Such a thing does not exist.

It's made worse by the fact that when you seal the back of the headphones,
you emphasize the big resonance of the ear cavity itself. You can compensate
for this, but everyone's ear has a slightly different volume. So if you
stick the same pair of headphones on two people and insert measurement
microphones in their ear canal, the _measured response_ will be different.
Consequently the headphones most neutral on my head may not be the ones
most neutral on yours.

Add to this the fact that for tracking and editing you don't actually
want the most accurate headphones. There's a reason for that whacking
huge top end boost on the Sonys; it's remarkably useful even though it
may be unpleasant.
