Wicked Cushions WC Freeze PC38X Cooling Gel Earpads for Sennheiser PC38X / PC37X / HD599 / HD598/ Game ONE & More 90s Black

The pad firmness is different than the OEM pads. while I love the firmness it also changes the clamp on your head and ears ultimately making the headset feel a bit more loose than before. That being say it isn't a huge issue for me. They do also add some weight to the headset put not a huge amount. The pads are nice and cool, easy to clean, and are insanely easy to install. Overall a very good product with little draw backs especially if your stock earpads are shot.

So far they’re pretty damn comfy. I bought them for my Sennheiser PC 37X headset. The stock ear pads on them are good if you don’t wear glasses, but after an hour they would give me a headache from the clamping pressure. WC pads are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better if you do wear them. I can’t comment on the longevity of them, but the comfort is pretty damn good.

Saw these on The WAN show and since my Game One's earpads were very old I decided to give these a try.Installation was super easy and I love the look of the '90s style!They are a little bit thicker than the original pads. My head is pretty big so I was worried the added thickness would make the headset feel too tight. Luckily that worry was unfounded and the headset feels great with them on.I have two very minor issues.First, I wish the gel was just a little bit softer. But I like really soft earpads. For most people that won't be an issue.Second, because I live in WI the gel was hard frozen when they arrived from being outside. I had to let them thaw before using them. Obviously this could not be helped. I only mention it so others might know to expect ... MoreSaw these on The WAN show and since my Game One's earpads were very old I decided to give these a try.Installation was super easy and I love the look of the '90s style!They are a little bit thicker than the original pads.

I bought these to replace the old stock pads on my pc37x headset. Initial impressions were great: they definitely feel cool to the touch and I think they even improved how the bass sounds on the headset. Unfortunately due to physics, they can't stay cool for long. My apartment is 80-85F in the summer and these pads just don't have the same breathability as the stock ones, so they cause my ears to sweat after half an hour of wear.I would suggest making a version that has more perforations for breathability.

Great quality earpads for a pc37x headset. It hasn't been warm enough here to really feel the difference on the cooling pads so no comment on that.Only real downside I found is that these pads change the sound stage somewhat. With the original design you could have an audio file of someone dropping stuff 2 meters behind you and you weren't always sure that this was just audio or happening in real life. With these I don't have that dilemma, and honestly, I kind of miss that.

If you've ever wanted to replace the earpads on Sennheiser headphones, you've encountered the dreaded "Sennheiser ring". It's the system they've been using to snap the ear pads in place. I've bought 2 replacements from 2 different companies, and none of them came with the ring, which forced me to reusue the stock one and manually fit the ear pads on the ring, which usually implies cutting the pad to fit. I was very suprised to see the Wicked Cushions pads come with the ring already installed, which makes the install 1000x easier.Also, these pads are a lot closer to the stock ones in terms of Frequency Response. The headphones are specifically tuned for the stock ear pads, and any other pads will have a drastic impact on the sound profile. Although it's not ... MoreIf you've ever wanted to replace the earpads on Sennheiser headphones, you've encountered the dreaded "Sennheiser ring".

Although it's not perfect, I'm happy to say that these pads have a somewhat minimal impact on the frequency response.

I have a old HD598 and a newer Sennheiser HD599 which sound identical, so i can compare how the new vs the original cups sound.The new cups keep in more of the sound of the speakers, probably because the original cups are very breathable by comparison.As a result it sounds bass heavy and sharper/higher pitched sounds are lower volume by comparing to how it sounded before.Wish you had a 'open ear' version of the earpads so it wouldn't change the sound so much.

They came in a cool little bag, exactly as described. The installation was easy and even has a QR code for a video how to on the specific type I bought if you're hesitant on doing it yourself. The material feels really nice and it does a good job keeping my ears comfortable and not so warm. They are a bit heavier than the regular pads so keep that in mind if you want to avoid extra weight on your headphones.Totally a worthwhile purchase if you're looking for a change in earpads!
