Would you mind posting a couple of pictures of what they look like bare? I was thinking about modding the headband or replacing it to make them look thinner, thank you!

Wow. Not bad at all.

. I should consider peeling off mine when the time comes.

Noooooo!!!!!
 
My eyes, it burns.
 
I think you can buy replacement headbands also. Mine has a bit of wear and tear now and I should replace it for aesthetics sake.

New headbands cost $14. There's not much reason not to buy a new one at that price.

I had the ATH-ESW9 couple years back but sold it to try the ATH-ESW11JPN.  But missed the ESW9, it's tubelike warmth and wonderful full mids and punchy bass.  So finally ordered another ATH-ESW9.  Should have them this week.

in fact the headband looks aesthetically better after leathers were peal off. i use a duct tape to completely peel mine off the band.

True. I wonder how easy it is to be installed though. Hopefully the ATH shops here in my country have some available as well..

Quite, I'd assume. Just unscrew the headband, slide the old one out, and the new one should have adhesives.
