How to Increase Headband Pressure on HD430

Hm, there should have been a question mark in the tittle... I wonder where that went.

So, i finally managed to get some replacement pads for my fathers HD430 (i will be getting one as well, the pads really made a difference). But i noticed that, compared to my T1 and SE700 the Headband Pressure is tiny, not even sealing the headphones properly, bass is there, but, i feel that the headphones do not have enough headband pressure.

So, is there a way to increase it. Also, i dont think this is normal, since these phones where on a glass head for the last 30 to 40 ish years.

If the minimal headband pressure is normal, i will not do anything, but if its not what can i do to increase it? Its somewhere about 1/4 to 1/6 (conservative estimate) of the headband pressure that the T1 has, i could be wrong though.

Im also asking, since i will be getting a HD430 for my own collection eventually (all be it with a better cable)
