You mean the $23 or whatever on Amazon? I think that was a pricing mistake, that seller quickly corrected that.
Cute I know how you feel. You are sitting on the leather sj5 island and I on the pleather hd25 island.
Im considering it.. if you do the 25 pleathers maybe I'll be obligated

I have only used the leather sj5 on the s500 since I got them......for the best mids, highs, bass, balanced sound, vocals are stunning.......I have no desire to try any other pads on the s500. I have two pair of s500 and the second pair is still in the box.....I may open them soon to compare a pair with no burn in, or to use with alternate ATH velours. With the leather pads, I prefer these over my full size ATH-W1000X, modded with DHC cable and ATH-D2000 drivers (when I got them I thought they were impossible to beat), but the s500 are just that good.....600hrs and counting. The s500 are all that I listen to now.....waiting on the next Carbon Nanotube find!
Am I the only one that just uses the original pads? lol
I did try Grado "comfy" pads for about 20 minutes, and went back to the stock ones.

From the looks of those pads those should sound very similar to the AKG pads I recently tried..Somewhere between the ATH and the HD25 pads in sound. The pad thing has gotten crazy. lol. Too many to keep up with. All in the quest to find the perfect match for the HA-S500. I just had a funny thought. What if all this was a wild goose chase and these leather ATH pads ended up sounding just like the stock pairs. After buying and trying out 4 different pairs of pads the stock pads end up giving out the perfect sound. I might have to throw on the originals just to see how far we have gotten away from the intended stock sound actually.
Another thought. I own a pair of WS55. Similar sized on ears. I should try those pads.
