Introducing NAD VISO HP20

Pickering, ON, Canada / SINGAPORE, October 17th 2013 – NAD Electronics, the leading audio company that has been designing iconic audio products for over 40 years, is pleased to announce the latest addition to its new headphone range – the in-ear NAD VISO HP20.  Joining NAD’s growing range of VISO personal audio products, which includes the NAD VISO HP50 over-ear headphones and NAD VISO wireless digital music systems, the NAD VISO HP20 has been designed to bring the warm, open sound of live performances directly to a users’ personal headphone experience.

Designed in conjunction with British industrial designer David Farrage of New York’s award-winning DF-ID industrial design studio, NAD has taken a fresh look at in-ear headphone design to create a product that replicates a more life-like listening experience.  Utilising years of sound research inside one of the world’s most sophisticated acoustic labs at Canada’s National Research Council, the NAD VISO HP20 is the first in-ear headphone to be engineered with ‘Room Feel’ technology.  Developed by NAD’s sister company, PSB Speakers, Room Feel combines engineering knowhow with acoustic expertise to expand the whole soundstage and give users a greater sense of space and depth when listening on headphones.

Developed specifically for the NAD VISO HP20, the ultra low mass high excursion 8 mm drivers with lightweight Neodymium magnets deliver shimmering highs and extended bass response.  Each driver housing is precision milled from a solid billet of lightweight aircraft-grade aluminium, allowing NAD engineers to design-in the vented and critically tuned acoustic chamber to obtain the desired life-like bass response and stunningly natural vocals.

Each pair of NAD VISO HP20’s is supplied with a choice of five different ultra-soft silicone gel tips, allowing users to achieve the perfect balance of comfort and noise isolation.  OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) tangle-free ribbon cabling is used for additional high performance, which is fitted with an Apple compatible remote that works seamlessly with an iPhone or iPad.  Listeners can take full control of all their Apple music with a simple touch of the 3-button Apple Remote, and talk hands-free with the high-quality microphone built for voice-calling and device control with Siri-compatible devices.  A neoprene travel case is also included along with a convenient accessory organiser, which includes a 3.5 mm to ¼” jack converter, airplane adaptor and clothing clip.

The combination of the latest materials with leading scientific research into headphone design make the NAD VISO HP20 the ideal choice for anyone who demands the most out of their music - at home or on the move.
