This is how fostex X00 and a few other commonly modded headphone removable cable mods are done. The fabric is acoustically transparent and the only tuning the plastic surround around the driver does is dictate how much airflow the front side of the driver gets. As long as its plenty porous then it wont audibly impact sound.
