I think truly flat responses is impossible with headphones. Just compare the 
sizes of your more-or-less flat response studio speakers and the size of the 
average headphone. A speaker with a diameter of only a couple of cm has its 
resonance never in the range the bass-driver of your studio-speakers. So you 
have to do several design-tricks to try to equalize the response. And that 
with the limited amount of space. It is a wonder these headphones sound as 
good as they do. (And most cheap one and even a lot of not-so-cheap ones 
sound like crap...)

Have a nice sunday,
