I had both the NT5 pair and Oktava 012 pair. If you allow me to use some buzz words....
I'd say that the 012 have a more neutral and organic sound while the NT5 sounded a little more hyped in the high end and they had a punchy quality to them.
If I were recording a rock/metal drummer I'd use the NT5. If I were recording a jazz drummer or someone who wants a "pure" sound I'd use the 012.
Overall, I'd say that the 012 are more versatile and I'd use them on more sources than I would the NT5.
Both are great and if you can afford to get a pair of each I'd do it.
