Totally agree with this. The K240 has earlier bass roll-off than the DT990 but a very raw clinical honestly to all the sounds it makes. The DT990 has better separation that comes with a slightly bigger soundstage and better stereo imaging.
I find the AKG to be more naturally 'analytical' (without being boring) and the DT990 to be more naturally enjoyable for listening.
The ones that I sorta/kinda agree with (more or less neutral but tend to be a tad humpy in parts):
AKG K240
Beyerdynamic DT990 (get the high-impedance versions 250/600ohm)
