Yes. This will change the sound. Drastically? Maybe, maybe not, best way to find out is to listen yourself.
The part you removed is called the baffle, a crucial part to tuning a headphone. Consumer headphones typically dont bother and leave it flat with plastic but more studio grade and audiophile headphones use this tuning material around it. Not all do it, but most will, and its quite an important piece. Not really reversible at all, so youre going to have to take this as a learning experience.
Don't worry, you didn't know, but im hoping this post is not only of help to you, but to others.

Oh yeah, not every headphone will be impacted which is great! I have done a few mods like this which has however, but not every headphone will be impacted if any or at all by a change like so.
