So I just had a question about the ear cups of the Sennheiser 598s. It seems like the left and right ones are a little different. Check this picture right here:

It is hard to see in the picture, but this is a picture of the left ear cup. At the bottom region, you can see (in the boxed area) that part of the black felt is like glued to the back of the ear cup or something. It is hard to describe well, but you can definitely see it in the left cup. However if you look at the right cup in the same corresponding region, you don't see that. I was curious if this is normal for other 598 owners? Sometimes I feel like music from the left ear is slightly lower in volume compared to the right ear, and I'm trying to determine if that's my Fiio E10, my headphones, or my ear. I'm pretty sure this is just there b/c the wire attaches to left cup there, but I just wanted to confirm with other owners.
