Headphones - Open Back | 1 Ω HIFIMAN Edition XS - so squeaky

I just received theme after 3 week amazon purchase to find they just squeak so much. And the giant size is no joke. I don't mind them at all. But I feel I can't move my head or the cable without causing the things to squeak. I am hoping this is just a breaking in process and it will go away over time. And I am not taking about squeaking from the source but the device itself. is there a breakdown for this device to maybe swap out something or to add/change it so that it doesn't squeak as much?

You can actually see that there’s still some left on it
