It appears my head has balanced out the clamp over time, I'd say due to this I've lost about 40-50% of my isolation. I want it back. Ive tried bending the headband, but I don't know which way to bend them to get that clamp back, assistance?

Bending the headband inwards is about the only thing I can think of, but just be careful not to push it too hard or else it might snap.

Well, the thing is, your headband already wants to curve inwards because it was designed to do so, even if you stretched it out over time it will still hold its shape. So, there's not as much risk of snapping as there would be if you were trying to bend the headband outwards.

Take, for example, a prong on an electrical plug. If it arrived to you bent a bit to the right, you could always bend it more in that direction, to some extent, without it breaking. Try and bend it to the left, however, and the weakness at the base of the prong would cause it to snap off.
