Is there a way to reduce the pressure these use to wind the cord?

I will tell you my own personal fix. The spool is wound roughly nine or ten revolutions when it's made. If you loop a string or cable around the hook, you can let it revolve one or two turns, stop it with your finger and then gently remove the string. The pressure increases with every revolution, so this will reduce the pressure. Sometimes doing this means that i have to help the cord in the last few cm, but it's worth it for me. If you don't like the effect, you can always wind it up again by threading the string around the spool once, looping it onto the hook and pulling the spool around. Just make sure you don't over wind it, because that can damage it. You'll be able to feel the pressure building as you wind. Hope that helps!

I really use these for storage so far and haven't used them very much. sorry.

The typical answer is to put on a baffle or screen of foam; like those you see on announcer mics on TV at outdoor events. You could use a bit of packing foam to do the job, or even a layer of cloth. This will reduce the rumble from wind. Secure with a tie wrap or wire tie.

Best to use a piece of duct to connect them using some clamps or zip ties i find canister to heavy to directly bolt on to the fan and the ducting quiets it down some and you can also move the canister if necessary.

You can not reduce the clamping pressure. The clamping pressure is very low out of the box because the headphones are very light. Headband sides are made from metal. Only the very top soft part has very flexible plastic inside with cushion around it.

The cord does not come detachable, so modifying it would be your only option. The cord is a pretty thick gauge, so I imagine it would be harder, because the cord seems heavily insulated.

no, that would be annoying. If my cord moved I got static so I had to send mine back. I loved the concept though.

There isn't any way to reduce the thickness. You can however use a jack with a straight and narrow plug.

I use the small winder for those, and it's worked so far. Sometimes they get caught, and it looks like the inline volume part has the cord bent pretty sharply away from it at times, but so far it's just been an idle worry and hasn't caused any functional problems. If my earbuds stop working from being wound too right this way, I'll definitely post about it here!

Snap the female end under the clip on the center of the hub and wind accordingly. I prefer to put the male end out of one of the side holes about two feet and wind it on the reel in that manner... This makes it easier to plug in the male end to power and reel out just enough to to get the cord to the work site... [Two methods]

Since the metal holders are removable, there is a smaller opening just beside them for the cord. It makes it much easier to use.

There's a dial on the stem of it. Just turn that till you get the pressure you need.

I put the male side of the cord though one of the holes that has the second small hole on each side and kind of "clipped" it there. If it wouldn't stay then I would hold that end of the cord there and just start winding it around. Hope that helps.

I pushed the female end of the cord into one of the holes with a 'clip'. (From inside of reel to the outside). Then I just reeled up the rest of the cord. This way I can plug cord in and reel out the amount of cord I need.

Yes, but this is a little easier. I was doing that too, but bending down to the floor to plug the cord back in everytime started to get to me.

Yes you can, very simply. All you do is twist one way to increase pressure and twist the other way (as if to turn it off) to decrease the pressure. A simple system that works great.

Yes, although mine moves too easily. You could probably just wrap a bit of duct tape around the cord where you don't want it to retract beyond.

I actually used my compressor. I turned the pressure way down but you really have to be careful if you use a compressor. Just blow it up really slow whatever you use.
