New Head-Fier
I have the t50rp mk3 and now the t5050 as well.
Really like the t5050, but TBH they sound more alike than I thought.
My main issues with the mk3 (with stock pads) is that it sometimes can be harsh and sounds kinda closed in. On rare occasions, on songs with a tons of bass, the bass is a bit overwhelming.
Also the fit is passable but not great.
Preferated pads mostly fixed the harshness and make the soundstage feel bigger, But the bass becomes too lean. And the fit still not great due to the headband.
Most of the time the mk3 sounds good but those occasional issues and the fit can interfere with enjoying the music.
The 5050 sounds great out of the box. It's never harsh and the bass still great but never overdone (somehow the bass feels the same as mk3 but without the problems I had occasionally). And the fit is much much better. The strap make a big different and its sits so well on my head.
TLDR;
The t5050 sounds like a fixed t50rp mk3.
It sounds better, without the occasional harshness and much more comfortable.
(but I will note that sometimes they sounds almost the same)
I have it for a while now and I like it a lot.
