The mono button certainly helped. Running right/left also helped in stereo or into the same speaker even.
It'd be nice if the board recognized you were plugged only into the left and then assumes you want mono as stereo wouldn't make sense then.

Interesting: I see from the NE5 manual that the LEFT/MONO isn't a feature anymore. The NE2 and NE3 have this, but according to the NE2 schematics it's accomplished by routing the right channel through an extra pin on the RIGHT jack into the LEFT jack. That is, when the RIGHT jack is empty the two outputs channels get connected together combining them into a MONO channel.

Nord must have decided implementing MONO in the digital domain was somehow better.

For me it’s the pther way around, most piano sounds sound bad i almost any pair of headphones, is it a usual issue the something maybe isn’t plugged in correctly?

It should sound really nice in stereo through the headphone output. If not, maybe you have a bad connector/adaptor in the chain somewhere? Have you tried other headphones and/or another 1/8" to 1/4" adaptor (if you use such one)? Some of these are known to be quite bad.
