I'm looking for the best overall sub 1000 dollar headphone. Is it the beyerdynamic DT 1990 pro?

Hard to tell, since it really comes down to preference.
My favourite at that price were the LCD-2C.
From new contenders I'd consider the Kennerton Gjallahorn.
If you like the Beyerdynamic House Sound, I consider the T1 superior to the 1990.
The T1 will receive a 3rd Revision this autumn, nobody can tell what the difference to previous models will be.
So as long as you dont tell us what your sound preferences and music genres are, all we can do is name "good" choices in that pricebracket, which may or may not fit your taste
As you can see above, people arent really able to help you without more information. Without knowing more about what type of music you like, your current setup, your preference for sound (bass, treble, soundstage, ect), and what use you need (open, closed, gaming, music, movies?) we can only just give you OUR preferences.
Also, used or new? You can get 1k+ headphones used under 1000. I can say pretty confidently that the sub 1000 king is NOT the 1990. Such a variance in sound though with my favorites all under 1k (used): HD800/S, ZMF Aeolus, Focal Clear.
