Both are great headphones, and great choices. I own a DT1990 and I like it (not the least for its excellent build quality and comfort), but the sound really can be too piercing on a lot of music (even though it is extremely impressive for others). I’d advise for the HD600. It is literally the audiophile headphone.

What he says. DT1990s are great fun with impressive technicalities, but punishing on poor recordings/source gear. HD600s are smoother, more pleasant, and all around easier listen, but doesn't stage as well and doesn't have quite the bass/treble extension. It's not as exciting as the 1990s, though HD600s might be preferred for a more intimate experience.
