I can't seem to decide between these headphones, I originally wanted comfort which both appear to do well in but now I'm stuck between the two, your opinion on which you think I should

get would be great, thanks.

Well, concerning comfort, XB1000 is almost unbeatable (like a good pillow,lo), but if you live in a hot area, the earcups can become very sweaty. DT990 (05)? is also very comfortable (not sweaty with the velour pads) and like all open headphone more bearable with long cession, but i m not a huge fan of the DT990 sound signature, but XB1000 isn't a good all rounder headphone.

What's the sound signature of the DT990 250ohms like? I do listen to mostly bassy songs but I like to mix it up from time to time (uncommon though) so the 1000s may still be a good choice, the lack of reviews and feedback on the 1000s scares me though, it's more of a risk move.
