Because of the two 3.5mm jacks on the headphones, can I plug in a microphone, lets say the Vmoda Boompro microphone, into the jack I am not using to create a headset to use on my computer?

I've moved this to the **MrSpeakers Mad Dog: Impressions and Discussion Thread** as it seems to belong there more so than here as a new thread.

I have listened to and owned some great headphones in my time and I recently purchased a pair on NAD Viso HP50's on the recommendation of Tyll Hertsens great "I Love These Headphones" review on the product.    When I first got them home, I opened the package and thought they were not the...

I devised a set of 10 comparative tests (4 that are of an overall quality nature that do not depend a lot on the music being played; 6 that compare the clarity of specific acoustic "events" in certain music). I describe the test methods more fully here ...

I'm not sure where to put this, but here goes: Headphones don't give the sort of physical feeling of bass that real speakers have, but they have all the frequencies you need to hear it. So how can we remedy this problem? What if we manage to hook up a subwoofer + headphones and use the subwoofer...

I've been searching for threads comparing the two headphones, but I couldn't really find any. I'm looking to perhaps buy either the VISO HP50 or the HE-400, and I'd like your input.   I have a Fiio E17 that I use as a DAC/AMP.. as for other headphones, I have a MDR-1R and a D2000, but I'm not...

Hi there, I am currently looking to upgrade my headset to something more comfortable and better sounding. Right now I am using the Astro A40s with the SPDIF Output on my Asus Xonar Essence STX (When I plug them in to the 3.5mm jacks I get this loud screeching noise) plugged in to the Astro...

I got the NAD Viso HP50 headphones recently: http://nadelectronics.com/products/headphones/HP50-Over-Ear-Headphones   Hehe, "NAD".   edit: it was stupid trying to get impressions on these phones with my ****ty audio setup, I have since upgraded and am really liking these phones.   The cord...

I've decided to get new full-size cans and I've narrowed down my list to: 1.Sennheiser  Momentum 2.NAD Viso HP50   I'm kinda leaning towards the HP50, but I've heard they can leak sound? This is somewhat of a dealbreaker for me as I will be using these in an office environment 75% of the...

Has  anyone had the chance to compare these hp's ? I can't find any detailed report (excluding Stereos test).   

If you compare the best $400 IEMs to headphones like NAH Viso HP50, B&W P7, B&O H6, Focal Spirit Pro/Classic, Momentum, AKG 545 what do you think comes out on top in terms of sound quality?

New to the forum and headphone hifi. I am just getting into this hobby, from a lifelong love of good music. Last year I bought a pair of in-ear Klipsh which have been good (much better than the iphone earphones I was using), but having discovered full-size headphones recently I am very...

I’ve done my best to A/B these headphones as I have been unable to decide between the two and have been scouring this site for opinions. In the end I ruined my bank balance and ordered both with a view to returning one set.   I have been listening to the 545 for nearly 2 weeks but I have only...

Hey there head-fiers! What headphone do you guys think is THE best for portable use? The only restrictions on recommendations are they MUST not be iems, and the MUST be drivable from a portable source(iphone 4s), no amping involved. Obviously iems lack soundstage, texture, and overall...

At the intersection of philosophy, psychology and scientific analysis we find Paul Barton's standout creation: the VISO HP50's by NAD. These headphones represent homogenous mixture of technical excellence and a logical approach to human perception. Paul Barton's willingness to take strides...

What phone/IEM do you think gets you the closest to portable nirvana? T5p? JH13/JH16/Roxannes?  Focal Spirit Pro? NAD Viso HP50? Ultimate Ears Personal Reference Monitors? Other?   If posting an opinion, please also list the contenders you haven't heard and so can't consider.

Dear Head-fi colleague.   A few months ago i have bought brand new NAD VISO HP50 and i was fascinated with SQ, but something bad hapens. A two years boy happend to get them in his hand exploring them with small screwdriver. Trough the hole he managed to destroy left driver. I know, that it...

Actually for my girlfriend; will be used primarily for home use. She listens to virtually ALL genres: hip-hop, electronic, rock, classical, jazz, etc...so something that can handle a little of everything would be ideal.   Also, I just don't have the money for an amp right now so would like...

Hi Headfimaniacs, I've just received these amazing cans today as a day early birthday present from my lovely lady. I've got so much to say about how amazing these headphones are, but I just need some more time to formulate how to express my thoughts about them. So, I'd love to be able to start...

EDIT: Found the problem is my old amp (headsave classic V2), it's over 10 years old with many many many hours on it so not too surprising.   Been loving my new audio setup, which includes NAD Viso HP50 headphones. Have been using them for 20 days or so and had no problems.   BUT, today i...

  I have heard a wide array of headphones and IEM's. I find this to be a very fun hobby to fuel my love my music. Generally, there is the mindset that the more you spend, the better it is. Well, that is true to an extent. The reason I'm saying this is because I honestly think the HP50 is one of...

Its that time again!   I have a set of NAD HP50 headphones that should arrive at my door on Monday . I am looking for a portable DAC/AMP that can be used with my laptop, iPhone 4s, and iPod 4th Gen Nano. The primary use of the DAC/AMP will be for these headphones. I would also like to use...

Anyone hear them yet? Like the HP50, they're supposed to be developed by Paul Barton, so from all indications, they should be quite good and neutral (according to the NSC's Project Minerva, it's +3 dB/octave from 200 Hz down to 50 Hz for bass boost, reasonable enough, I guess). They don't look...

Hello   I have two Cans on their way to me, HiFiMAN HE-400 and NAD VISO HP50. I am also a backer of the Geek Out on Kickstarter and the Geek Pulse on Indiegogo. There aren't any impressions on their sound/performance, and for the meantime I also ordered a FiiO E18 DAC/AMP.   I'm reading a...
