Ok, here is my take:

  1. Even the same model headphones have different drivers. Even for the same headphones, right and left drivers do not match 100%, so obviously, you can not expect other model headphones to have the same driver.

  2. No, you can not eq a "bad" driver to perfection since "bad" drivers will have audible harmonic distortion and phase mismatches. Those can not be fixed by eq.

  3. There is no perfection in audio, but preferences and signatures are preferred by most people.

  4. You can eq a driver with low distortion and no phase cancelations/mismatches (you can look at freq graph, and if there are multiple dips and peaks, that driver most likely has phase cancellation) You can eq that headphone to your liking and it will sound amazing.

Best of luck!
