    We will make this quite simple:
    If you are an audiophile, you are probably going to have some issues with the sound difference. These cushions are geared more towards the avg consumer who does not have a delicate ear when it comes to sound.
    As for audiophiles, we have partnered up with some experts in sound to improve our future cushions towards you guys.
    But as a company, we have always been a COMFORT first approach. Thickness comes with some sacrifices.
    While it’s hard to please everyone, we will try our best in the future

      I am so disappointed, after all the rave, I believe these reviewers are getting paid to be positive.
      I got the freeze ones, bass is almost gone, because they are tighter on the top than on the bottom. Sure they are a bit more comfortable, but I bought an expensive headset to get good audio. Now they sound like some cheap 50 dollars headphones.

      @@markmulder996 If that's the case, then return your headphones and buy another model, it makes no sense buying a 370 dollar headset, another 30 for wicked cushions, total 400 dollars and they sound now like 50 dollars headphones. Might as well just buy something cheaper then.
      Maybe I should have gone for the upgraded cushions instead of the freeze.
      Add to that that now all the ANC is gone, so we paid this price because it has ANC as a feature, but now its gone.
      And then if you want to fold on your neck, it doesn't, because pads are too big, it feels like its strangling you.

    Virtuoso XT user here. Used both default and wicked cushions (non gel) custom pads. They do change the sound stage of the headset quite a bit in fact. First thought i had, they appeared far more bass-y. In fact the whole headset appeared more isolated from the outside world. After a while I noticed that the lows and mids were a bit muddy unfortunately. It was as the whole sound quality dropped a significant amount. Switched back to the default pads and the sound stage is clear and normal as intented. Keep in mind, Different headsets - different results! 😃

      I just got the Freeze WC Cushions (Corsair Virtuoso RGB XT) and I agree. It does make them a lot bigger and wider, but the natural ANC is better, and my games do sound more bassey and much clearer. Dolby Atmos is much more effective.... I don't know how, but the comfort is definitely there. Not for everyone, but good replacement for my peeling OEM cushions.

    After tuning the EQ with the Wicked Cushions it’s actually perfect for me. A lot easier on my ears and better for long play sessions. I have them for the Arctis Wireless Pro headset. The sound isn’t so harsh on my ears now. But it’s all preference and each user will have a different opinion. The nub definitely an issue for me and the Wicked Cushions solved it 💯!

    Corsair virtuoso xt user here. I ordered the normal ones not the cool gel ones and two things I could tell immediately after using the wicked cushions. Number 1 the the sound quality was immediately different I could definitely tell it was more muddy you can notice it, after switching back they sounded much more better on the original. Even though that is bad number two is worse. The worse thing is although they advertise it to be more comfortable and I can tell the comfort is the same or almost similar I have the pleather once and coming to the worst part the original cushion of the Corsair actually perfectly fit my ears but the wicked cushions however actually are a teeny tiny bit smaller and the underside of my ear actually touch the inside cushion of the headphone although it is not uncomfortable the my ears don’t touch like that on the original so keep that in mind. Personally speaking it feels like I wasted my money but then again if the pleather actually ever wears out on the Corsair original then I will use the wicked cushions which was the original intent but still very disappointing experience.
    Add on: One upside I can give to wc is my ears touch the speakers of the Corsair on the original although it doesn’t really bother me cuz it’s very little wc almost don’t touch. Still I’d much prefer the complete fit of my ears on the Corsair than wc. Very disappointed

    I just received my WC gel and normal pads for my Arctis Novas today. Definitely a noticeable loss of sound isolation. I would guess 2db. With anc on, I can now hear my computer fans humming instead of only noticing them in dead silence. All the clamping force is up top and with the wide distributed pressure toward the bottom of the ear means that it doesn't have enough force to hold down your lobes, at least for my ears. Still more comfortable than the stock ones though so although it's a better option, it doesn't feel like an ideal option as now the ANC functions more as a noise reducer rather than something to eliminate persistent distractions.

    So first off, I’m a huge fan and subscriber of your channel and I’m glad Wicked Cushions is working with you. Having said that, after ordering my Astro A50 wicked cushions (retro 90 style), I put them on and immediately felt a more comfortable feel. HOWEVER, the sound was terrible right off the bat. I tried to EQ them and made them as close to the default sound, but nothing worked. It’s comfortable, but it’s not worth the money if they can’t reproduce the sound the headphones were intended 😕

    • @TheTechne
      @TheTechne  Год назад +1

      Yeah the astros probably have the biggest change due to the stock pads being all cloth/open.
      Sound is very subjective, but I personally love the sound with the WC on the a40/50’s, a bit more in your face crisp pinch. Audeze feel

I don't need gel ones, I don't use them for hours, and I've seen comparative videos that the sound loses a lot in gel ones, it was recommended to replace them with those without gel, because the loss of sound is the least noticeable. Is it profitable to replace the factory earmuffs with Wickedcushions without gel? Or does it make no sense? according to you?. I am asking for a specific answer or someone who has tested it. Again, I don't want gel.

    Using the wicked cushions with the Penrose made the headset heavier for me. Headphones in general are very subjective due to both the fit and sound. I'm very curious to find out if Audeze addressed any of the feedback given for the Penrose in relation to their new headset coming out in January. To me, the VZR is still the best headset I've used compared to most of the other headsets I've tried. I know it's a wired headset but the fit and sound are by far worth the price. But again, this is all subjective as there are diminishing returns when you start investing in headphones that priced higher than a console.

    LETS GO!! Use wicked cushions. I used them on my steelseries pro wireless. Then I used them on my Audeze Penrose. A must for those because their stock cushions were bad. I even got an extra cushion to go on the top of the Penrose for extra comfort. Hoping the Maxwells don’t need wicked cushions, but if they work on them I’ll probably get some anyway

    I use the Razer Kraken V3 hypersense. I've noticed that wicked cushions don't make pads for these headphone or most of Razer's Line up. I mean I ain't mad because the earpads on the headset I have more or less resembles wicked cushions theme here. Thicker than most stock earpads. Cooling gel inside, sport like material on the front and pleather around to seal the sound in. Honestly though I've never really tried after market earpads I do get the point here. Most stock earpads are squishy and thin and full pleather. Like your ears get hot even faster, they wear out quicker and at say a higher volume they get uncomfortable quickly. Where the thicker earpads, I think most people at face value that don't currently use them. Think they will create more heat and perhaps have a negative thought surrounding it. But in my experience it does the exact opposite. Your Seal is better, you can wear the headphones for a lot longer and they don't look, I don't know how to put it. Super used once you own it for a while. My headphones look brand new still and earpads too and I've owned it since they released. If you are using stock earpads and there are aftermarket ones available say with the cooling gel, sports material on front and surrounded with the pleather... give it a try. I can guarantee you wont go back. Its like the best of both worlds. pleather seals and gets hot. Full sport is super breathable but leaks a lot. The mix of the two creates breathable and good seal what's not to like about it.

    They don't have a huge effect on the Nova 7's but the default ones are far more comfortable for me. The ear holes on the Wicked Cushions are too small and my ears touch the inside of the earpad wall and cause pain. I tweeted at WC asking if they would make larger ones and they aren't for now but they are offering me a full refund so that's cool.
    Honestly, the differences between stock cushions and WC are so minute that the differences cannot be adjusted using an EQ. Just as Techne and many others have said: Sound is subjective for each and every person so YMMV.

    XT user here. I have the wicked cushions and have been using the wireless Bluetooth tongle for ps5 so I can connect my phone at the same time. Safe to say I switched over to use the 3.5 lead (from controller to headset) and wow the sound difference is incredible. I’m no audiophile but for me the sound when using the 3.5 (even without EQ settings on ps5) totally blew me away. I know a lot of users don’t like the sound quality on the XT’s but for me they are incredible

      The Razer Blacksharks are wayyyyy better. Easily bigger driver, higher & lower freq. range, wayyy lighter & more comfy, can be used wirelessly. The proof is in the taste of the pudding.
      Astro A50 would be more of a competitive headset, but it's expensive asf
