Hi there.

Do You know a replacement for Audio-Technica ATH-ESW9 leather pads ?
The best solution would be velour pads - these are most comfortable for me.

Regards,

I read somewhere the pleather pads are there for a reason.. They give a better seal, or an airlock effect, which gives a better bass response.

If there is a velour solution available I'd like to know as well.. The pleather on my W1000 does get hot and sweaty on hot days..

Closed A-T's rely on (P)Leather earpads otherwise bass will be non-existent.

On ESW9 it's a lambskin, not pleather. ES7 has pleather and compatible with ESW9, not sure you wanna *upgrade* to those.

Lambskin is leather

. The pleather pads are less comfortable because they are non-porous and become sweaty much faster

Anyone know then how to get my hands on lambskin pads for my W1000?

Are the W5000 pads lambskin?

I can live with bad isolation. In hot days like today (32 C temp.) it will be just better to have velour pads IMHO. In my office such good isolation isnt needed. HD 25-1 with velour pads was just fine for me

W1000 are lambskin afaik. W5000 pads are identical in all ways to the W1000, except the W1000 pads are slightly smaller in diameter.
