Without EQing, I can agree to this. Beyers seem to give you everything out of the box. You have to narrow then amplify what you like which is two steps. Many may not realize they need to do two steps and aren't ready for that. The DT990 pro seem to come out of the box with a range more suited for a closed headphone. Because it's open, I can see why some people really were thrown off by its performance out of the box.
Many others brands are already pre-narrowed in their signature range and users can simply focus on amplifying so it's just one step. Playing outside of the factory settings range is an extra step, but because you're intentional, you kinda know what you're in for.

EDIT: Hm some used DT990's on Facebook, one looks almost unused, man I'm not sure about buying used headphones...

Replacing pads is only like $10-30 and 10-20 minutes. If you target a set from someone that really takes care of their gear, you'll be far less likely to get into a crappy situation.
