Wireless Active Noise Cancelling HD Headphones
Don’t get tied down with wires. NAD VISO HP70 wireless headphones offer the details of a live musical performance with a host of features that enhance listening enjoyment, including PSB’s exclusive RoomFee technology, Tri-Mode operation, and USB connectivity.
Three Ways to Listen with Tri-Mode Operation
The M4U 8 employs Tri-Mode operation, which means the headphone has three ways in which music lovers can enjoy their music while on the go. Active with ANC mode is recommended for music listening where ambient noise could interfere with the enjoyment of music, while Active Only mode is recommended for music listening where ambient noise is not an issue. Both of these modes rely on the two rechargeable NiMH AAA batteries included with the headphone, designed so the music lover can swap out depleted batteries for freshly charged ones, including regular AAA batteries. Listen all day and all night with up to 15 hours of run time in Bluetooth or Active modes.
Unlike some headphones with ANC, the M4U 8 can be operated passively when battery power has been depleted or by those preferring to use an external amplification device. The three modes are easily changed with a toggle switch located on the right ear cup.
Exclusive PSB RoomFeel Technology
The M4U 8 features PSB’s exclusive RoomFeel technology. Used in all prior PSB headphones, RoomFeel makes music sound more natural by considering 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. RoomFeel scientifically 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.
Utilizing the DSP capabilities of the M4U 8’s Bluetooth chipset, the implementation of RoomFeel featured in the M4U 8 headphone is the most advanced yet. Music lovers will love the freedom of wireless headphones with the performance of high-end loudspeakers in an acoustically optimized room.
aptX HD Wireless Listening
The M4U 8 features aptX HD enabling 24-bit music quality over a Bluetooth wireless connection. There are also two different wired modes of operation - 3.5mm wired connection or via USB from the computer that also recharges the batteries. Enjoy the convenience of wireless operation while on the road, at the office or around the house.
Superior Comfort
Particular attention on comfort and ergonomics has been placed in the design of the M4U 8. The first thing one notices, at less than 13 ounces, is the relative light weight for a full-size, active headphone. The unique two-way adjustable ear pads are gyro-suspended to conform to the user’s head. The softness of the ear pads adds to sublime comfort and allows the M4U 8 to be enjoyed for hours on end. The expandable headband offers a wide range of adjustment for a personalized fit.
Ready to Travel
The M4U 8 folds easily and is supplied with a rugged travel case and connection accessories for travel and storage. Tangle-free cords are supplied for wired connection and for USB connection to a computer. The headphone also can be paired to most smartphones and used for phone conversations. A “listen-through mode” allows the user to momentarily listen to the outside world as well as have the ability to answer a connected phone. Two built-in, hands-free mics provide enhanced clarity.
