Anyone know if leather/pleather ear pads are available for the HiFiMAN HE-5 LE?
 
 
Side notes:
 
a.) I received the HE-5 LE recently...shipping was quick - about 6 biz days to N. Indiana.
 
b.) It shipped with the outer grill cloth omitted and replaced with the same star-shaped felt also found on the inside. A transparent fabric is in place to keep dust out.
 
c.) The (unterminated) silver coated copper cable (from the HE-5) was included.
 
d.) The cups sit slightly too low on my ears. I am attempting a fix by adding padding under the head band.

I think the HE-5 pads could work on them. 
There was a boy on the forum who sold them....i dont know if he is still selling them.

bump. I too am interested in leather ear pads, as I find the stock HE5 ear pads itchy and irritating.
