Although I can't speak for Mad Lust Envy, my comfort experience with the DT990s has been great.. until I bought the D2000s. Look at it like this. The earpads on the Beyers are absolutely wonderful. They're plush and soft, decently thick, and are easily breathable. The padding on the headband is ample enough for me too. The main thing they got going is having large earcups, an open back and velour earpads for easy breathability and good long-term wearing. Their clamping force is middle of the road for me.
When I got the D2000s I was blown away at how well they actually fitted around my ears. Their earpads are designed near flawlessly. Even though they're pleather and they're closed back, in any well-ventelated room they'll never get sweaty because the clamping force of the D2000 is so low. The one drawback is the headband (while light feeling) isn't as padded as it could be, and over long amounts of time the cans do get hot, although never sweaty. The way the earpads are formed on the D2000s give the Beyers' large circle earpads a clumsy feel.
That's it really, the Beyers have very good comfort and long term wearability, but they just fit clumsily.
