SpookyCyes mine wont seem to center the right ear is fine but left seems to be loose near the bottom... I like the sound though they won't seal exactly how i'd like. I also own the sony mdr-xb500 and these have a much better seal but the treble with the k553 sound much better.... Bummer they're not as tight as I assumed. I've been bending them to make the shape of the headphone tighter but this does not fix the crooked earcup problem..
