After a little experimenting, I ended up reducing on the stuffing rather than increasing, as increasing damp down the sound too much and there's even less bass. I'm still thinking of experimenting with different material ( felt, foam, etc)
As for closed vs open, having it closed give a healthy boost in body and density. There's less " soundstage", but not overly so, and being in the home system crowd for decades, I'm never a fan of headphone soundstage ( it never sounds real to me), so it's not much of a loss. Arguably, open sounds perhaps more neutral in the hi-fi sense, but closed sounds more musical to be and I feel more relaxed. The thing with this headphone originally ( for me) is that I keep on being distracted with hi-fi thoughts while listening, while I can easily go through several tracks when it's closed.
Since it's almost free of costs and reversible, it's a fun thing to try.
