I learned that lesson the hard way. My first serious headphones were the AKG K 240DF pair I mentioned earlier. They weren't closed back and I didn't know better. I wound up picking up a pair of Sony MDR-7506 phones for tracking.

Those AKGs were pretty popular when they came out but every pair I ever saw in a studio had the same problem. There's a round plastic piece of trim on the back side of the wired-side cup that always came loose and dangled.

Anyway, I'm glad I may have solved your mystery.
