its not breathable and my ears get really hot under the pads

They were a huge upgrade from the pads the headset came with. The material was comfortable and very cool compared to the originals. Definitely worth the purchase!

Good cushions. The original Corsair ones feel horrible and split at the seems. These are pretty comfortable and I don’t really see them breaking anytime soon.

I’m not much of a review person, but I had to write one for these. Absolutely blew the stock ear cups out of the water, these things are so dang comfy. Also much better at keeping cool, I wear this headset for hours on end for work and never have to take them off because of discomfort, definitely could not say the same about the cushions that originally came with the headset. Will be recommending these to all of my friends!

I bought the T-Pain edition XT's about 10 months ago. Having read all the reviews on them, I knew there was a good chance I wouldn't like the fit n' feel of them. When I got them, my excitement quickly died as I realized the fit of the stock ear pads was even worse than the worst case scenario I had imagined when pulling the trigger. Not wanting to bother with the return process, I just set them aside and didn't use them at all.
Fast forward to mid August and I decided to start looking into options to make them more comfortable. I stumbled across a YT video showcasing Wicked Cushions replacement ear pads. The guy was using them on a pair of XT's and raved about how much better they made the headset feel and sound. The next video I watched was a guy breaking down the advanced connection/multi connection capabilities of the headset which really sets it apart from the competition (which is what attracted me to them in the first place) and sure enough, I saw the guy had a pair of what looked like Wicked Cushions on them. Turned out they were Wicked Cushions and this guy also raved about them and about how much of a necessity changing out the stock pads on the XT really is. That was enough for me, I ordered a pair of the Black Camo pads since I love shade camo and nothing else really matches with the Blue on the T-Pain edition XT's.
When they arrived, I was pleased with the packaging and the ease of install. When I put the headset on my head with the Wicked Gel Cushions on them, I couldn't believe the difference in comfort - it was almost night and day! The seal on my ears is also much improved over the stock pads, which leads to much better sound (though not perfect since the XT's have such a weak clamp force).
I went with the gel version and just like any cooling gel product it does cool your ears initially - keep in mind all cooling gel heats up though, so once the gel heats up on these pads, they won't feel cool anymore (that is normal). So while the cooling is kind of a dimishing return situation the longer that you wear them in a single session, the extra bit of sound iso that it provides makes it well worth the little bit extra cost imo.
All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase and am happy to state that Wicked Cushions took the "pain" out of using my T-Pain XT's
I would recommend to anyone running stock pad on their XT's - thank you Wicked Cushions!

Cushions are a lil thick and hard to break in. Virtuoso purchase so be mindful, despite the size they are quite comfy. Wear and tear has already started on the inner ear there are some strings that are starting to show after only a month.

Love these cushions. They keep my ears from touching the speakers and it takes a really long time for them to heat up on my head. Even once the do heat up I'm not sweating like I was with the stock ones. I accidentally stabbed them with my glasses when I was wearing them and put my glasses on and it didn't leave a mark or anything. (my previous pair of ear pads got ruined because the glasses just stabbed right through the material and left a hole)

I am really liking them they are comfortable and keeps my ears cool.

I love the feel of these cushions for the Virtuoso by Corsair as they make it comfortable (was actually looking at replacing the headset until I found these).
Would appreciate wider selection of colors but that's nitpicky.
Huge step up

So much more comfortable than the stock ear set that comes with the headset. My right ear would start to ache after a while of wearing the headset. Now nothing, I am very impressed with the headset and these made them 10x better in my opinion.

Virtuoso is a great headset except that it is one of the most uncomfortable headset I have ever used. I play games in excess of 5-8hrs continuously sometimes and it was down right painful. So happy with the upgrade and the pain is gone! Sound is much better through isolation, and no more sweaty ears. Just look at the difference with my original pads that were pancaked after 1 year of use. So happy I'm ordering a second and third set to give some flavor.

They are super comfortable. I live in Texas and it was during the heat wave that I got these, so they were great during that.
They don't tend to like to stay locked in place so maybe recalibrate the fasteners, but thats just maybe my model could be the issue
Uses: Gaming and music, mainly.

Very comfy. Doesn't overheat my ears. Doesn't negatively impact the sound quality. Looks flashy because nobody's going to assume that black headphones have pink cushions by default. Can't say anything negative about the product itself.
Only the shipping costs might be a lot depending on where you live. Even though I'm extremely happy with these, I would be hesitant to purchase these again as the original price of these cushions was 31 euros and the shipping costs were 12 euros which is a little too extreme to be honest.
Filipe V.
10/10 would buy again!
Ardian M.
Nice simple packaging easy to install and the cushions were without a doubt way more comfy and breathable then the stock ones on the Corsair virtuoso XT
Gregory E.
Very good quality ear cups, feel like they are built to last
Joey B.
Comfortable and cool. What else could you ask for.
Ozaer K.
They are very comfy, however don’t buy the ones with cooling gel. The cooling gel doesn’t seem to make a difference the earmuffs still get hot. Doesn’t seem worth the price difference
Michael S.
The only thing I'm going to say that these are way better than the stock earpads and makes them feel more premium. Love you wicked cushions and keep up the good work
Jose R.
Love these! I was hesitant at first but with the stock earpads feeling super warm after barely 2 hours of using them. With these new ones? Let Me Tell You why these are such a good purchase!
1st, they are thicker than the stock earpads, and a whole lot more comfortable.
2nd, I plaid last night for roughly 5 hours, and did I feel my ears and the earpads super warm? Not at all! They actually kept pretty good to be fair, and again. Super comfortable earpads.
I want to also point out the customer service. Had a little hiccup with tracking the order to which I reached out, and in no less than 8 hours of having reached, maybe even sooner(I had to go to sleep) I had already gotten a resolution to the hiccup.
So, good product, feels super nice to the point I wanna keep them on. And customer service was awesome. So yes this gets 5 stars from me.
JAMES P.
Definitely an upgrade from the stock cushions. The most notable of which are that my ears get less hot after 2-4 hrs, and my ears no longer touch the driver.
Arnaldo Z.
Really comfortable and fit my ears perfectly.
Lance L.
Love these cushions! They feel so much better than stock! Cooler and thicker for sure!
Lance L.
These are amazing! Very comfortable for extended time use. And really do feel cooler and lighter on the ear!
Tanveer R.
Great product. Good quality and very easy to install. Much better than the original ear pads that come with the headset.
Frank A.
Much better than the stock Corsair cushions thanks guys

My new Wicked Cushions received & installed without issue. I love the new cushions. My headset now fits my head better than it did brand new. My friend turned me onto this corsair headset a year or so ago because he had them. Funny enough his oem cushions lasted about as long as mine did. He was in the market for a new headset when I told him my oem cushions were falling apart. Upon receiving and installing them I immediately recommended your product to him. A 30$ fix for a 200$+ headset is a no brainer and the form and fit is an improvement to the original product. Thank you for a wonderful online experience and a great product.
sincerely,

Very comfortable and much better than the stock earpads to be honest. Giving 5/5 only wish they had a little more noise surpression, but that may not be possible with this type of material! Will buy again when there are more colors.
Brandon H.
I can gaming longer and enjoy listening to music without ear fatigue
Brad E.
I use them for gaming and lite music and movies.
No complaints here. I've purchased hybrids before for a pair of M50X and was impressed by how they were actually cooling compared to the stock pads and it's the same story here.
I would have one suggestion, although it's of no fault to WC. For those of us Americans who are larger than the average male bear, I have the size adjustment maxed out. The extra thickness of the pads is the greatest thing since the stock pads are so shallow. And I'm sure your designers came across this, but at max adjustment the bottoms of the pads flare outwards . I think a good idea would be to sacrifice a small amount of padding at the top of the pad to compensate for the flare out at max size. Again, it's not wickeds fault, but Corsairs because I can't extend the size just a TAD more.
Materials are great, no complaints there. Instructions were helpful in installation bc I had initially done it upside down. Still though, the pros SIGNIFICANTLY outweigh the small con that is of no fault to you guys. I've already recommended them to friends with Virtuosos.

The product is quite good, but the nice seeming approachable customer service is fake.
When I actually wrote an email to ask if two orders can be merged into one shipment, they never ever responded.
"If you have any questions, just reply to this email..." forget that, they wont.
Cameron T.
Super satisfied and they are exactly what I had in mind. Highly recommend for anyone who needs to replace those tiny stock Virtuoso cushions
