I am seriously confused by what you are trying to say here. ATH-AD2000 has same swivel only earcups as W5000, what particular cans you are referring to, do you mean new X phones?
None of the W series will tilt in-out like the ART monitor cans do (and like most headphones ever made will do) - they only swivel. That's why you see all of the threads about bending W series headphones headbands (be it W5000, W1000, W1000X, W3000ANV, etc).
I should mention, this has nothing to do with the wings, but the mounts for the cups themselves. The W series mount on a swivel to the wing mechanism, while the A series mount on a gimbal (which itself is hooked to the swivel). I know there's a few generations of wing mechanism represented across time, and some behave better than others.
