NAD Viso HP50 Review (headphone)

[USER]

Since this thread has been brought back to life, I just wanted to add more graphs that further show to me how @Robbo99999 got this right. Amir's right channel measurement really is the one to follow as it matches up with the others well, including, perhaps most importantly, Oratory's.

Here is another view of Robbo's EQ on both of these results.

Again, for me, Robbo's EQ based on Amir's right channel works best by a small margin --again, for me. (Just in case: I replaced the pads.) Perhaps Amir's measurements show some things at around 2k and 6k that are relevant and true to my particular headphones (which were the ones measured). These results may also show you why it might not work for you.

Here is how Robbos' Amir R channel EQ works on both.

I am attaching it here in case anyone wants to try it out.


Finally, Oratory's newer EQ. I believe it is a significant improvement over the older one, but I prefer both of Robbo's over this.

I’m still waiting for an iOS PEQ solution that I can use with streaming services such as Qobuz and Spotify at work, where my headphones get most used.

Hi, I don't remember doing an EQ using Amir's measurement (not saying I didn't do one), but could you just link me to the post where I do the EQ, I just want to check what you're saying? (As you say this was quite a long time ago!)

EDIT: ok, I searched the thread, and yes I did do an EQ from Amir's measurement, it was at this post:

I'm surprised. Here's my *theory* on what's going on: the HP50s measure close to the harman curve in a controlled lab setting. But more than most headphones, getting that ideal placement and seal is tricky with the HP50s. Amir's measurement techniques (however he is doing the averaging) gets...

Well, I'm glad you can find good use for it. (That's the second time I've forgotten I did that EQ in this thread, but in my defence I did that EQ 3 yrs ago and we discussed it a couple of year ago!)
