Test headphones:

HifiMan Arya
Sennheiser HD800S
ZMF Aeolus
Drop HD6XX

Note: I didn't really discuss the filters for two reasons: the other reviews go into detail about them and also, I'm not really a big filter/sound effect person. Dirac Sensaround II is a great idea in theory, and pretty cool in practice, but ultimately I found it to alter the dynamics of the sound so I kept it off.
