With all honesty the cushions are a game changing experience. I love them and if they break because my dogs eats them I’ll definitely buy a another pair.
My shopping experience was great, fast delivery and easy way to purchase and communicate!
I use my ear pads specially for gaming, but they are so good you can walk around the house with music or YouTube in your ears and it’s a confort experience.
Overall I highly love your product and I’m definitely recommending it to any gamer out there with a compatible headset.

I use these with Sony platinum headset...they don't attach, I put them between my ears and the sonys. Would like to see WC make some options for platinum users.
Dennis K.
Looks good and all but unfortunatly wasnt a good fit for the Arctis 7. A bit to loose and didnt go well around the ears aswell. Had to order new ones from steelseries instead

Größere und bequemere Ohrpolster für mein Arctis Pro Wireless. Sollten diese mal kaputt gehen, werde ich mir wieder welche bei Wicked Cushions bestellen :-)

After wearing these for about 3 weeks I can honestly say they’re amazing, super comfortable, they look awesome and feel softer then the stock muffs.

I love love how these look and the comfort of the cushions. Overall is feels high quality and I definitely recommend them. Unfortunately I do feel as though the cooling gel only feels "cool" for 5-10 minutes and in comparison to the stock cushions from my Arctis 7P headset, they actually end up feeling slightly hotter after a half hour of gameplay. So it does feel like you're paying an extra fee for a cooling gel that feels a bit gimmicky. They're still comfortable and great looking, just don't expect much from the cooling gel option.

This is the third time I've ordered a set of Wicked Cushions and each time my headphones have felt much more comfortable afterwards. At first I was worried the cushions might be slightly too big, but they fit will and it adds to the comfort.
My ear doesn't sit against the insides anymore and I can the larger size allows for a more comfortable fit. Wicked Cushions continue to impress.
Dominic S.
I Love these Cushions for my Arctis Pro Wireless, the Cooling Gel works fine when I Put them on the first time its preety cool, after that they Warm up to the Temperature of my Head. Also they don´t hurt my Ears wearing them after a long time like the standard Cushions of Steelseries. What I dont like is the Online Shop Part, where you choose the Cushions. You should make it Clear that I Purchase a Pair of those. I thought I bought two single Cushions. And now I have a Pair of those lying around at home. All in All those are worth the Money.

Looks and feels Stinkin Cozy! Amazing comfort and no more sweating around my ears! A MUST have if you use ANY headsets.
Jeremias L.
Fits Audeze Penrose just perfectly with some modifications (search YouTube). Great improvement.

It’s a little small and tight. Still gets quite warm regardless of the fact that I bought the cool version.
Good replacement though as it does feel sturdy. I do have a bit of odd ears so maybe that’s why it might feel slightly tight for me.
Wasn’t as soft as I thought it could be. My original cushions for my Arctis 7 was much softer and more comfortable if I’m being honest. But probably not as durable.
Jediah B.
they look very nice and feel nice, but the cooling gel is not even noticeable in my opinion

My Razer Opus earpads were deteriorating because I use my headphones for 12+ hours a day, including all sorts of activitities: work meetings, music, gaming but also going to the gym. The original earpads were clearly not made to endure as much heat/sweat as I put them through, so I started looking for alternatives.
The cooling gel is very comfortable and I would not like to switch back to non-cooling gel pads for headphones that I use 12+ hours a day.
Janne
If you wear glasses, these are better than Arctis Pro wireles ' own. Does not press glasses and is much cooler to wear.

I got the Logitech G Pro Headset and found that the cushions that came with it heat my ears up very quickly. When I looked for replacements, thats when I found the WC freeze cushions. I am extremely satisfied with my buy because they not only keep my ears cool, but also look and sound great. The shopping experience was very simple, and I was extremely impressed at how painless it was to order and track. I am using these cushions for light music listening and gaming. All in all, I love these earpads!
Jean-François C.
These cushions are great, and definitely comfortable. A huge improvement for long time wear comfort over the previous models as well. If you like the look and find other models to be too hot, these are the way to go!
James
I have been using the WC FreeZe pads frequently and am quite happy with the purchase. While it did not cool my ears as much as I thought they would, the effect is more noticeable when wearing them for long sessions compared to the regular pads. The size is also comfortable for larger ears such as mine and the sound isolation is also noticeably higher. The new pads do make wearing the headphones for long sessions much easier.
My shopping experience was nothing spectacular to note – straightforward and simple. I have no issues with this as it means no complications which is all that I need. The pads came in a vinyl bag which was unexpectedly nice packaging. It still doesn’t measure up to a box package but the vinyl bag is still good and I would rather a lower cost for the overall product instead of higher just for a box. The price of the product is also reasonable in my opinion, considering that it is designed for comfort with a number of materials.
I use the earpads with my headphones during work, gaming or streaming. These sessions can go up to 8hrs+ and I can wear them with no problems.
Happy to give some feedback as I am quite glad with this purchase
Andrew K.
I really love the product, they allow me to game for hours without my ears getting too hot and uncomfortable. The experience shopping was quick and easy, I appreciated Or reaching out about the product. I use the earpads for extended gaming sessions, which allows me to play longer and be comfortable wearing the headset (steelseries arctis 7p) for hours at a time.
Dakota C.
I am very satisfied with what i received! I use the cushions on my Sennheiser headphones and they add more clearance which makes them more breathable and comfortable. They were easy to install and look great. Buying them was nothing special, but nonetheless it was convenient. I use the headphones on my desktop PC which i use for work, music, and gaming. Although i didnt find a use for it and none of my friends wanted it, i think the coupon that comes in the bag is a good gesture. Very satisfied
G W.
I think these ear cups are well worth it. I'm on my computer for extended amount of times quite often, and these ear cups are a blessing. I have a pair of HyperX Cloud II. The factory cups were fine, but would get uncomfortable after several hours of use, these gel cups eliminate that issue. Overall, I would recommended these ear cups.
Brian M.
Love these! All the comfort & style of the original wicked cushions but much better for long gaming sessions. My only complaint with the original cushions was the heat after long sessions, but that issue has been solved with these!
isaac R.
So i was really excited to try these out i was hoping they would keep my head cool during long gaming sessions especially since its summer but they don't. When you first put them on they feel cool and nice but after 5min they lose all cooling sensation and honestly are the hottest cushions I've felt on a headset. Turtle beach has this same tech in there headphones and while i understand those headsets are more expensive than theses cushions so it stands to reasons they would be better at cooling it just sucks that theses cushions don't even come close to that level you get on the turtle beach cushions. All and all your better off going for more breathable cushions if your looking for ones that will keep you cool these reall don't do anything and if anything just make you hotter
Michael
Got these for my Logitech g pro x headset. Manufacture ones ended up getting a bit sore after an hour. With these cushions I can wear them for hours on end without any discomfort.
Max B.
Bought these babies a week ago and i absolutely love them! They are the most comfortable headset ear cushions i’ve ever owned. Better than Astro A40’s, better than Turtle Beaches. It barely feels like you’re wearing anything on your head! They are so soft, light, and breathable. No more headaches! No more ear pains!
Peter K.
Ok so the actual Pads are awesome and 100x better than the terrible pleather or whatever was on here and keep my ears way cooler. They still get a little hot but no where near what it was before.. I would give them 5 stars but my one gripe is that the inside of the cushions would be better if they weren't the leathery material but the soft cushion like the ends then they would be perfect imo.
Dominic K.
I ordered Wicked Cushions for the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless. These even arrived in Germany quite quickly. Top workmanship and it works wonders. The wearing comfort is far better than with the originals. Even the sound has improved. thank you very much for the quick service. thumbs up
Ryan M.
Everything was good I love them they’re more comfortable and my ears never get hot I use them on a Logitech g pro x headset for games but overall they’re great I have no regrets
Alan J.
Hi I got the ear cushions for the following headphones
Logitech G PRO X Wireless Gaming Headset
ROCCAT Elo 7.1 Air Wireless RGB Gaming Headset
RIG 800LX Wirless Gaming headset
They was a bit fiddly to fit to the Rig 800 but are nice fit once on
I will be fitting the gel ones to the Logitech G PRO X
I find the fit and comfort to be excellent as I wear headphones for 8 to 12 hours a day
Thank you for making this product as I had lots of problems finding aftermarket pads for the Rig 800 Gaming headset.
And I can now get the same cushions for all of my Gaming headsets.
Nate T.
I really enjoy these. They're cooler than other leather cushions with added comfort. The shopping experience was okay other than I had to guess if these cushions would fit my headphones (Audeze Penrose X). I got lucky and they did fit. I use them for gaming and music almost equally.
Lowell
Comfortable cushioning, but subpar cooling from the gel. Would love to see improvements in the future.
Robert L.
1. I LOVE the product. I replaced the pads off my Audeze Mobius and I can already feel a substantial difference in my ears. The cooling gel, which I really thought was a heavy gimmick at first, felt amazing during my long wear sessions while gaming. I actually felt my ears not get hot and sweaty during long wear periods. I am honestly surprised how much difference just replacing ear pads could achieve. The original Audeze ear pads I had would be good for the first hour, but after that, my ears and head would just get hot and sweaty which would make me very uncomfortable. I am glad these WC FreeZe earpads have rectified that issue.
2. Shopping was nice and easy. I have no complaints about navigating the site, finding the pads, and paying for them. It was all pretty seamless.
3. I have been primarily using them for playing multi-hour gaming sessions on my PC.
Richard R.
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.
David M.
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!
j
was tricky to put on SteelSeries, but well worth it and much better than the stock ear cushions
Mark
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.
MARK W.
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
Harry S.
better than the originals. Feels comfortable.
Nathan S.
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.
Kevin L.
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.
Jason T.
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.
Hilario F.
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.
Bryce S.
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.
Amanda
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!
Nicholas S.
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.
Spencer K.
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 :)
Nico M.
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.
Brandon H.
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!
Kurt k.
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.
Christopher R.
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.
Sean B.
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.
ali s.
I love it! My headset looks awesome and the product is very comfortable.
