I've seen SRH840 and DT250 pads on the M50, but I'm looking for something softer.  I have DT250 pads on my MDR-V6 and those are pretty comfortable but the stock Sony leather/pleather cushions seemed softer(the DT250 cushions also seem to be more "cushiony" than the DT990s I had).  The SRH840 look like they would be more comfortable but it seems they do not fit too well and affect the stock sound characteristics.
 
Right now with the stock M50, the cushions make me ear HOT/sweaty/sticky.  I'm interested in trying the Sony SA5000 or SA3000 pads but I don't know if they fit and they're also expensive:  I looked up the SA5000 pads from Sony and it's $55!  I actually couldn't find the pads for the SA3000 though.  Another one I was looking at is the Denon pads and Sennheiser pads(BHPhoto); but not sure about the fit.
 
Anyone have any ideas?
