I'm kind of tempted by this, but haven't heard much about the LD I. I feel like it might be an overkill for the He-300.

  For a second I actually thought they were from HiFiMAN. They just fit too well! I've been considering some pleather pads for the HE-300 and those might be it. How much were they?
