative RoomFeel™ technology for deep bass and an immersive, lifelike sonic experience. The headphone also features a convenient Apple 3-button multi-click remote with microphone so it can be enjoyed hands-free while multi-tasking or simply on-the-go. An extra stereo cord is included at no charge. Both cables are tangle-free, ribbon-style and detachable for quick changes and/or replacement.

Needless to say, the VISO HP30 also offers superb sound. What else would you expect from NAD?

High Performance All the Way

At the heart of the HP30 is a pair of ultra-low mass, high excursion 40mm drivers optimized for on-ear architecture for tight, articulate bass and natural sound. Internal wiring is OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) for maximum signal transfer and minimal loss.

These headphones provide an impressive frequency response of 20Hz to 20,000Hz +/- 1.5dB, -3dB @ 15Hz and very low Total Harmonic Distortion of less than 0.25%. The compact folding design makes them easy to travel with.

Exclusive RoomFeel Technology

Voiced for a flat response, the HP30 headphone was developed by Paul Barton noted speaker designer from sister company PSB. Working at NRC (The National Research Council of Canada) and using the KEMAR dummy head testing system, Barton discovered the addition of low frequency room gain that one would expect to hear with normal loudspeakers in a room. This is the same room gain compensation transfer function that was developed in the Athena Project at NRC.

This useful feature makes music sound more natural by taking into account the effects of the room on music playback. Almost all recorded music is monitored using direct radiating loudspeakers to determine the acoustic balance for the final mix. The transfer function NAD developed for their HP30 headphone takes into account the "room gain" that occurs when playing direct radiator loudspeakers in a room. The result is a much richer and more natural listening experience. You have to hear it to know what you’ve been missing.

Three-button Multi-click Remote with Microphone

The VISO HP30 comes with two detachable headphone cables. It includes a standard ribbon cord plus an iOS compatible tangle-free ribbon cord.

The iOS cable has an inline three-button multi-click remote with microphone, offering control of all music and call functionality right at your fingertips. Functions consist of Play/Pause, Volume, Skip Track, Previous Track, Fast-Forward, Make and Answer calls. Included in the remote is a high quality microphone for voice-calling and device control for Siri-compatible devices.

Also included with the HP30 is a custom-designed carrying case a 3.5mm mini-plug to 1/4" adaptor and an airplane adaptor.
