I am using these pads with them. They are the right size and are slightly lower profile/tad more comfortable than stock. Couldn't A/B sound between the pads too well but I think the sound is less directed than stock, with washier mids. They also give me another notch to extend the headband (I'm at the topmost notch with stock). These are much better fit than the Brainwavs memory foam angled velours which are too small, and should be aggressively stretched (those sound better though). I'd say only get them if stock is giving you comfort problems

Had m1060 for a week and trying to figure out what sounds good on them too. Enjoying modern mixes with sparse orchestration and cracking transients the most, as the mids on these gets stuffy. Tracks with lots of midrange reverb is a bit of a mess.
So far hiphop (which I don't really listen to usually) shines on these as does anything by Tom Misch. Dnb unfortunately isn't too great. Too busy in the mids. I'd say funk and rock without too much in the upper-mids. Deep house does pretty well too.
If anyone has youtube playlists of tracks that sound good on the m1060 please share.
For the record, I have tried every mod I could find. Stock, fuzzer, pad swap, paper towel, removed grill, seatbelt cover headphone padding, removed foam, added my own thinner felt to replace foam. But since I can't do tests I can't say for sure what each has changed. I currently have them with fuzzer, a couple of different pads, no grill/foam + felt on back of driver + a decent amount of EQ including a modest low end hump and some cuts in the mids. Honestly most of these won't make a huge difference, I just had too much time on my hands.
You technically can put small wooden calabash bowls over the cups if you want these to be semi-closed. Sound result isn't great: bass increase, strident highs, sucks out mids, and moves in soundstage, as you'd expect, but you could experiment with different depths. They sell them cheaper at stores ($3-4 each)

What I can say is the pad swap and grill removal made the headphones slightly lighter which doesn't hurt. The headphone padding only helps a very small amount. The headband is still crap, but my head is slowly adjusting and I am not in as much pain as I was originally.

) but I added this anyway. I think it will help those that have an issue with the stock headband. Search Amazon for this headband (seller is Geekria) I can't put a link on w/o it showing up as my own order, and the possibility for anyone to load me up with hundreds of these things ... not that anyone would 
I Saw DMS3 TV ruined his too, so I guess I can take consolation in that I'm not the only one... Now to shop for some full size cans that I like right out of the box I guess...
