Oh, I see! I originally asked ATechnica for ESW11 pads, but they said the pads were unavailable (this was about 2 weeks back). So for anyone looking into it, definitely just wait for the ESW11 pads to become available (or search eBay, although I'm afraid to purchase the $70.00 ones on there...)...

Hey guys! I just made a head-fi account so I could say a few things about using the ESW9 pads as a replacement for the ES10's shoddy stock ear pads:   I recently bought the ES10s for my birthday, and loved their sound from the start, but I literally couldn't wear them for longer than an hour...
