Man you’re the only person I’ve seen who tells you how to put on the cushions correctly
Its hard
I got my arctis pro wireless for working from home and wicked cushions based on one of your other videos and I LOVE them. I have a big head so the metal headband BARELY clears the top of my head, but they're still leagues more comfortable than any headset I've used before and the sound on them is fantastic. Thanks for doing what you do!
thank you
Does it make the Arctis Pro Wireless more comfy? I have not been enjoying it w/ stock earpads & can't wear them too long w/o being uncomfortable because of the tightness. X_x
@@julso9208 Wayyyy more comfy, I've been using them ever since this comment and can wear them for hours at a time without issue
Thanks so much for the guide, your style of applying them is much easier. They are so much more comfortable than the stock ear cushions that come with the Arctis Pro. I bought the freeze gel speedracer cyan and my ears are singing in delight. Subscribed
I JUST BOUGHT MINE, not sure though which one he uses, bought them in amazon de for 35 euros with like a blue ting on the picture, there was one that looked the same for 30 euros and one full pleather also for 30 euros, but the 35 euros is the correct one right?
loving your reviews. got me a pair of wicked gel cushions for my arctis pro and far out they are comfortable and give plenty of space for my larger ears after I had a bit of trouble fitting them into the stock ones.
Grabbed some Arctis 3 console edition at Best Buy on sale. Threw my Wicked Cushion cooling gels on there and greatly improved them. My ears always touch the drivers with the stock pads
Exactly what I was looking for for my Arctis 7. They tend to feel uncomfortable after a while and I don't want to buy something else because the sound is so amazing.
Thanks for sharing, you saved my gamer's life ;)
I just got some wicked ear cushions in today I can't attest to the long term comfort yet but for the three hours of my first session with them was good. I do think the gel cushions sounded better than the stock. Though the stock stayed cooler longer. On the comfort I will give the edge to Wicked. They feel more plump (I do wish they were a bit thicker) and more sturdy on my head. As far as softness goes the stock is slightly softer but the wicked just feels better with the support the foam has. I guess you could say its like saying a medium firmness bed is better than a soft bed because of the support it offers.
Also your video on how to replace the ear cushions is far superior to Wicked's instillation video. They just say stretch it over the ring and then twist it a little. That was I installed them at first but then I saw your video and re-installed them your way. Your way was much easier and they felt more secure on the headset. You might reach out to them and get yourself a deal to show them how you install the ear cushions.
thanks for the review, i went on to just order a pair to see how they are. hope it as good as it looks
ordered a set because of this video, thank you for the coupon, and your instructions to install them made it to fast and easy. 10/10 video. thank you!
I watched a few of your videos and I really like how you explain things and, get more in depth than other youtubers.
I bought the arctis 7 thanks to you, so I will give it a shot, the original ear pads are comfy but everything you recommend is worthy. Greetings from Ecuador :)
I out in some wicked cushions on my arctis 9x last night (I got the set with the cooling gel). There is a noticable difference is no longer leaking with the stock cushions. The sound seems punchier as well. Bottom line it's a great upgrade. My one criticism is that I wish the ear cup was a tad wider.
you are the best!! your guide on how to put them on was the easiest of all!!
I love my arctis pro wireless. Using it two years and its like from day one - they even made some software updates for better sounding. Though I would love if they make clock for battery charger
Rockin' my Arctis 5 (2019) while watching this. Great vid as usual.
I've bought 3 pairs of Wicked Cushions now. I wouldn't have believed it unless I tried them, they're the single best upgrade to any headset I've put them on.
Thank you sir. Worked perfectly and smoothly
thanks for this rotation tip. was having a hard time installing my new ear cushions lol.
trying to figure out how to attach the pads and looking at other vids. you just had to spin it! thanks! youre the best so far!
Excellent guide. Thanks boss.
Bro i was so nervous to search and replace the cushions, but you are a legend! Ty u so much
Such an underrated tech reviewer honestly . Love watching your vids when they come out.
thank you so much
@@TheTechneI currently have a headphone that has s 0 oval shaped ear pads.
When looking for ear pad replacements, should I measure the ear pads diameter, or the diameter of where I will put the ear pads on?
been had these, they are amazing also sound quality is better
I love seeing your channel grow, been here since 30k! big fan still!
thank you so much for the continued support
I was struggling for like an hour to put the new cushions on , thank you for the spin technique
Just got some gel’s can’t wait to get them
I upgraded my arctics pro wireless to the cooling gel wicked cushions back in July based off seeing you advertise them. Love them.
Same here, they're great!
How do they hold up a year later?
@@hugemeansteve6275 still good! I’m using Audeze Penrose now and I bought more wicked cushions for those.
Always clutch dude. The spin for the win!
thank you so much this was really helpful
Thanks techne for adding the indian Amazon link! Whenever i buy them gonna definitely use your affiliate link. Thanks for introducing me wicked cushions too
I just got the Arctic Pros yesterday. I may purchase some soon.
Just received mine and put them on and oh maaaaaaaaan sucha huge difference with my arctis 5!
OMG!!! Thank you!!! Best useful video ever 💯‼️
Genius!! thank you so much!
thanks for recommending. Have you cleaned the gel cushions yet? If so, how do you clean them without damaging them?
Definitely will help the headset become more comfortable and looking stinking good!
Bought the 9x and gel cushions based off your vids thx!
Thankyou for this. I was wondering if I could replace them since I wear glasses and it hurts my head so much.
I'm getting them. I've been using the default earcups on the pro wireless for a year now, but it's time for something more comfortable
This is completely true the cooling gel really does work
thank you for the video!
damn it techne, your energy your enthusiasm. Its great, love the reviews brotha!
Going to buy some today!
Thank you!
Been looking to get some replacement pads for my Arctis Pros for a while now! These look great! Ordered some with your link! Many thanks.
your gonna love them
@@TheTechne I was actually considering risking some ebay china specials, these look way better 😂
Does it make the Arctis Pro Wireless more comfy? I have not been enjoying it w/ stock earpads & can't wear them too long w/o being uncomfortable because of the tightness. X_x
@@julso9208 I would say yes, but I never had a problem with them being too tight, they just made my ears hurt after a while but the new pads fixed that issue for me and made the headphones comfortable for hours of use for me! They're less firm than the stock pads so that may reduce any tightness you were experiencing - I'd say it could help with that though. For the cost I'd say its worth a shot!
Best man about tech stuff
I went with the pleather ones and they isolate outside noise better than the Arctis 7+ cushions. I live close to a highway and they pretty much get rid of those faraway noises.
Didn't know about these until now! I was deciding between Steelseries & A40s. Ordered the A40 due to me being a 6"4 guy, big head , heard the A40s give more comfort for a bigger head when playing long sessions. Hope i made the right choice..
I love the A40's
Hey thanks for making this vid, I DM'ed u on twitter a while back regarding my ears touching the inside of the drivers, these have more depth to them as well as less give, I'll give these a try when I can!
Awesome content Techne double thumbs up mate 👍🏻👍🏻
thank you so much
Got the cooling gel ones for my cloud stingers so good the default earcups are good but the wicked cushions are on another level
Could you try to fit them in the razer barracuda x? That is the only thing holding me back to buy them
Just ordered the WC cooling gel for my Nova 7 because I am getting bad ear & jaw aches. They start shipping Nov 30. I hope they fix my problem because they ran me $70 CAD! I love everything else about the headset so far. Here's hoping.
I love this channel.
I had to return mine artic 1 x cuz the clapping force was squeezing my head... I was wondering if these ear cushions will make clamping force less irritating ?
do you prefer the pleather ones or the soft ones
Can this old SteelSeries Arctis Ear Cushions fit the new nova headsets?
My glasses are really digging in on the left ear with the standard arctis pro cushions. What would help me?
Will these work on the new nova arctic pro wireless headset
I'm a SteelSeries fanatic, and I am looking to get a new pair of cans for my TV watching and Music listening. Which one of these models is best for that, and will also do well enough playing games? I don't use headphones much when playing games, preferring to keep it open air and use my PC speakers, but occasionally I'd like to use them. But, my primary use will be watching movies and listening to music. Any suggestions on which one I should buy?
You can make them even more comfortable by bending a slight V shape into the headband aswell
I have the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless version and for some reason I don't see them supported by wicked cushions, they specifically say Nova Pro WIRED only. The wireless version has clip on mechanism for the cushions maybe that why. In any case do you or anyone else know where I can buy good ear cushions for the Nova Pro Wireless?
my arctis 7s cushions seal started to break and fall off, im glad i found this video cause i dont want to buy a whole new headset just got a pair of the black gel cushions cant wait to try them
Thanks 👍
You’re gonna make a video of the Steelseries Arctis 7p+? I ordered one and it’s coming Monday and I want you review of it
yeah
Just bought some of the cool gem ones going to see if they make my steel series better
@joshua Castaneda did the gel wicked cushions make your steel series better in comfort and sound? I'm curious to know, I'm thinking of purchasing some.
Guys it actually worked, I tested this. Do it the way he says it!
MAN even gave an aussie link! all about this guy
how would you compare noise isolation between the gels and full pleather? i have the full pleather on my sonys thinking about coping the gels but if its not noticeable ill get the gels
Hello, i love your content, i bought arctis nova 7p and i want to know if those earpads will fit in with my headset? Also will it reduce sound leaking and to fit better my ear than original cuz my ears are bigger . Thank you
i hope they help cause the standart ones are just not thick enough and my ear pushes against the headphones and it starts to hurt after 1 or 2 hours
I got the arctis 7p+ and the cushions feel slightly different in size and it’s pretty annoying because the left side feels really empty and not insulated so I hope this can fix it
I have the hybrid gels. And I'm thinking of getting the leather. Do the hybrids have good isolation/ keep sound in? I can't tell if it has a difference. If I take my headphones off I can hear it but I assume once it goes on my head it'll actually block the sound that way. Just don't know if I need to also get leather earpads or if the hybrids will block out good. I have some sound leakage on my 7p+
Hi @Techne does arctis earcups fit the Razer Barracuda? It's so hard to get replacement for Razer here in my country. Thank you
If you are considering getting the gel ones, just get the velour. The gel stays cool for 5min and then gets hot after a while, and it takes a while to cool down after you have been wearing them.
What is better velour or just the upgraded leather earpads
There seems to not be any way to clean them either, according to support
Sadly not availeble in the Netherlands. I’m looking for a good set for my 9X
Do the wicked coushins fit the new nova pro wireless as I have one ordered.
I sweat behind the ears with the stock arctis 7+ airweave material, especially in summer time, which do you recommend: the freeze velours, leather or weave ? Thanks.
Which ones would you recommend to use with glasses on?
Can someone help me get the differences between the 3 options, in terms of sound, comfort, and sound leak
Got them for my audio technica ath pg1.. when you put them on they're cooler but not for long.. but i admit the sound quality is much better than the cushions that came originally on
Cooling pads or gel inside these products never does much. Once the heat of your head gets to the gel, it’s gonna stay the same temperature
@@randomboiyo6254 its slightly cooler (not mentionable) .. butbthe sound quality is better
Have you tried wearing them to the gym and if so are they washable/cleanable? I wanted to upgrade my m50x with the gels but their rubber sweat covers don't work with their own cushions, and also support told me basically there's no way to wash them bc it will ruin the sound or something. Which basically puts me back to square one with my disintegrated stock m50x pads. Very difficult company to work with.
I just found this video because the earpad on my arctis 7 tore and i panicked ..thinking it was diffcult to replace AND OH MY GOD your video saved me from ..being like really sad.. ididnt know it was this easy ti replace ear pads ! THANK YOU SO MUCH I could cry happily honestly
which ear pad did you buy, I have the same problem and would like to get the original but they don't sell them anymore.
You just made me order the WC Freeze cushions, my Arctis Pro Wireless hurt my head today while playing VR so I hope this will solve that in the future 👌
your in for a treat
Can you pleaseee make a video about the new razor mask
I don't know, the stock Arctis ear cushion is the primary reason why I bought it in the first place. Are this Wicked Cushions breathable?
I got the gel cushions and the stock cushions are definitely more breathable. The wicked cushions are more plush and cozy and lock in sounds better. Because of the extra padding though it makes the fit a bit tighter.
What arctis headsets would you recommend if I currently use xbox but usable on pc since I'm getting one in the near future 😄
Techne is the best salesman out there. Im going to buy a set for my headset rn!!
lol, just stating awesome things
What is the best arctis headset ? Im confused to buy steelseries or cordair virtuoso. Which one should i buy ?
I got the 7x but using them with glasses hurts sometime any soluciones for that?
Does it make the Arctis Pro Wireless more comfy? I have not been enjoying it w/ stock earpads & can't wear them too long w/o being uncomfortable because of the tightness. X_x
These work on nova 7 wireless also? Thanks!
I got one of these. Wicked cushion earpad. Btw how to clean this?
Do you have a link for Philippines wc?
DUDE I LOVE YOU I ACCIDENTLY REMOVE CUSHION AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TOO DO
haha saved me so much time on how to put them on i would spend about 5 or 4 mins cause i didnt know but u showed me the way that took 5 seconds thank u so much hH
yeah man some headsets don't have the notch, and man it's so hard
@The Techne, is there a difference in sound between wicked cushions with gel and those without? I mainly play fps like escape from tarkov, where sound is essential
Up for this , techne missed to review the sound comparison with the stock pads, maybe cause it does not affect the sound it just isolate them if you got the pleather one.
do these work on razer kraken ultimates? or only steelseries?
How long does wicked cushion earpads last?
I can appreciate you supporting your sponsor, I have a set of WC’s, but Brainwavz are a better feel for me personally. Might have to try the gels though👍🏻
I was going to comment and say the exact same thing. i have have both and find Brainwavz to be longer lasting and more comfortable.
Thanks for noting I may look into
I'm late to the party, but I got a pair of Arctis 1. Does anyone know how the Wicked Cushions compare to Brainwavz earpads?
