I recently borrowed and listened to a pair of these headphones with and without the "tape" taken out.
 
Supposedly there's a marked difference.  It makes them sound "clearer" in the mids and highs.
 
I don't honestly hear much of a difference.  There seems a be a TAD increase in clarity.  Then again I can't tell if it's just me expecting it to be different.  The bass seems to be.... slightly varied.  Not sure.
 
Is the tape a good thing?  There's a minimal difference to my ears personally.  I'm not sure if I actually prefer the taped version, or the tapeless.
