The absolute last thing I have heard with these is anything at all resembling the Senn veil.

The only complaint I have is the creaking ear cup..its driving me mad.

There’s nothing to distract you from your tunes with these headphones. With its specially designed headband and earcup joints, soft silicon rings make sure your headphones work in silence – so you can focus on the sound.
I don't know about veiled but i agree it's fair to conclude the upper mid/lower treble response has a noticeable roll off and the overall voicing leans towards full and "chesty" as a_recording put it but I'd never describe them as dull or anything like that.
Also found the wind noise issue is very managable with these, I put them on on a couple of bike rides to work and with music playing at a very mildly loud level (so as to not drown out any honks and such) it was barely noticeably honestly. It was far from keeping me preoccupied with the music.
Btw, If anyone is interested in some Dynamat i have about 50cmX20cm (20"X9") piece lying around. I'm not sure what size would sufficient for this mod though.
I found the bass to bleed in to the lower-mids. And yes veiled...it reminds me of the Sennheiser veil.
In my opinion Sony MDR 1R are veiled.They have warm upper/mid bass with slightly colored midrange and non emphasized high frequencies,so they give the impression that there is a veil over the music which make it sound sweet and lush.Also,although the midrange is a bit emphasized in general and not so flat/natural sounding,the headphones still sound a bit laidback in their presentation.
So I completely agree with people who talk about veil here.
In the other hand,sennheiser hd600/650 (ok at least hd 600 which I own) does not have any veil when properly driven.But,sony MDR 1R,at least to my ears,are somewhat "nicely" veiled.Not a bad thing though,it has it's own sound signature which is a bit attractive at least at low to moderate volumes (nice imaging helps here too).I completely agree with Tyll's comments from innerfidelity that they don't sound that nice at higher volumes.This,combined with some other problems like wind issue,jack rattle and only decent isolation,does not make it a good portable headphone for me,it's better for home use or use at quiet environments.
Sometime I will try the mod that Andrew Wot suggested some posts ago,to see the results,thanks Andrew for the instructions

M-13, I just love your avatar of cloud.
Me too. Cloud is just so badass...
You guys have a solution for the creaking earpads? Oil? Vase line? Lol

Minimise head and jaw movements... For me at least. My pair rarely creaks tho.
