    tenso.com will give you a jp address. that must be used to register. They will deliver the item to the tenso warehouse in Tokio and from there, they ship directly to you.

    Those look really thin, are you going to get 10 of those? Because otherwise I don't see how they will solve your problem.

    Increasing the pad thickness will suck out the upper midrange more and potentially (depends on mods) make the treble sharper. Overall a more U-shaped signature that definitely needs to be accounted for in mods.

    I'd try leaving the HD800 in its box overnight with the headband set to the smallest position. That should increase the clamp quite a bit. If that's not enough (even with brand new earpads) then you should look into the pad stuff.
