I know it's a cloth, I just think it should be more streched, right now it's like theres too much of it, and because of that my ears are definetly thouching it. It's such a delicate material my ears don't feel it, otherwise it would be a big problem. Thankfully my unit doesn't squek at all. Comfort is on a very high level with 1A, love the fact there's no clamping force, yet they somewhat stay strong. There's a wind noise through the holes even when walking at home, but it doesn't bother me since I'll be using them mostly indoors.
To me bass isn't overwhelming nor it is overshadowing any frequencies, so probably won't be doing any mods. I hope over time it will mellow down a little, especially subbass. Overall bass is better than 598SR and worse than 598CS, which although less in quantity is more textured, crunchy and better controlled. As of yet I haven't sensed much spacial awereness or soundstage, but maybe in time I will. I've listened to them for only 6hrs and so far 1A sounds like the most universal headphone.
