Of course. My initial reply was for owners who feel they need a tighter fit for optimal sound. "Majority of the general public" is a pretty broad statement and if you are happy with the default fit then as I also stated, a tighter seal will be detrimental to the sound quality since I believe HD 820 was not designed for an "air tight" seal.
I also asked if there are any other ways to increase ear pad pressure and Sennheiser says none at this time. Perhaps some 3rd party pads will come out in the future with thicker pads.
Not that I have the Senn 820s, but I have the AKG K550s which are also a trouble maker in regards to there seal which effects SQ and isolation alot. I recently fixed this with 3rd party brainwavz XL sheepskin pads, now I get the seal from just throwing them on due to the thicker pads, so just a theory but yeah Senn 820 thicker pads may solve the seal issue.
And cheers for the bungie trick, I may do it if my K550s get too loose.
