I have the DT880 600ohm and while I like them, they have a huge flaw. They have a huge treble peak at 10khz that makes them painful to listen to for long periods. They're only good if you have a convenient way to EQ out the 10khz peak, ideally with a parametric equalizer.

cvincentThis is part of the Beyer house sound, AKA the Beyer Spike (it's more like 9kHz). You'll get this on almost all of their phones, the 990 makes it especially apparent due to the withdrawn mids.

UzuzuMaybe your ears are different but they definitely hurt mine. My stock ear-pads were also a bit compressed, which might have made it worse. I just recently switched to brand new sheepskin earpads which were much deeper and seals better. Now they sound a lot darker and the brightness issue is gone. They sound perfect now.

JustawayI also find them painful, although as far as I know, it depends on one's ears. Plenty of people don't seem to have a problem. For me, it is, or at least I think it is. I even went to an audiologist to find out if I had a problem, and she said none as far as any of her tests could show. Just a "sensitivity."
