Any headphone will be passable/good with EQ provided you know how to EQ. I don't think we can expect readers to do that.

Most competently designed over ear headphones have low enough THD not to be a problem.

560S hits around 2%THD at 20Hz at listening volumes iirc. 6x0 is higher for sure but, to be clear, are you claiming you can hear 5% bass THD? Would love to test that theory.

The headphones that tend to have problematic distortion in the higher octaves are (funnily enough) usually planar magnetic headphones.
