Wicked Cushions WC Freeze Hybrid Fabric Cooling Gel Replacement Earpads Compatible with HyperX Cloud Black Camo

Functionality:10 Quality:10 Material:10I made sure to wait a month or so before reviewing this product. First of all, brand new, these ear cups smell amazing. Haha. The material is indeed very high quality. It is very soft and comfortable to use. The best part is that it is not made out of any materials that peel off with time or with use. So you can rest assured that your WC ear cups will be looking snazzy for many years to come. True to its name FreeZe, it does indeed keep your ears cooler than the stock ear cups your headphones will normally come with - by a large margin. If you are in an air conditioned room, there's a good chance that even after hours of use, you won't sweat. It's that good. I don't have air conditioning but I don't sweat as much with these on ... MoreFunctionality:10 Quality:10 Material:10I made sure to wait a month or so before reviewing this product.

But it is not washable, the cooling gel inside is not meant to be washed. I did message Wicked Cushions and they said the best way to keep your WCs clean and odor free is by wiping it with Clorox Disinfecting Wipes after every long session. So there's that! Overall, I highly recommend these products!

The earpads are definitely an improvement to the stock Logitech pro pads. My main issue is that they are nice and cool when you first put your headset on, but the cooling gel seems to just store the heat. They arnt necessarily hot but I dont have a cooling sensation that I was hoping for. Great pads for the price point! Love the durability!! I had a lot of confidence that they were durable enough for the install , which can definitely be hard on the leather retention ring. Shipping was fast and the quality of product was as expected!

Not comfortable, even for regular-sized ears. I bought these to replace my original SteelSeries Arctis 7 AirWeave earpads, which I greatly enjoyed. After a few deep washes, the original pads did not hold their shape and my ears touched the headphone drivers. The Wicked Cushions pads are thick enough to not let my ears touch the drivers, but they are too thick that they put an uncomfortable amount of pressure on my head. The ear holes are also too small for my normal-sized ears, that the tops of my ears touch the inside pleather. Pressure marks are visible on my skin after only an hour of wearing the WC pads. The inside pleather also restricts airflow, making the inside of the earpad hotter than the original pads. With my ears touching the pads and the increased ... MoreNot comfortable, even for regular-sized ears.

I bought these because I was hoping for them to be cooler than the stock cushions on my Logitech Pro X wireless headset that I use for work and wear 8 hours a day. Firstly, they are SIGNIFICANTLY more comfortable than stock cushions. I wear glasses, and having nice cushions make the headset much better for extended use. That said, I bought them specifically because they are advertised to keep you cool, and they don’t. Not at all. They are not cooling, in fact they are very warm. They do not cool you down or keep you cool at all, not even a little. They’re very comfy, so I’m keeping them on the headset over the stock cushions, but if I could go back in time I don’t think I would pay $30 for comfier cushions unless the stock ones needed to be replaced, but I’m not ... MoreI bought these because I was hoping for them to be cooler than the stock cushions on my Logitech Pro X wireless headset that I use for work and wear 8 hours a day.

This review is for the Arctis Wireless Pro version only. The WC Freeze cushions have a smaller diameter inner (the part that directly surrounds the ear) than the stock cushions! Fhile this may or may not help with sound isolation (I haven't noticed much of a change), it also limits ear size for comfortable usage. The cooling effect is negligible in comparison to the fabric stock cushions, as well. A neutral observation is that the WCs are noticeably denser than the stock cushions. I think that the "wide compatibility" of the cushions used for the Arctis Wireless Pro model ("old Arctis" in the selection on this site used for MANY makes and models) is what leads to just a meh experience for me. In contrast, a buddy of mine that has a newer Arctis headset was over the ... MoreThis review is for the Arctis Wireless Pro version only.

In contrast, a buddy of mine that has a newer Arctis headset was over the moon with his WC cushions as they were markedly better than his pleather stock cushions so YMMV based on make/model.I really wish I could give a better score as these WCs look amazing but the small inner diameter and negligible cooling affect prevent that in my case. Maybe more specific model selection (not using one size/shape cushions for an array of headphones) would yield better results for those of us "old Arctis"-type users.
