Amazing quality. Highly recommend. The look of the product and package is premium. They can be tough to put on, but just take your time.

I have been amazingly happy with these Cooling Gel Earpads. They are incredibly soft and comfortable. The cooling gel definitely keeps my ears nice and cool. I love the combination of the breathable material and the leather. The quality is excellent to the point that you wouldn't know they were aftermarket. I am really impressed with them. So much so that I myself have 3 pairs of the WC FreeZe - Hybrid Cooling Gel Infused Gaming Earpads that I use. I have one pair on my SteelSeries Arctis 7X that I use for long gaming sessions. I love how comfy they are for long gaming sessions. The mesh material keeps me cool and the leather sides really help isolate the sound (especially since I have 3 kids roaming around me as I play). I feel like I'm upgrading my gaming experience every time I put on my headset. I have another pair on my SteelSeries Arctis 3 Bluetooth which I use almost all day at work to listen to audio from my Phone (movies and music) and Computer (computer audio and video meetings). I absolutely love them for gaming, but work they are even more important because I use them throughout the day. They comfort they provide lasts all day and they help keep me cool. I never feel like I need to take a "break" just to let my ears or head cool off. My wife also has the SteelSeries Arctis 3 Bluetooth with the WC Velour Pads that she uses for work all day and she's asked me to buy her some of these because she was jealous! The third pair I use on my ATH-M50's for music listening. The secure fit they provide and the leather sides help keep all the music going to ears and the cooling gel makes sure I don't need to take unnecessary breaks in the middle of a music session. I own the velour and leather versions which are great as well, but these are amazing. I couldn't be happier with these. If you wear your headset for long periods of time, or just want a super comfy pair of earpads, I highly recommend these!

was tricky to put on SteelSeries, but well worth it and much better than the stock ear cushions

These earpads are the best upgrade I've made to my headset. If you want earpads that are plush, comfortable, and will keep you cool for long gaming sessions, you need to pick up the WC FreeZe earpads.

I don't just like the cushions I love them. Using them on my Audeze Penrose x for gaming. They have transformed my uncomfortable headset into a headset I can use for hours now with no complaints. Customer services is the best I've experienced so I will be using again and recommending to friends.
Thank you for the great product

better than the originals. Feels comfortable.

As always, great quality & very comfy. Well worth the money & wait (for international shipping) 2 weeks postage not bad for cheap freight & Covid times!

Review for White FreeZe on Arctis Pro
Pros:
- bigger cushion that doesn’t squish too much (ear doesnt rub on driver)
- comfortable
- fabric feels of good quality
Cons:
- Cooling action only works for the first 10-15 minutes of wearing them. I have AC and was watching a movie meaning this should be optimal conditions for cooling effect to last.
- Gel stays warm longer than normal earpads. Once the gel is hot, removing your headsets for a minute isn’t enough to return to a cool temperature.
- Breathability is on par at best with the original cups of the headset.
In conclusion, I do not recommend the FreeZe model specifically but would highly recommend other WC replacement cushions as their product is of high quality.

I definitely like them, however compared to the original width of the ear cups these are smaller. I've actually had to stretch them out to make them not rub on my ears. They are somewhat well ventilated, the gel can be considered cooling but sometimes the hotter it is the hotter it stays. Almost like a heatsink. As for the shopping experience it was fine, the shipping I would've preferred something like USPS or even UPS instead of a lower rated parcel service like DHL (I have had many issues in the past with them), this time it was fine and the delivery was later than expected anyhow. I used the earpads for everything, gaming to music, travelling. I would focus on improving the inner diameter of the ear pads. They are sold as "bigger" but the reality is they are smaller. They are definitely deeper which is what I needed though and I'm sure a lot of people do too.

My shopping experience was excellent with everything going very smoothly from purchase to delivery. I have a pair of turtle beaches that I purchased for gaming but found I had not been able to use them for very long without discomfort. These allow me to go hours and you can really tell the difference also the cooling gel is a nice feature that works well for me.

These are very confortable and fit my G Pro X wireless perfectly. It's a shame there is no Europe reseller, it woul make getting them a lot easier. The only improvement I'd make would be to extend the fabric mesh a bit more to the inside so that the ear would have to touch the pleather.

I have enjoyed the WC FreeZe - Hybrid Cooling Gel Infused Gaming Earpads thus far, I am coming from all leather ear cushions that I had been using previously. These ear cushion are thick enough that my ears don’t hit the drivers and wide enough to surround my ear completely. The cooling gel is not as noticeable as I may have expected but these don't trap in heat nearly as bad as my all leather ear cushions did. Therefore, I haven’t had sweaty ears after a few hours of use yet, although I haven’t worn them for an extreme amount of time yet. The shopping experience was simple and easy, I would look forward to them possible coming to Amazon in the future but I didn’t have any issues with the website either. I primarily use the ear cushions for media consumption at the moment, but they are also used for online classes, meetings, and the occasional gaming. So far I have enjoyed the ear cushions and believe that they will hold up for a long time, but only time will tell.

I bought them as a gift for my husband for Father’s Day. He wears them for PC gaming. My shopping experience was quick and easy. He asked for them, so I knew what I was looking for, went in and got what I needed with no issues. He loves the product and they work as he expected them to! Plus they look really awesome!

They are soft and comfortable yet firm enough to keep their shape. They are a bit larger than the Stock ear pads which I like, as it gives my ears more room. The cooling gel actually works and isnt a gimmick. Overall A good shopping experience, quality product with the proper amount of communication from seller to buyer. Already recommended to a few friends to replace theirs with a pair of these.

Wanted cooling headphones. While these ARE squishier then the stock steele series. They put NON BREATHABLE MATERIAL around the cushions where NO HEAT CAN ESCAPE. The hottest cushions ive ever used. Comfortable on my glasses but my ears sweat a lot.
JonCarlo B.
I love them. They really keep you cooled down, that's the reason why I got them.
Jon
They’re super soft and squishy! Carla at customer service was very kind and replied immediately regarding my questions about shipping. Highly recommend :)

I have a pair of ATH-M50 that would start hurting my ears after about 2-3 hours of use, so I looked up what other people had done and found these ear cushion replacements and decided to give them a go! I got the cooling gel versions and they work very well. When I first put my headphones on now I can feel my ears cooling a little bit and have noticed it takes longer for my ears to heat up. Also the cushions are way more comfortable than the originals and a little bit bigger, both in cushion amount and in cup length, which cover my ears better! Definitely recommend these if your need replacements and/or your ears get hot.

The gel infused cushions are probably my favorite of theirs so far! I own a couple so far and I can say they destroy the stock cushions on any gaming headset by far! If your head/ears get sweaty like mine pick these up and you won’t regret it! Really loving mine on the Arctis 9 Wireless!

If you wear glasses read the entire review. If you don't, the first paragraph is all that is needed.
I love these cushions. The plush gel feeling is very comfortable and enjoyable to wear for long periods (it also feels great when touching the cushions). They are cool when put on for the first few minutes; keep my ears a bit cooler than the standard cushions over time and cool down shortly after taking them off. (Anyone expecting them to stay cool for a long time should really look into taking a basic science class) All in all, a total win with the comfort, packing, and ordering process.
There is one problem though, I have emailed WC about it, they have forwarded my suggestion to management and asked me to write a review here. So here I am.
The seam between the sports material and pleather on the cushions is just high enough that the ends of my glasses will just barely catch when putting on glasses with my headset on. If I do not readjusts the headset, my glasses end up with a pressure spot and are uneven.
I would suggest for wicked to move the seam further into the cup, or to have a tighter seam tolerance as it seems that it mainly happens on my left cushion where the seam is just a little bit bigger as compared to the right . This isn't a huge issue as I still love the product after 2 days and a bit under 24 hours worth of use, but enough of one for me to not go out and purchase another set right away (though it is tempting).
All in all 8/10 for me. If they were to fix the glasses hanging up (and it could just be the set I got) it would be an easy 9/10. I'll reserve 10/10 until something makes me want to buy more headsets just to buy new cushions. Putting these on for the first time were fairly close to that for me at least. Great customer service and a great experience overall. My first experience has turned me into a future customer and someone who will recommend WC to others.
P.S. The cushions in the picture look like they are more narrow than some stock cushions and that was actually a worry on mine when I purchased. After getting them I can safely say that they are not as narrow as they may look and they do conform to my ears.

this is the best product I ever bought for my turtle beach keeps my ears nice and cool under long hours of game play and they are very comfortable to wear.

I love Wicked Cushions. I have two pairs for my SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless. I have the full leather version, and the velour. I love both of them, and will never use a headset without Wicked Cushions again.
During the summer and/or longer gaming sessions, I do tend to get hot and ears get sweaty. I usually use the velour during the summer months as it's a bit more breathable than the leather. So when I heard that WC was coming out with a cooling gel version of their pads, I had to get them. I received them and have used them for a few gaming sessions. They are great quality, same as the leather and velour. I do like the mesh material they chose of the parts of the cushion that touch your skin. However, the cooling gel is just not what I expected, and is seriously disappointing. The cooling gel feeling is definitely there, but you can barely feel it. Also, when you do feel the cooling gel, it "cool" feeling goes away after about 5-7 minutes. After that, it just feels like a normal pair of WC.
I'm just extremely disappointed as I was expecting the cooling gel to have a more pronounced difference. But the way mine are, the cooling gel feeling is barely noticeable, and if you do feel it, it'll only last less than 10 minutes. If you're looking for something more breathable than the full leather WC, you're probably better off just getting the velour version because at the end of the day, once the cool gel feeling is gone, this is just a pair of velour WC.

I love it! My headset looks awesome and the product is very comfortable.
