The tuning seems nice on the M570, if not a little sibilant in the mid-treble. But for a silent listener they're fine.

Interesting. I don’t find them sibilant at all.

I only looked at the graph, good to know graphs aren't everything. Depends also on treble sensitivity/preference.

I've found frequency response graphs to not be unreliable with headphones, just in my limited experience. I think they're much more reliable when it comes to Speakers and macro dynamics.

But everyone has different ear lobes (the shape of which affects sound waves), and different ears, and we all know how changing out the ear pads can make significant differences. So it is not only possible but likely that one pair of headphones would sound completely differently to two different people.
