If you got something like the JDS labs O2 with built in ODAC (http://www.jdslabs.com/item.php?fetchitem=48), or one of the Fiios, the DT990 would be transportable. You couldn't listen to it while walking it around, but you could stuff it into a backpack and listen to it wherever you set up your laptop. In that case, the difference becomes open vs. closed -- you couldn't listen to the DT990s loud around other people. Moderate/background volumes wouldn't bother anybody though.
