I bought a pair for $400 on Amazon a few years back. I sold them though. They aren’t worth that in my opinion. If I bought them for like $120 I would have kept them, but the sound was just meh for that price.
I doubt it was their amp, it was likely their sound preference because they ended up getting the LCD-2C instead.
I own both the DT1990 and LCD-2C, and I consider them equals. They are my bright/dark combo so to speak. Overall my Hifiman Edition XS has better all rounder potential compared to both, but I still end up listening to those two more often.
The DT1990 is an amazing pair if you enjoy that type of sound signature and good imaging. I bought them full price and I don’t regret it at all.

Mmm, maybe your amp wasn’t good enough or you just found better headphones?
What did you get instead?
