Yes, it says EU/UK only but it worked for me. They're listed separately at $239 for the US.
I placed an order anyway, total was $209. no tax, free shipping. received it in 2 days. The box contained only the headphones and cable though. No manual or anything else for that matter. Looks and works perfectly. I dont see any cosmetic blemishes, so I have no idea why it was listed as b-stock.

The weight, fit, or heat are not an issue like some are for me. The foam cups are very comfortable. I find them excellent for critical listening and they inspired me to go back through my library.
Another reason to know what you're getting is the bass. These are nuanced and true to the recording, so they are not intended for ravenous bass heads. That said, most owners tweak the EQ and find the bass satisfying.
I can easily recommend these to anyone who wants to explore and analyze their sound. This is one of the best values in the sub $500 range, so at this price, it's a great value for almost anyone except those that only care about bass. Remember, others will hear what you do. FPS gamers may look elsewhere for gear that helps you pinpoint enemies by sound.
Happy listening.
Also, the DT1990 are open-back, but nothing like the Sundara which broadcasts what you're listening to those in the same room much more noticeably.
Still a terrific deal at $209 though.
it's worth noting that the 1990 are twice the price. best price at a reputable merchant is thomann audio here: https://www.thomannmusi
(Thomann is EU based IIRC, but ships to US very fast and are excellent to work with)
