How to reduce the clamping force of the Sennheiser HD560S (the effective method)

I like this earphone, except for the pressing force))
From time to time, I tested 5 pairs.
1) at 21, high pressing force, triangles lay on the ears...
2) in 22, I made a larger size and lined the hat, it partially worked.
3) in 24, strong pressure
4) in 24, not very strong pressure
5) in 24, not very strong pressure. I still have this pair.

But with the method that I will now show, the problem goes away completely.
Plus, I don't have a big head. It is a misconception to think that only the big head gets a squeeze... it depends on the combination of a specific head and specific headphones.

The headphones are 15 grams heavier.
The required elastic ruler, mine is made of wood.
Laces that don't slip.
Porous rubber, perhaps EPDM rubber will also work

We tie the laces near the headband, a thin layer of rubber, glue it to a ruler, and assemble it.

It seems cumbersome, but it is the most effective way)
I defeated you Senn)

PS this will work for other headphones too.
It looks weird, but it works perfectly.

I just put the hps on the box with the pads on each side as if the headphone box is wearing the headphones and has worked for me
