I find it actually pretty important because I buy a ton of used vinyl and even after a good clean some of it sounds a little rough. If it's terrible I don't keep listening but if it's just a little bad these phones male for a pleasant experience. I love head-fi, hi-fi, and audio gear in general but if I buy a 70s era Zoot Sims record for a buck and clean it up I want to listen to the music and don't want to jump after a few pops.

It is because they are mixing them for people that use a phone/mp3/$20 era buds, the time we live in.

The ones I just got last week fit well. You can pop the plastic lock ring out of the stock pads and it fits right into the HM5 you just can't take the inner ring out of the stock pads so they will not pivot like them so you have to pop them off to spin them to get them set just right.
I will be doing a full comparison between stock pads and alpha pads when they arrive. I'm in the market for some Shure 1540 alcantara pads, as well.
I would do a full review right now but I'm too happy enjoying the music of these. The Alpha pads make them sound much better!! More spacious room for your ears, soundstage depth is now there and not just width. The bass has tightened up as well. These should have came with Alpha pads. The stock pads really don't do these headphones justice.
Are you referring to these pads? :
