Hello.
A few days ago found this topic about modified t50RP when was looking for a headphones in class of Denon D600, Philips X1, Soundmagic HP100.
In the past month I had all of them (as well as Soundmagic HP200, Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro) and made a final choice for Denons.
I was thinking about some isodynamic headphones. And finally I am here.
There was great discussion about HP100, D600 and X1. Each of them has good and bad points.
As for HP100, sound was great! Overall clarity and details in whole freq. range was super! But the pads were too bad and I had pain in my ears after about an hour.
X1 does really has a great soundstage, but were too soft in its sound. Additionally sound was too warm compared to D600. Also it sound like through the cap.
D600 appears to be best for me due to its superb clarity, though too much bass. When listen to high quality music then bass is ok, but when occasionally listen to some general youtube videos of some live-concert, there bass is too much!
As for the amp/dac I use Audinst HUD mx2.
How do you think would be t50rp compared to headphones above?

How do you think would be t50rp compared to headphones above? Of course I mean ZMF mod, mainly v1.
I have heard them (not the hp100)
Compared to the above you can expect tighter bass but not as warm or full with as either, with a sound that is not nearly as open as the x1 but way more full and less soft. Also the zmf to me was among the least fatiguing hp's I have owned, smooth treble and great mids. better than the x1 but still sounded balanced. Overall I think if you wanted less bass than both and a full sound then you cant go wrong here. The zmf sounds really natural as well.. more natural than the denons with better timbre...a little bass light for my preference but the sound better than the mad dogs I had by far.
You need to amp them well though. They need more power than the hp's you mentioned.
Why don't you swap pads for something more comfortable?
Mine are in transit, the seller added W1000x pads, if you are interested I'll let you know how this combo works together comfort-wise
