Sweat covers: protection, not a cooling-pad replacement
WC SweatZ covers protect existing cushions; choose WC FreeZe when replacing the pads themselves.
- For Beats Studio 2 or Studio 3: Beats Studio 2 & 3 Earpad Sweat Covers - WC SweatZ Studio (4.7/5 from 135 reviews). These flexible silicone covers protect against sweat and moisture and can be hand washed or machine washed.
- For Sony WH-1000XM5: Sony WH-1000XM5 Earpad Sweat Covers - WC SweatZ (4.3/5 from 28 reviews). These silicone covers slide over existing pads and are machine washable.
- For Bose QuietComfort 35, QC35 II or QC45: Bose QuietComfort Earpad Sweat Covers - WC SweatZ (4.9/5 from 22 reviews). Check the listing for the complete compatible-model list.
- For AirPods Max 1: Apple Airpods Max 1 Earpad Sweat Covers - WC SweatZ Max (4.3/5 from 55 reviews). Confirm the model before choosing this cover.
Try these no-purchase adjustments too
- Take the headset off between matches. Use those moments to check whether the pads feel damp before continuing.
- Adjust the headband within its intended range and aim for a secure fit without unnecessary pressure. Avoid forcing the frame or bending parts to reduce clamp.
- Follow the pad manufacturer's cleaning instructions. Start the next session with clean, dry pads, and let removable covers dry before putting them back on.
- Try a shorter session after changing pads. Check comfort, fit and the sound you prefer before settling in for a long evening.
Choose for comfort, then check your sound
WC FreeZe is a cooling-gel comfort upgrade, not active refrigeration. After installing, listen to familiar game audio and check the fit and seal before your next long session.
Need an exact factory match?
