I think they are a necessary replacement as I felt the bump against my ear and it would actually become painful after around 20 minutes. I have the cooling gel version of the Wicked Cushions and they make the headset 100% comfortable at a slight decrease in the noise canceling capability of the headset.
I liked the headset before the wickedcushions, and I like it even more with them. Super comfortable. I don' think there's another headset out there that has comparable comfort and features.
@@Al3xDk I hope you're not disappointed as I am. And out of pocket too. Notice how no one mentions sound. Sure they are a bit more comfortable, but you'll be back to sound equal to a 50dollars headset.
@@MG-bw9hs just received the freeze. Extra normal cushion and a new layer of cool gel on top. Take away that and u get the normal wicked cushion that’s definitely better than the standard
The bump didn’t bother me the first few days of owning the Nova Pro but it got worse. Ordered the upgraded ones and so far they feel much better. Played for about 4-5 hours with zero discomfort. Didn’t notice too much change in sound quality either
I have these with the cooling gel. The gel only last about 2 mins I originally changed the headphone cups because my ears kept getting hot with the original ones. These are cool but idk if I'd recommend them they need to make a all mesh ones like the old artis pro wireless ones because my ears rarely got hot with those on for long sessions
i didnt think i was going to have that problem but after an hour of use the stock earpads heatup a bit and compress more and now i can feel that bump but only on my left ear.
I have these as well and I know what you mean about the uneven pressure. The fix is to move the elastic headband down to the bottom notches which will then let you expand the stems, providing you a wider fit. Should fix the weird clamping.
Yep, that is our recommendation as well. If you feel the clamping force harder, extend the fit so the cups sit lower on your ear. The ear opening is much bigger than the of, so you will have plenty of room to adjust the height
I have the same feeling that top is pressing and bottom is loose. But not a big deal and I think in time it will probably compress at the top a bit more and will be just fine.
Great comfort BUT the headset itself does not have enough clamping force to really make the WC conform to your head and to have a comparable sound quality like with the stock ones. So by installing this you actually lose quite some sound quality and noise cancellation as the foam is harder and don’t press enough on the bottom, letting sound out and ruining the experience.
You should have been the one doing the review, not these paid youtubers. I'd much rather have honest people reviewing stuff. You are 100% correct. I suspect the comments praising it, they either do not care for sound quality, or they just cant admit they wasted money on this wicked cushions.
i bought these, but they don't seal well, more pressure above the ear and on the underside they don't touch my head,at all so no not for me, i'm gonna try the slimmer ones, cause they really make good cushions, i'd rather see steelseries themselves make fabric cups like they did for the wired nova pro's.
I dont feel the knob on my ear but i ordered some because my ears sweat under the original pads. Hope to receive them soon. They say 2 Weeks from the US to Germany.
I don't find the comfort too bad but yeah, the bump takes some of the comfort away, and i can only imagine people with large ears. I won't get anything without a seal, as it's not too bad for me and i don't want to mess up the anc. I might try the wc direct upgrade replacement, that looks like it's the same material. Waiting for confirmation that they're the same and just thicker.
@caesaraugustus4563 the occasion I do use transparency, I usually have enough background noise that I can't tell...... the only thing I can really tell is the obvious processed sound you'll typically get from a mic sending picking up audio..... pretty much about what I expected.
I guess I'm lucky, because I don't feel ANC bump at all, even when I press headphones towards my head, I guess it depends on your ear form. Ether you ear is designed for Nova Pro or not. However, when I had HyperX I always used breathable cushion (HyperX provides for free: leather and fabric cushions and headphones are 100 eur), I don't like leather like feel, especially in summer. Sadly Nova Pro headset has only leather ones, so I ordered fabric from WC. Which brigns my headset now in total 350 eur.
i just got the nova pro wireless i cant feel ANC when they are on my ears, only if i take them off and poke at the headset with my hands. im 27 years old and 5ft8 not sure if that helps id say i have a normal sized head for my height lol. maybe its an issue for very tall people
Does anyone else find the clamp force to be insanely strong? I got these a couple days ago, did 3 hours last night and they gave me a headache. How do I fix that ?
Got them today after 5 plus hours I was getting discomfort on my left ear . I do wear glasses and find the headset doesn't fit me very well at all. The band sits back on my skull instead of over the center. Even at it's smallest size it rides low on my ears requiring me to wear a hat. Im not small either at 5’10 180lb I liked the Arctic pro better but it doesn't work on my series X.
@@vitorfernandes651 I am not wrong. It might be your unit that is shit. But with Wicked cushions the anc still blocks out most fan noises. Before making assumptions you might wanna check the product you got. Instead of assuming they are all like that. Thanks bud. 🤣
I tried the wicked cushions on my Nova Pro Wireless but at the end of the day I still wouldn’t use them. I might get after the Razer Barracuda Pro or the Epos
@@bewarethebat0 I would also not use the headset with these wicked cushions, the headset was great from stock. Issues with these freeze wicked cushions 1 - sound quality is much worse 2 - More pressure at the top than bottom, leaking sound (you lose all bass) 3 - ANC all gone 4 - It feels like the headset will fall from your head, not sure if due to weight or because not enough clamping force 5 - Swiveling to put in your neck is worse due to size of pads, feels like they strangle you 6 - Pads are harder, so it doesn't conform to your head 7 - Bass is much worse, not punchy, not clear, and much decreased ( I am using the bass equalizer 8 - You get now sibilance on highs, instead of the crystal clear highs from stock
@@bewarethebat0 After trying them for two weeks wicked cushions do make them a lot more comfortable I have to say. Didn’t notice a sound quality change
I bought wicked cushions for the nova 7x headset and it made the comfort worse. The pads for the earholes are much smaller diamater than the factory ones and they hurt my ears. Really wish wicked cushions would make them with larger ear holes for bigger ears.
Just got these didn't notice and bump before but my ears were in a sauna. Now I can wear them for extended periods with no issue. Why steelseries didn't offer thicker cooling cups is beyond me. My guess is they wanted food looking head phones and yeah these look comically thick. Another though is geez they are expensive. Paid 25 for mine on Amazon.
Heard such amazing things about the Arctis Pro Wireless but unfortunately I have tinnitus and closed-back headsets exaggerate the sensation greatly :( It seems companies have given up on creating feature rich open-back headsets. Does anyone know of any open-back equivalents?
I don't get it, are these youtubers paid off to be positive? This was a huge waste of money, I was fine with comfort on the stock pads, but due to all the praise I bought these freeze pads, its terrible, there's more pressure at the top, meaning the bottom is not tight, which leads to a huge DECREASE in bass. The sounds is more flat, bland. Even the highs are not as nice, I was just playing witcher 3, and Gerald speaking there's now sibilance. ANC is all gone too, no difference with it activated or deactivated. Also, add to that, these feel now like they are gonna fall from my head, not sure if its the added weight or something, if I look up, these definitely fall down my head. Its not worth a small comfort increase to ruin sound. I paid 370 dollars so I could get good sound and ANC, if I wanted bad sound I'd have bought a cheap headset. I am back to stock pads, I never felt the ANC bump anyway. The stock is so much better.
Of course aftermarket pads with different dimensions and materials will change the sound. You need to buy the slimmer WC replacement cushions and tune the EQ to make them sound pretty much exactly like stock.
You dont need any tool to take off the cushion's Steel Series put out a video on how to do this with your fingers. Dont risk damaging or scuffing your headsets .
They're kinda shit, the clamping pressure with these cushions is way to tight. With these and wearing glasses is basically impossible, my head hurt after 15 mins. I still love the headphone but just use the stock cushions.
Are you sure you have this mode. Clamping force is actually not enough for me. I use glasses and have no issue with these or stock. The wicked cushions are still crap tough
you should NEVER put "air pressure" on the headphones by pushing them against you (4:28) the air will deform the drivers and basically destroy the headphones.
I extensively tried the Nova Pro Wireless and as someone who’s been around audio pretty much all my life and understand what good audio is, I can honestly say that just don’t buy this headset Yes it has really good sound quality for a gaming headset, but I think it’s not that different to the old Pro Wireless. If you really want the new Nova headset much better value one is the Nova 7. It has very similar sound to the Nova Pro Wireless as it has the same drivers and same frequency response of 20Hz-22kHz. Nova Pro Wireless only gives you 20Hz-40kHz in wired mode The Nova 7 has a much better bass and mid accuracy and treble accuracy is almost identical. The only difference is, Nova Pro Wireless has ever so slightly better imaging, but not a game changing difference The £329 price for the Nova Pro Wireless is mostly for all the features it has like the swappable batteries, DAC etc What I done with Nova 7 is, bought the official SteelSeries Nova leatherette ear pads and wow it’s amazing So if you have the old Pro Wireless, save yourself the money and stick with it. It’s actually louder than the new Nova Pro Wireless as well, which means it extracts those frequencies better or if you really think you need a new headset, buy the Nova 7 for £180 and you’ll love it
Garbage in Garbage out, this goes for any gaming headset. Music/sound in any game is compressed, meaning no matter how good your headset is you won't really tell the difference.
@@visiblehiggs130 I do agree in most games the sound is compressed, but some games have much better sound engine than others. As for headsets in my opinion 80% of headsets are garbage, but there are a few that are tuned very well and has accurate bass, mids and highs and this isn’t just from my personal listening experience, this is from professional sound measuring by some websites. SteelSeries Nova 7 is a really good headset, but what really annoys me with certain headset companies is, like this Nova Pro Wireless it costs £329 and literally they’re charging that mostly because of features and not sound. In my opinion the Nova 7 sounds more accurate and it’s much more comfortable and it’s almost half the price
@@famezy9103 yes but for me it's worth the features for the price because no other headset has such features. I have 3, 350$ headset I can't really tell the difference, I have jbl quantum one, Sony xm3 headset and nova wireless. The dac in controller is not really good. I even have shure se 846 IEM but the even that sounds same. I don't care about accuracy but more of immersion, they can sound bassy or whatever as long as sounds good.
@@visiblehiggs130 That’s my point about telling the difference. Hearing is subjective and to my hearing the Nova 7 sounds the same as the Nova Pro if not better. For gaming I care about imaging and accuracy of the frequency and after tuning my Nova 7 to my liking, I wouldn’t change it for anything else Again about difference, there’s quite a difference between my Nova 7 and Sennheiser HD560S. I only use the Sennheiser for music however, if it had a built in mic and wireless, it would be the ultimate gaming headset/headphone. It is superb and known for its sound
You’d expect better quality but I’ve had nothing but issues with them. First off. One doesn’t even clip on and second they are all crumpled and wrinkly on arrival. The normal ones are the only good ones out there that I’ve ever seen and even those suck. This headset is cursed to have bad ear cushions no matter what. Very disappointed. I thought I was going to get a long lasting quality product but I’ve been fooled. Definitely will not order from them again and I’m getting a full refund. Going back to the old cushions. The quality control is atrocious. I bought them a while back too and had a similar issue. If you are smart you will avoid these at all costs and look elsewhere. If you’re a gambler then take the risk. And I thought wicked cushions were supposed to be good. They should not have those issues on arrival. There’s also a design flaw with this headset and you need to pry it off with a butter knife which broke off one of the smaller clips on the headset itself. It didn’t effect the cushions at all because the one that fit, fit on both sides. I wish magnetic ear cushions were the standard as they are way easier to replace and take off. I might try getting a replacement first but If I have either of these issues then I’m never touching wicked cushions again.
hahah what a trash "gaming headset" so you pay 300 euros, ofc you will use them more than 3-8h, o wait you cant use them they are not comfortable, i test them, they are so cheap looking headset, with this kind of money you can buy very good headset, this is a big fail!
Hahaha hehehe Idiot. This is an extreme good Sounding Headset. Just use the EQ! I also have Beyerdynamic Headphones for Guitar Playing and Recording and i must say...sound on the Steelseries is nearly as good as the Beyerdynamics. And cheap looking? Go and buy some glasses or polish the if u wear some :P

It didn’t effect the cushions at all because the one that fit, fit on both sides. I wish magnetic ear cushions were the standard as they are way easier to replace and take off. I might try getting a replacement first but If I have either of these issues then I’m never touching wicked cushions again.
hahah what a trash "gaming headset" so you pay 300 euros, ofc you will use them more than 3-8h, o wait you cant use them they are not comfortable, i test them, they are so cheap looking headset, with this kind of money you can buy very good headset, this is a big fail!
Hahaha hehehe Idiot. This is an extreme good Sounding Headset. Just use the EQ! I also have Beyerdynamic Headphones for Guitar Playing and Recording and i must say...sound on the Steelseries is nearly as good as the Beyerdynamics. And cheap looking? Go and buy some glasses or polish the if u wear some :P
Thanks for the LOVE!
