I agree with your assessment of so called "flat" headphones not correctly portraying the music. Whenever I listen to speakers the bass is pretty huge. The problem with many warm/dark headphones is the bass dominates the treble too much.
My favorite headphones for a while now are the JVC S500. I wish I could find something with that frequency response but much better resolution. Most people call it bassy but to me it's balanced. SZ2000 seems like the perfect fit but it's so overpriced and I doubt it would be a huge step up in resolution.
I did like the M50x but I keep going back to the cheap S500 because it seemed to have the right amount of treble. The M50x's treble was definitely tamed from the previous M50's and overall it's a fuller sound but the old M50's had a better treble imo.
