Especially compared to a denon ah d5200? Who’s the winner ?

IMO the D5200 is miles ahead - but also much more expensive.

Here in Hungary the D5200 is triple priced compared to the HP50.

Any good retailers in Hungary? With the cheap Ft there might be opportunities

How easy are those to install?

How do I install those pads? Do I need to stick it with a glue or?

Nope. You just stretch them a bit and slide around the brim.

Ok. I'll order those Sony pads.

Just out curiosity. Did you guys moved from HP50? What did you buy?

Denon D5200 is a good upgrade IMHO. Slightly more bass, but very coherent, refined, musical sound. Punchy low-end from a decent source.
If you do not want more bass then a used Denon D2000 is also a good buy. Close to the sound character of the HP50, but better comfort, bigger soundstage. (Home use only.)
Both are closed cans.

I tried HiFiMan Ananda (open) and Focal Elegia (closed) this summer. They were not really my cup of tea.

Would you say that Denon 5200 is warm, neutral, bright? I find NAD neutral, slightly warm. Engaging but not fatiguing. I like them because of that.

D5200 is also a slightly warm character with a very pleasant, elevated bass. Not basshead levels like Sony Z7 or Meze 99 Classics (I had those), but a decent, fat, punchy low-end.

I can easily recommend it because almost everybody liked its sound in our Hungarian headphone community. And this is a very rare thing.

No, these are not the original pads made by NAD. FWIW, I was never able to find replacement pads that replicated the sound of the original pads (including the replacement pads currently being sold by NAD). See various discussions upthread.
