The DT-990 are not bad. The treble is a little overemphasized. The easy bass is also a bit emphasized, but then they give up on the deep bass (start dropping below 50 Hz). Still good headphones, two classes above the uncorrected Sony NC.
With proper corrections based on objective measurements, any headphones can sound neutral and balanced.

That's just an audiophile meme, there's no reality to it. > you'll never get the noise cancelling ones sounding good because there are 2 processes affecting the sound That's so wrong I'm not even sure where to begin refuting it. Seems like you're picking a lot of audiophile mythology along the way.
