  At one point, there were black HM5 pads that were not as thick. I've purchased two sets (at the same link you posted) in the past few months and both have been thick.
 
They are super comfortable.
 
That said, do you want pleather or velour for the 770s? All but the 32 Ohm 770s come with velour, not pleather. Pleather will give you a little better isolation, more bass, and potentially cloudy bleed into the mids. Velour will change the sound minimally from stock. They also have Hybrids that are pleather outside, perforated pleather inside, and velour where it touches you. It's basically halfway between the two in sound changes as well.
 
I have all of the variants of the HM5 pads except the angled velour. All (but the angled pads) are +/- 1-2mm in all measurements.

What are you using the angled pleathers on and would you recommend them? I'm planning to get a pair for my Soundmagic hp150's.

I'm not using the angled pleather HM5 pads on anything right now. I have Lawton angle pads that I replaced them with.

I was wondering if these were worth trying...

They look like HUGE on-ear donuts. Might stick with my Ear Zonk G bowls...

Audio Technica AD900 with Brainwavez HM5 Hybrid Pads Black PU/Velour: They fit after 20 minutes of struggle to get them one, but so far feel wonderful.

Is anyone on head-fi doing custom pads ?

 

[Vesperaudio]

Those look like Sony MDR-XB700 pads.

Very comfortable on my Fostex T30.

Recently got some Mad Dogs with the alpha pads
 
Very comfortable but holy crap maybe I have massive ears- I can't have my ears "floating" in there, there's always the top or bottom part of the pad touching my ears :0
Anyone know comfy MASSIVE pads for Mad Dogs and dudes with massive ears?

I know the pads will fit but I think its a little challenge at first to get them on.

Confession:

I almost wish the HD800 earpads weren't so immaculately comfortable so I'd have some reason to upgrade/mod them.

Talk about First-World problems :b

You think the hd800 pads are comfortable? I've tried worn in and brand new and they are just too thin. For me the design of the HD800 is comfortable but not the pads. I'm currently in the works to get a custom par made for the hd800s.

I often forget I'm wearing them and keep them on when there's no sound to be played.

Different head/ear sizes/shapes, I suppose. Have fun tweaking! I'm perversely jealous xD

I really enjoyed the pads on the HE-1000. I'm trying to mimic that for the hd800s.

they need to be rotated so your ears fit right
