Did I get everything in the title? I think so! Oh, I'll add that I much prefer deep cushions. Cans like the M50x rub my ear inside the cushion (I guess my ears stick out?)
Brainwavz HM-5 or NVX XPT100 (much less expensive).
Edit: Just noticed the word commute in your title. Both of these headphones are bulky, not sure they qualify as portables, but both have the deep pads you want.
The Brainwavz HM-5 is available at Amazon.ca, but the price is outrageous. Nothing wrong with the M40x except maybe the pads. You could put HM-5 pads on them at a later time if you didn't like the original ones. They also fit the 7506, but I don't know what they'll do to the sound.
Its rare to see anyone describe the 7506 or HD280 as comfortable, especially the HD280, but I haven't tried that Sennheiser myself.
Looking at the prices at Amazon.ca, the SoundMagic HP 150 is close the same price as the M40x, so you might want to do some research on it as well.
Well thanks again. Another one I've never heard of. I did run across the ISK HD9999 (http://www.head-fi.org/products/isk-hd9999-fully-enclosed-monitoring-headphone-with-carry-case) this morning as well, and so far they seem to be quite well liked.
