Right now, I'm 99% sure that it's the felt between the driver and pads that is causing the ringing effect. Been playing around with it, putting the felt under my velour pads (caused ringing, never heard it without), under the stock pads (how it was stock), turning them around so the other side is facing the ear (still ringing), and using no padding between the driver and the stock pads caused no noticable ringing (but not recommended as Cskippy said, could get stuff stuck on the driver itself and cause hell). I "paint"ed this, and it's how I see it working:

red is sound being bounced off the felt, and blue is sound being shot back from hitting your skin or the pads..
