Product Reviews
Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 171 reviews.
You don't appreciate how bad the headband and ear pads that come with the headphones are until you replace them and then you just get kind of mad about it.
These were a great upgrade functionally and appreciate having pattern options, makes the headset look and feel a bit closer to the exorbitant price you paid for them.
Superb product love the design and the installation takes seconds, Had this and the headband as a birthday gift cannot fault it at all.
Sadly the headband clamps are not available in the UK and cannot get a restock date from support, but the support team is fantastic and very communicative,
Highly Recomend these products as upgrades or replacements for Astros.
Just wish those headclamp bands where available so I could post pictures for Instagram and My Reviews.
Perfect fit. Honestly feels like the headset should have came from the factory with these. Had for my Corsair as well. These will be the deciding factor for future headset purchases. If wicked cushions don’t have a replacement I will not buy the headset. Customer service was amazing even answered my shipping question either on a holiday or a weekend but crazy the level of customer support they gave me. Highly recommend. Had 3 of my buddies buy some too for the same headset. They love them too. Great job fair price for an amazing product. Direct fit. Astro A50x.
I really like these ear cushions. Better than the original. After replacing all the pads on my astro a50's and getting the top head clip my astros are ready for another 5 years of use!
Absolutely love the new cushions and head band. The cooling on the cushions is honestly a lot better than I thought. I’m not sure what I initially expected but they’re awesome. 11/10 products. Will order again.
ensimmäinen reaktio oli että nää oikeasti tuo viilentävän tunteen korvien ympärille.
Sitten huomasin että istuu aivan todella hyvin ja parantaa pelikokemusta tai palaverissa istumista.
Compared to the stock ear pads that come with the A50s Gen 5, Wicked Cushions feel a lot more durable and secure. They’re a bit heavier but I’m not very sensitive to that so it hasn’t affected my gameplay but I’m sure it could for some people. As well the cooling gel is fantastic but I run warm so within 30 minutes it goes away. I purposefully take some breaks and leave them on the stand so the cooling gel can come back. Overall it’s made my headset a fun art piece with my setup and definitely more comfortable for longer hours behind the screen!
These have made my astros even more comfortable than they already were. The cooling is a very nice touch (might just be me) but feeling of cool does go away after about while but not uncomfortable. Overall I’d buy them all over again and worth every penny over the stock ones.
Fit great! Better quality than the oem ones... and that's saying alot coming with a $300 headset! They are more comfortable and i can feel the difference in temperature quickly.
Will be ordering more for the A50X when the stock returns! 10/10.
Not the first purchase I have made from Wicked Cushionz and I am sure it won't be the last. Their stuff is top notch and comfortable.
These, the top clip for the a50 with the added cushion, and the bands to hold the top together all went in smoothly, quickly, etc.
No complaints!
These are a great upgrade for a desert dweller like me. My gaming room already starts hot, even before I turn on my computer. These keep cool even after 8 hours of gaming when compared to the stock ear cups. I've been using Astro A40s for years before getting these for my new A50s and regret not purchasing a set back then when I first found Wicked Cushions.
These are a great replacement to the OEM A50 ones. The OEM earpads felt like itch or rough to me. Got these and being magnetic like the OEM ones popped right on. They are super comfortable and I am glad I bought them.
Having ran through a million headsets in the last two weeks i settled on the Astro A50 X, headset was already extremely comfortable but i love these earcups so i got a set. one thing i did not expect is these earcups attenuate so much sound. a headset that has no noise cencellation now has like 75% its actually kinda incredible !
All our earpads, sweat covers, magnet plates, earbuds hooks, earbuds tips, and shell covers come in pairs. Our headbands, controller skins, and mousepads come as a single unit.
Why is there no blue strip on the cooling gel earpads I received?
Our cooling gel earpads don’t physically have a blue strip. The blue strip shown in product pictures is just a visual representation of the cooling gel inside the earpads to help customers understand what’s inside.
Will replacing my stock ear pads with Wicked Cushions affect the sound quality of my headphones, especially in terms of bass or noise cancellation?
In some cases our earpads will cause a difference in noise cancellation or audio quality, however our customers have not expressed any concern over this generally. If you are unhappy with the change, please feel free to contact us.
I cant find my exact headphone model among your products. How can i find out if you make earpads for my headphones?
