They are awesome, the material keeps them from getting too hot but they are a bit heavier… Also wish there was an option to add a small slot for glasses to keep from creating pressure points and from wearing out the cushion.

Awesome service and packaging

Writing to say I love these headset ear pad replacements I got for my corsair virtuoso headset. I have two headsets by corsair but their ear pads are small in width and rub your ears which drives me crazy even though the headsets are so good. Also, after a year to year and half the original ear pads wear out so badly. So, I researched and bought this Wicked Ear Pad Replacements and love how they are wider and not rubbing my ears.

Very quick shipping, nice packaging, and easy install. Perfection all around. Super comfy and soft.

Thank you, Wicked Cushions, for bringing my beloved SCUF H1s back to life! I couldn't find replacement earpads for them anywhere, so when my final pair broke, I thought that was it. A lucky Reddit search revealed, however, that my H1s are basically rebranded Corsair Virtuosos, which your storefront has not just replacements, but UPGRADES for! And make no mistake, the FreeZe pads are an upgrade - they're super comfy on the skin, and the cooling effect is subtle but noticeable. If any readers also happen to have good headsets that are sidelined by busted pads, I strongly recommend Wicked Cushions replacements, and I personally recommend the FreeZe line!

The cushions are overall 4 stars for me. Here's an honest pro/con list for you.
Pro:
- easy installation
- thicker than the original cushions, your ears will not touch the drivers
- less sweat and heat accumulates, thanks to the fabric surface that touches your skin around your ear
- They feel pretty nice on my head, better than the PU on the factory cushions (less sticky).
- Sound seems fine. My amateur ears don't notice a difference.
- I don't feel an increased clamping force.
Cons:
- You *will* need more headband due to the increased thickness. I was on the second to last step on either side. Now it's too short. So be aware that you might need up to 4 steps headroom (pun intended) on your headband. I will keep them anyway since my earlobes don't mind.
- For me, they don't really feel cool, just less noticeable (see Pros: still better than the factory ones!). The ears don't get much airflow still, so you sweat inside. 100% velour cushions (e.g., beyerdynamic factory ones) feel more climatized.

Very comfortable, my wife uses them daily for work she she loves them.
Jacob W.
Very soft and comfortable. The original ear cups wore out after a year or so of use but these are holding up much better.
Chad W.
Great earpads, I've replaced a pair on a Steel Series headset and a Corsair pair. I won't use the stock earpads after using these. They are very comfortable and durable.
Arnas
Much more comfier cushions than the original corsair ones and much better sound isolation.

Upgrade for your Headsets
Matthew M.
These cushions are a great upgrade to my Corsair headphones! Far superior to the original cushions and as promised they do have a cooling sensation when worn. The original cushions use to make my head feel hot and sometimes feel sick to the point I had to take them off for a while.
Matthew W.
Since the cushions are thicker than the original cushions, the headphones don't sit flat on my head anymore and sound leaks through the bottom. I have a big head so I can't extend the headphones any lower to accommodate this. Otherwise, they're nice.
Cameron B.
I love these headset cushions. Definitely more comfortable and deeper than the factory cushions that came on my xt's. Sound quality has slightly improved from better coverage around the ear. The xt's ears have to be perfectly aligned with the sides of your head or you will start feeling irritated pressure on the side of you head. These cushions have eliminated that. You can tell the cooling factor is in these when you first put them on, but it goes away after long periods of use. Very easy to install. I was recommended these cushions from an audiophile that does reviews on tons of headsets. I think it would be unwise NOT to purchase wicked cushions for your high-end headsets. I think it was a good investment.
Sven D.
These are better than the original... they fit so much nicer

Without warning, the clips on one of my stock corsair virtuoso ear cups broke- ALL THREE AT ONCE. I'm very careful with my headset, no major twisting or bending or stretching, but I do have a large head. I use my headset daily, and my stock ear cups leather base had begun to seriously degrade (very upset with corsair over that).
I was looking through stock replacements for the earcups when I found Wicked Cushions. I figured "hey, my originals get warm over time- if I'm going to get specific new ones I might as well get durable, breathable ones that can't stick to my head."
I chose a short shipping period, as I really didn't want to go more than a few days without functioning (comfortable) audio peripherals. I expected 3/4 days- they were delivered in less than 2. They came in a cushioned envelope-style packaging, in a resealable pouch with Wicked Cushion iconography. Very classy.
Initially, they felt stiff and bulky to me in my hands, and a bit cramped around my ears. I figured this was just a matter of breaking them in, so I wore then for a few hours. Or, rather, more than a few hours- I accidentally fell asleep with my headset on. When I woke up, I took off the headset, and it honestly felt like taking my head off a memory foam pillow.
These ear cups are comfy, cool, and most surprisingly sound-dampening. I was worried because of the cooling features that there would be some trade-off, but not in that department. I still can't hear anybody talking to me while I've got my headset on!
If I had to give any negative feedback on these ear cups, I'd have only the size to complain about- the interior space of the ear cup feels smaller than the stock ones, push my ears with slightly more pressure than I'm used to. I'd be interested to see if they ever make expanded ear cups for people like me.
10/10, would replace again.
Zach S.
The new ear pads are great however the silicone head band isn't that comfortable.
Lynn
Love WC Freeze ear pads, this is my second set, my last set kept me comfy for two years and were still going strong, I just wanted a change up in colour. Also the customer service is excellent, questions are answered super quick. All in all a superb experience.
Ram
The pads are great, took me some time to figuer out how to use with my Grado SR80e, but it doesn't sit so well still. The pads are worth the solution, with how big and comfy they can be, even when it's hot.
Jonah S.
Loved the Coushins - shipped quickly and install was as easy as promised. Will be back
V V.
Wish only you could get an extra pair of these as a bonus purchase if you buy 2 pairs.
Joseph .
The ear cups broke on my corsair headset. Contacted customer service and they just ignored me completely. Looked up some 3rd party replacements and man. I'm glad I did. They haven't broken yet so that's good but they're also MUCH thicker and I don't really feel like my head gets too hot with them on. Not too sure how the cooling gel kicks in, SOMETIMES I feel a cool ring around my ears but when listening to music and gaming I don't really notice it too much. Great replacement and if I ever get another headset and need replacements, this is the first place I'm checking.
Ryan M.
It’s my second time buying the ear muffs and they are still great, the first set started to peel after about 2 years but I used them A LOT so that’s reasonable.
Jhonathann R.
super comfortable, holds your ear in well, can get a little uncomfortable after a while if you wear glasses while using them, thick padding, looks great, feels great, quick shipping, amazing customer service
Jacob
These genuinely saved the Corsair Virtuoso. Those stock ear cuffs are honestly terrible. These wickedcushions are just GAME changing. My ears dont touch the plastic, they are comfy, they dont make my ears fatigue or get sweaty! Ill definitely keep an eye out on future headphones. They might even be a buying point.
Marcel R.
Seems sturdy and very high quality also I wasn't wxpecting much from the cooling gel but it actually.makes such a big difference. I feel more comfortable wearing these than ever. Thank you for delivering a quality product. As a sidenote, shipping was exceedingly fast, I think I waited 2 days being in the heart of Europe.
Frederick B.
Well the ear pads on my Corsair Virtuoso were worn out. So I tried to order replacements from their website. Was actually surprised that they were on back order. So I googled to see if there were other options. Wicked Cushions was the first thing to pop up. I usually don’t like ordering replacements for anything unless it’s from the manufacturer. I decided to take a gamble and ordered the black camo ones. They looked really cool and way better than the plain black ones that come with the headset. They took a little under a week to get here. I liked that I was emailed a guide on how to install them also. Got them on and I have to say. The original ear pads actually had my ears hurting after about 2 hours of wearing them but the wicked cushion ear pads on the other hand. I can wear them all day and I have no pain or discomfort. They are very comfortable, the side of my head doesn’t get sweaty, and they look a lot better. I am impressed and will definitely order from them again.
Jaime A.
Easy installation, great fit, sleek look.
Jonathan I.
I love them so much better than the stock earpads so glad I found wicked cushions. already bought a pair for my other headphones also.
Joshua J.
Great headphone pad replacements. comfy. perfect fit
Charlie M.
Massive improvement to the sound and acoustics over the default earpads. The difference is so big I damn near think they ship wanting you or expecting you to buy these that's why they didn't put any effort into them. I don't really notice any cooling happening but they don't really get hot either so there's that. My biggest issue is that sometimes if you don't angle them right they hurt if you wear glasses. Unfortunate but it is what it is. gg
Joshua W.
Love the design, love the feel! Will definitely be buying more designs! Much more comfortable then the factory pads, twice as thick, and they breathe! Definitely recommend!
Leeland T.
So far so good! MUCH improvement in comfort over the OEM cushions that come with the Virtuoso XT. My OEM cushions were breaking down within a month of purchase. Hopefully these will last longer.
greg
Original cushions were thin and my ears were touching the cloth cover inside, which I had sort of gotten used to over time. These cushions are much thicker, giving my ears more room and do a better job of isolating sound. Overall, way better than the originals and completely worth the cost.
Henrik J.
Absolutely love the cushions. Much better than the originals for sure. My only gripe is that the Freeze function was only noticable the first few times of using the cushions. Now that im a few weeks in, I cant really notice any cooling functionality anymore.
Tristan S.
Great fit, my old earpads hurt my ears after like 2 hrs, not even an issue to think about with these. Great customer service, always super responsive and willing to help. Highly recommend!
Daniel K.
It is much better with these earpads, but I didn't give 5 stars beacuse of the wieght. I have started feeling weight of the headphones on the top of my head. After few hours in headphones I get little headache
Jozefjuly A.
Better than the original cushions
Andrea H.
They work great, my original ones were falling a part, was shocked how fast these came and they fitted on so easily.
Very happy and will absolutely be buying again.
Ricky A.
I ordered both the Headband cover that is compatible w/ the Corsair Virtuoso and the respective replacement cooling earpads. After a solid week and a half of use, I can say I wish I would have ordered these much sooner. I have had my headset for three years and I would get a headache from long sessions with it on, especially with a hat. The cover provides a cushion that helps w the stiffness and weight and the earpads even provide more privacy and noise cancellation in my comparison.
I was wary of the cooling claim but in need of new pads regardless. However, now that I can game comfortably for longer- I can also say that in those sessions the cooling effect was drastically noticeable compared to original earpads.
All around was able to game for longer due to being more comfortable and less sweaty.
John
Quick delivery, easy installation, quality product.
David E.
Nice and god lokk love them
Manuel M.
It has been a smooth experience and the quality of these cushions are amazing! They fit comfortably around my ears and while your ears do get a little warm with hrs of playing or listening to music, they are still cooler and better than the stock cushions. Would definitely purchase again!!
Christian
Pads are absolutely amazing, the fact they just feels so much better then the original once is straight up supprising, and with it not being fake lether it wont start smuldering like the original once.
would hightly recommend
Jeremy R.
Replaced my original Virtuoso cups with the cooling gel and love them. The depth of the cushion is much better and much more breathable.
David A.
Very comfortable! The cool gel works as soon as you put it on your ears and it's nice and cold. The leather part of the ear pad is only the visual part which is nice because it keeps its luxury look but the beauty comes in the cloth material which is the physical part that touches your ear. It is so nice to not have an ear pad stick to your ear. This is a huge upgrade.
Daniel
They fit perfectly. Just what I needed to replace my old ear pads that were literally falling apart. I almost bought an entire new headset. Quality was top notch.
Susan C.
Great product. Just as advertised. However, they did not fit my son’s headphones so I had to return them. The customer service and return process was quick and effortless. I will definitely try again when the newer model comes out.
Eric S.
The transformation from the OEM cushions to these is amazing. The headset was comfortable before, but the sweat was stupid! Love the cooling and extra comfort, plus I wear glasses, the extra cushion is way better!
James Jay W.
The cushions are comfy and look GREAT.
Benjamin .
The cushions Comfy in all ways even for people who have slightly bigger than average ears (unlike the OEM ones from corsair). The installation was really simple as expected.
The delivery went fast (2 days) and without any flaws whatsoever.
I can only recomend theese, to people who dont like the fit of the OEM one.
Joshua V.
Bought to replace the original cushions that fell apart at the seams. The inside diameter seems/feels to be smaller than the original Corsair cushions that I replaced, my ears touch the cushion more and I don't remember the old ones touching but overall great upgrade/replacement. I can't compare the old cushions because I threw them away immediately.
They are comfortable and the cooling seems to work well but it's winter and my office is cold during the winter so I won't really know until it's summer.
Lars J.
Ordered replacement cushions for my Corsair Virtuoso XT since even the under warranty replaced cushions provided by Corsair weathered away after time. Within 2 days i received the order (shipped to the netherlands) and installation was a breeze with the provided video. Overal the cushions seem to be great quality but only time will tell if they hold up. 10/10 would buy again.
Stewart L.
Excellent quality, very comfortable and easy to fit
ashleigh
Gives a nice cooling sensation very happy with the product
devon s.
very comfortable only complaint is i have no idea how to clean them and make the wc freeze stick after a day of use they lose their cold feel and i produce alot of dandruff and the pads get stained with it
Jonathan Z.
Top, way better then originals.
Much better Feeling and a bit better Sound.
David S.
Totally easy to install. No more pressure on my glasses when I wear my headset. No more sweaty ears. I cannot recommend these cushions enough.
Drew T.
New cushions are very good. My original padding was ripping so I got new ones after market and they are super comfy amd definitely high quality for 30 40 bucks. Didn't think the cooling padding would work at that much but does seem to help with longer gaming sessions.
Devin T.
These are some beautiful ear muffs that don't touch my ears so they feel great.
Jakub V.
original coushion on these are joke, WC ones are a bless that virtuoso might not even deserve
N R.
Big improvement over the standard cushions on my virtuoso xt, which were already decent. Definitely worth the upgrade.
Brian
I have never bought ear cushions from a company that wasn’t first party so I was worried about them distorting sound or being low quality. But I was pleasantly surprised when I received them. They where extremely comfortable and I like there chill tech it really keeps you cool in long listing in gaming sessions and the quality was very nice with no noticeable difference in sound quality. The owner/ceo texted me making sure that everything was good and it felt like a nice personally touch. Will 100% be ordering from them in the future.
Noah G.
These look and feel amazing! 10/10 would recommend! The stock ear cushions on the corsair virtuoso felt shallow in my opinion and after wearing them for a while they end up pushing in on my ears. But these wicked cushions have really nice padding that doesnt seem to wear out as quick. I will update my review if I notice anything else
Eugenia T.
Great set of cushions, just wish they were also angled for optimum comfort.
Mason K.
Shockingly easy to install, incredibly comfortable, good build, a quality product! Huge upgrade from the stock cushions! I replaced the stock cushions with these after they wore out but going forward I would replace them from the start!
Alejandro
Very good for the price and quality.
SHAWN
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THE EARPADS
Jaime
I really like this product.
The gel works great and the fabric feels good too.
I dare say it does a better job of cancelling out sound then the original ones. I just wish it came in the same colour as the original ones (brown for me).
Drew R.
Feels comfortable and like quality material, much better than the other replacements I have purchased. looks great and took 5 seconds to install!
Kelvyn S.
I use headphones every day for work and a little of gaming. I used to like high fidelity headphones as Audiotechnica msrb, Sony WH-100xm4, and so on. I was looking for a new headset with mic incorporated but with a decent sound quality due to my trained hears. The virtuoso wireless RGB XT was my selection, after some configurations it sounds decent. Then in a youtube review, I reached to the Wicked Cushions pads, I ordered 2, the classic black and the black camo. Once you open the box the quality is incredible, the feel is much better than the original. The sound is better, the soundstage is also better. And finally the black camo is really a good looking pads.
Stephen S.
The earpads arrived quickly and are a perfect fit on my headphones. 10/10 would definitely buy again.
Fernando
Loved the comfort and the thickness of the foam
Sheri
Great customer service ⭐️ I bought these for my son in law for Christmas. They arrived super quick and in a neat little pouch to store them in. I ordered in the afternoon and had shipped the next morning, the owner even texted to thank me for choosing their business. Very pleased with the whole process.
Øyvind
Awsome quality, great help from customer service.
Zahadul N.
Still very warm compared to stock earpads. However it is softer than the original pads and can extend game time. I'm sure these help but don't see why everyone and their mother is hyping them up.
Anthony
I don’t really notice a “temperature difference”, but they are comfortable for sure!
Talmaciu G.
The comfort is awesome, they are actually colder enough to make difference but i had 1 problem, the left ear pad brake a very tiny amount and after speaking with suport they send a replacement no charge.
5/5 Confort
5/5 Staff Suport
Jonathan T.
Love the cushions!
Czharcus J.
My ears feel cupped now, I love it.
Tyler
Extremely comfortable and significantly more durable than the stock pads my virtuosos came with (which broke in under a year)! Wear these with glasses and no discomfort at all. Highly recommend!
Nick .
These cushions feel much better than the original cushions that came with my headset. The shipping was also extremely fast, I got them within 48 hours of ordering!
Dustin
Best custom product I have bought in a while I have 1inch gauges In my ears and have no issues with these
Connor W.
They maybe more premium in terms of price as compared to other products, but their suberb build quality, amazing look and the ablity to keep your ears cool for extended sessions more than makes up for it.
I've had them for a few days now under hevay usage, and I've seen no wear or tear; as compared to others I've bought in the past which tended to shows signs of disrepair pretty early on in their lifecycle.
Honestly as a happy and satisfied customer, I couldn't reccomend them enough. Yes they are a bit pricey, but considering the premium quality you won't be needing to replace them in a long while.
Elvar
Very good quality, I’m very happy with my purchase.
Sage H.
Overall comfortable. Haven't had any issues with them so far! ☺
James D.
The pads nice and breathable. They are way bigger than the factory ones and so they swallow my head. They don't fit as natural, making my headphones stretch out wider, no longer fitting snug around my ears. I wish they had made these to match the original size of the factory earpads if not just a little bit more than where they are at. I loke them because my ears aren't so warm but in the winter I will through the factory ones back on.
Mikael J.
I don't like the fit, sorry it's uneven and the "cooling gel" you feel for like 3 seconds and then it's done
Nathaniel
Amazing, comfortable, wearable for long periods. I can’t complain at all! Love them!
Christopher W.
excellent service the order arrived and unfortunately their was a problem with the glue on the back of the ear cup contacted customer support who sent me a replacement.
excellent service would recommend to anyone
replacement arrived following day cannot fault it one bit
