I have Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 ohm and Sennheiser HD6XX (HD650 variant sold by Drop.com) as well as few others here and to me the Sennheiser HD6XX/HD650 has been a very good option that does not necessarily need global EQ adjustments from the box (even though it can also benefit from them).
The DT 990s absolutely need correction. I find them slightly more comfortable than the HD6XX but their sound signature has way excessive high end to the point that if you are used to them, everything else will sound dark. That's how I felt when I applied correction but after getting used to it just realised that I had gotten used to overly bright tones.
I don't think you will find the perfect headphones but maybe something that fits your budget and needs. Headphones do need to be treated as their own thing rather than a replacement for studio monitors. The two sound very different. To me playing through speakers is a lot more fun.
