I have it too but can't manage to have a proper seal, by the way it's nowhere as good as the HI 2500. I was attracted at first by the fact the tehnical caracteristics  would have suited better  a utilisation with a dap but once again as Claus-DK  said nothing special to write about !

Looking forward to hear your impressions on ad-2000x

thanks,unfortunately  most of AT 53'mm driver's full size headphones are oval shaped

Quote: I just found that the dt250 pads fits the m50 just well so it must be ok with the ws99

Anyone tried the m-50 pads? they are very comfy I'm very interested in these but my ws77 were so inconfortable 

Waouh, thank you so much for the video a_recording !

Yes , the hi-2050 improve a lot with amping : better bass control ( less boomy and more refined ), open-up ( better soundstage and less congested sound ), better dynamics, they REALLY need an amp to show their true potential though it's a quite a good pair of cans unamped especially at their...
