Question: Hi Guys, I am seriously considering buying these headphones.  Can anyone tell me: are the earpads made of genuine leather?  Or are they synthetic?
Document: I bought these headphones based on reviews in various blogs dedicated to high end audio (Head-Fi etc). Some of the reviews consider these to be among the best phones ever made. I've owned more headphones than I can count over more than 45 years. I used to be in the recording business. That said, I can say the NAD phones are very good. I also own Beyerdynamic DT 1350's and Sennheiser Momentum's. These are both excellent phones as well.
Right off the bat, the sound quality was &#34;eh&#34; at best. I needed something that I could wear in the library without disturbing anyone and that I don't need to blast in order to hear my music. To me the sound quality was flat, in my personal opinion. Although lightweight and comfortable, the construction was flimsy and I my ears started to hurt after 15 minutes.
The VISO HP50s are amazing. Seriously the best you can buy for this price range.They are very well balanced with a great soundstage. (Comparable to speakers in a room, this is amazing in itself)The construction is TOP NOTCH. They are built very well! (You&#8217;ll notice how heavy the box is when you receive them)They are VERY comfortable on your head.
Amazing headphones. ..hear instruments through these cans that I didn't think existed through my other one and I own over 20 to date......bass is kinda muted but overall sound is very well balanced. ...extremely comfortable and noise isolation is fantastic!
They are on par with more expensive models ($500-$900 range)I based my final decision off of this review online. I suggest you read it, as he knows A LOT more than I do about headphones.[... ]And I'm really glad I listened.
No, I dont work for NAD, yes, you should put these in your cart. One more thing... the NAD accessories hotline will sell you a 15' cable designed for PSB (same parent?) Headphones for 25.00 that DOES fit perfectly in the jack.
My first over the ear headphones since I was a teenager, I could not be more pleased. &#34;Burn in time&#34; is definitely a factor, as with any quality speaker. The source makes a HUGE difference also, much more than the burn in time. Hooked to a portable device, they are not terribly loud as they are not very sensitive and are hard to drive.
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 the best headphones that my ears have had the pleasure of listening to.
These were an excellent buy! Excellent sound and are really comfortable to wear. I love these headphones. Went from klipsch ear buds to these and was a little nervous for taking a leap of a purchase but I did and im glad I did. If you want the best outta them though you may want to buy an amp because my phone couldn't drive them the way they were meant to sound.
Also, they're not ideal for portable use because of their open back nature and required power output. The JH13 Pro and Westone ES5 are both highly portable and block out a ton of noise but their sound is not as coherent and spacious as the HP50 which is also a portable headphone. The HP50 to my ears are just as strikingly clear and accurate as the top headphones that I have heard.
Answer: I just checked my pair. (ignoring what the manufacturer might say) Feels, looks like very soft leather. If it is synthetic, you won't know the difference. It's that good. But my money goes down on leather. I think you'll like these cans...they really do well with little power and crappy sources. Alchemy I tell you.
