On groupon after using code save40 they are less than 50 bucks. Would these be worth getting for that price? Or at least for the pads?

Many head-fiers like the XPT100, HM5, and FA-003. These all share the same cups/drivers, have same sound:

So even though the OP didn't like them (not everyone likes every headphone), generally considered a good headphone in the <$100 category.
Seems like you are getting a sweet deal
