As of now, the part number is HPAEC940. Shure says the pads should be available as spares/accessories approximately 8-weeks after the SRH940 is released.
I tried swapping the pads from the SRH-840 to the SRH-940 and vica versa, and I didn’t like the result.

The opposite is also true with the SRH-840. Less bass with SRH-940 pads gives you better detail on the bass, but it did sound like an abrupt EQ to lower bass quantities, resulting in a somewhat hollow feeling on the low frequencies while adding some low treble to the mix. Let’s face it, the engineers at Shure knows their business and both the SRH-940 and the SRH-840 work best with the stock pads on. If you happen to feel that one headphone is not quite right, the best solution is to change to the other model entirely.
I actually found the 940 pads on the 840s to ruin the sound slightly. Granted, it's small, but what it does do to the sound, is for the worse. It tones down the sub bass, heightens the mid bass and tames the treble even more to me. 840 pads on 940s is also just.... No. However, 840 pads on 440's is magical.
