In general, fit and the positioning of headphones relative to your ear, even the toe/angle of the housings will all influence sound quite a bit; this can be measured. If I’m not mistaken, as pads compress and stuff, that will also influence sound too; though I don’t remember if anyone has ever measured this.
People have measured that effect in the Sennheiser 6-- series headphones. Increased pad compression due to wear has a significant effect on their sound, and I imagine there is some measurable amount of change with pad compression on just about any headphones.
