I'm looking for some new open eared headphones and I am really interested in these two headphones? Which of these do you think is better? I listen to all genres of music.

Heya,
 
The HE400 is darker, faster, better mids.
The DT990 is brighter, slower, but bassier (mid bass), and perhaps a little more comfortable. Also half the price generally.
 
Both are excellent. It comes down to what you're looking for in a headphone.
 
Very best,

He summed it up best ^^. I returned my DT990's though, the He-400s are just in a whole different class, at the very least their low-end blows the 990s away. The HD600's would be inbetween the two in price.
