i own the freeze wicked version and just to clarify , it stays cool for about 7-10 mins , after that it absorbs the heat from your head/ears and it will be just like any other earpads ( they are very confy though) don't know why Techne never mentions this on his videos but i wanted to say this for future buyers.
Did people actually really think they are always cool?
@@BabysitterSky Well said.
@@BabysitterSky Some people probably did. I thought they would stay cool for at least 20-30 minutes like my Turtle Beach Stealth Gen 2 Max.
Hey, a tip to make it last longer as to store the headset in a cooler place (not near heat sources ) when not using. Should then last for way longer than several minutes.
The issue with cooling gel is that it absorbs heat from fans/sources around it, less from ears
@@joshuathefirst hes prob sponsored , they wont tell u all the bad lol
Picked up a pair of the cusions due to your vids. Fixed all the problems I had with the nova pros. THanks a bunch.
Installed the freeze variant a week ago, knob issue solved, ANC not effected, product seems of high quality and not rushed (we waited a fair time for it to come out!), installation is a breeze, now i started loving my set, money well spent. Always love watching you bro ✌🏻
man they have actually made me start using my nova pro wireless again.
ANC not affected? How much are you getting paid to say this? ANC is 100% gone, bass too is way decreased and highs are now sibilant.
Product is of high quality? So you have the same pressure on top and bottom, yeah you are lying.
@@vitorfernandes651 you caught me wicked cushions gave me 750,000$ for this comment, what a smart ass😂. The noise is still cancelled for me and this is my opinion maybe the shape of your head is oval or something idk but i would think twice before calling people liars next time 😉
@@vitorfernandes651 So you just automatically assume he’s being paid to say it? I’m also using the freeze pads on them and it doesn’t affect the sound. So am I being paid to say that? Dumbest thing you could’ve said
do you even get any noise cancelling with this headset? I dont notice much of a difference at all with ANC on... maybe 5% better
Didn’t want to wait a week for a freeze, bought the normal ones on Amazon.
SO MUCH BETTER! Ty RUclips for showing me this video
Watched this and had to order immediately. The pinna of my ears thank you!
I got some after ur recommendation last year. Amazing cushions and soo cool for hours on ur lug holes. Thanks for making my gaming more comfy man 👊 happy new year and keep up the excellent content
Hi, would I be able to use a USB switcher o similar product so that I could have even more things connected?
I don’t mean to use them all at once, but so I don’t have to disconnect the USB cable from the PS5 and connect the PC all the time.
Idk if you can help me out but I just got the steelseries 7p+ and when I play games with my friends they say they can hear my game through the mic and then I lower the volume I can’t hear as good is there anything I can do?
Literally just bought this headset yesterday and started looking on reddit immediately bc the uncomfortable ANC nub. Ordered the freeze black ones late last night and just got my tracking info this afternoon. Stoked to receive these. Really loving these other than the ear comfort. Won't have to wait too long : )
Same here man! Mine are expected to come in tomorrow and I can’t wait! I’m sure you’ll love it when yours come in
hey bro did they sound any different?
@The Techne hey man I’ve got a quick question for you. I’m reading it here since this is your most recent video with the wired Arctis nova pro. The clearcast AI noise cancellation. Everything I’m reading says you need to be connected to the software but with the game deck you can connect dwyer both to the Xbox and your PC so can you use that feature on Xbox or literally only on PC? Again, sorry for posting here it’s just your most recent video.
Which ones are more comfortable, freeze or non-freeze version?
Does it matter what side you put the ear pads on and is there a top or bottom to the pads?
Is it possible to make noise canceling ear pads. I bought this because of the noise canceling but my arctis pro was better than the arctis nova pro. I hate the input from the mice. turned off sidetone and turned on automatic noise canceling.
Got mines few day ago and didn’t notice any change on audio but did fix the NC thing on the middle of the headset
Nice! Thanks for the discount code.
i just got my Wicked Cushions today and I already love them they are so much more comfortable then my original cushions definitely get some
I bought this headset today and was seriously contemplating returning them because that knob gave me a headache in about 5 minutes.... Looked up fitment videos, and boom! you popped up. Used your code and should be receiving these on Friday! Life saver, and I hope I like the headset more after this neat upgrade!
EHHHHHHHHH
Are those artis headset your favorites for gaming I love WARZONE trying to upgrade
Hey Techne, which set of Wicked Cushions should I purchase for the Kraken V3's?
I'll definitely be buying a set soon.
I love the gel ones but how do you clean them mine only lasted 6month or so.
have you reviewed their new headband replacement for the nova pro wired/wireless? would love a review on them and see how they compared to the oem one
I’m so glad they’re finally getting noticed I’ve been using them for 5 years now. Sadly they don’t support the epos headset i got but man those wicket cushions rock.
yeah, but man my epos h6 pro have some dang good cushions already. But your right some freeze would be awesome!
I have the Nova Pro Wired and Wireless. I just ordered the Freeze for both and can’t wait to try them tomorrow upon arrival. Thank you for your videos as I wouldn’t have gotten them (the headphones or cushions) without your advice.
Can I ask how the sound is between the wired and wireless? I have the wired and am on the fence on getting the wireless
@@chrisnewton2325 I think I covered that question in this vid ruclips.net/video/4aklD5eZpYo/видео.html
@@TheTechne you sure did answer it, I'll stick with the wired nova's thanks
@@TheTechne I was sure that you did, but I couldn’t find it which is why I posted the link to another video that I saw a few days ago.
Mine always cuts out and my teammates can’t hear me cause my voice is cutting in and out and buzzing. I’m not using the Bluetooth function I’m using the 2.4g. Is it a faulty headset or what?
thnx for the tip without the wicked cushions i would have likely returned the headset ;) but now im happy with em
Does this video also apply to the Nova 7x as well? I hate the way that the stock cushions on my Nova 7x feel when I put them on.
yeah, I also just covered them
@@TheTechne I must have missed that one. I'll check it out.
Hey does anyone know if wicked cushions make earpads for the turtle beach 700 gen2 max? They don't list them anywhere for fitment. Only the turtle beach 700 gen1. Thanks in advance!
How do they fit with the ps vr2? Thanks!
Mine just came in today great timing I preordered the black ones.
Does this work with the nova pro wired?
Seems like the sound quality gets worse with wicked cushion. I had them for my logitech g pro and now I got the wired nova pro the stock just feels better
Does it affect the warranty of the headphones to replace the pads?
I have a question,
are the "earholes" from the wicket cushions larger? Because my problem is with the default ones.. those are way to small.
Yes, for the nova pro wireless cushions we made - much larger
@@WickedCushions Hm what now, the support actually told me , that they are much narrower.... so narrower or larger?....
Mine has just arrived, im completely mindblown to the quality! They are so damn stinkin cozy! Also so fresh, didnt notice a lot of sound quality difference, just need to raise the volume a bit more since im slightly further from the drivers but i love them!
Which ones did you get im thinking going with the wc upgraded ones
@@RelMexLive the freeze cooling black ones
Sorry to hijack with unrelated question but I couldn't find anyone addressing the most obvious question on these.. Do the wireless version has any perciptible AV lag ?? I'm very sensible to these annoying lag but love to skip the wiring for once... Any clue ?
Ordered a set of white gel cushions for my Arctis 7+ im hoping they actually feel cooler when im doing Apex sweats lol. Used your code on Amazon, love your content brother keep on bringing it!
lol
There’s a popping/bass rattling sound coming from my Nova Pro’s and it’s driving me crazy! I literally got them yesterday and I’ve tried everything but no one seems to have an answer. Someone please help 😭
@The Techne are you gonna review the audeze maxwell soon?
Yes
my wicked cusions (got both kinds) came 2 days ago and my headset (nova pro wireless) came yesterday. I must be one of the lucky ones cuz i had it on for 8 hours and was never bothered by the anc nub with the regular cushions. I know you like to use the doc over the sonar software, but I personally love the sonar software! Its got that spatial audio adjuster. Soon I'm gonna experiment with the cushions and the spatial audio to see what that does. Also, I really love your videos! Glad i stumbled upon your page when i was researching for a new headset. Keep up the great work!
thank you so much for the support !
Hey Techne, I just got wicked cushions for my Virtuoso XT and wanted to know if you changed your EQ after installing them. It def made audio louder to a fault, maybe im missing a setting but voice chat in fortnite was insanely loud lol. Otherwise the cushions are great.
hmmm, on pc? check out my eq video and give that a dabble
@@TheTechne will do, thanks for the tip.
I own the freeze in camo red. It Looks pretty nice and cool! And for my head, the headset feels better without pressure. With the Originals i had a little bit of pressure. I love the cussions!
Tech is right! I bought this headset wireless and returned them after week of gaming because of comfort. I did not wait for Wicked Cushions which I regret I did not wait 😢
Can it be used to coonect with Switch?
Hey techne, love your vids. I've got the nova 7's and am considering getting some cooling gel wicked cushions. Would they help with clamp force? My only negative is that they feel a little loose on my head. Thanks :)
Are they compatible with the nova 7?
I just covered them actually. But SS is known for a bit less clamping force. A tip (be carful) twist them in ward and they will tighten up a pinch. Maybe I'll make a video on this ;)
@@TheTechne that would be awesome! Thank you
Hi fellows. I'm trying to buy a couple of cushions but unfortunately the website don't ship to Brazil. Is there other options to buy from Brazil like ebay or other plataform/method?
I would love to see an cooler master sk620 review, i just got it mostly to try out 60%, ttc switches and low profile caps
Do the nova pros wicked cushion also fit the nova 7s?
At first your videos were honest. We knew you are going to say bad to bad good to good. But now its all same.. promoting wicked cushions and every headset is your favourite.. pls return to your old self
Hi
What do you think about Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2 to games?
I bought them, the freeze one, and I absolutely love them. I rediscovered my headset. the stock one are really annoying. It was a good headset. It became a GREAT headset.
do they make it heavier i
Techne has been working with headsets and WC’s so long that he just rips the stock ear pads off like nothing! 😂
Love your vids Techne, found you earlier this year and been subbed and watching ever since. (Early) Happy New Year to you sir
ehhhh thank you so much for the support man! I also never script or plan my vids, I just go with it, lol one day I'm gonna rip or break a product, lol
im curious how you might compare the LS35x and 50x earcups to wicked. i find the LS flagship earcups to be very thick, comfortable, and cooling. But its not like they sell them so i can use them on other headphones. WIcked is a great buy, im using on the steelseries.
this change the sound?
I can't get the gel ones in ireland it seems ,they won't ship from amazon UK or Germany to ireland presumably because of liquid flight restrictions.
I mean to be honest I feel like I can't wear the default cushions too long on the steelseries so that's why I think I might go with the wicked cushions but I just don't know which ones yet to buy only because I don't know if I should go with the gel version or the other one because the gel version I had once before on a turtle beaches 700 Gen 2 and I thought they really sucked unless they're a completely different gel cushion on the Turtle Beach headset I didn't like
Hey Techne,. You ever see these pads get warped? I got some used ones from Amazon (90's black) and they had a funky ridge on the top end. I only found one review video with a guy saying it's from pushing them on the headset wrong.
just got my WC for my Nova 7X. Can confirm 10x better.
I own the steelseries arctis 7P. Also have the original arctis Pro wired with Game Dac. And have myself a beautiful pair of the steelseries arctis Nova Pro wired with Game Dac. Techne, you sold me on the wicked cushions, about three years ago. And have them on every steelseries headset that I have. The new additions for the artist Nova Pro wired with Game Dac.
First thing I noticed. Was how cool they were. Meaning temperature and how it looks. First impressions wearing them. Sound-wise, was how prominent the sound was. First thing that came to me was how the bass was deeper, cleaner and the soundstage just stuck out much more than the default pads. I tried many third-party ear cushions. They don't come close to wicked cushions. These also are the coolest/temperature ear cushions I've ever owned. The liquid cooling gel definitely are one of the best features on these ear cushions.
I just bought the red camo freeze cushion excited!
They suck, huh
Can you please do a review on the audeze Maxwell Wireless Gaming Headset.
These are definitely a game changer , I got the freeze ones and it is necessary for any headset i get in the future now!!
Exaggeration. My Astro a50 has never been hot in my ears. Never felt it needed any upgrade. Always comfortable for several hours.
I’m actually thinking returning these and keep my old astro 3rd generation. Not to mention it had optical to connect to my tv.
Is there a fix for the sidetone?
Bought the Nova Pro headset and had it for about 2 days. Hated them. Ended up returning them and buying the beyerdynamic dt990 pro, schiit Magni 3+ and Modi 3E, and a hyperX quadcast. Granted I spent much more going this route but I am very satisfied. That said I CAN NOT WAIT for Wicked to release their gel cushions for the dt990 pro.
yeah I love my ifi zen stack, and my meze 109 pro's oh man what a dream combo. but a convenient wireless gaming headset is always a must have
the settings u make on pc for the arctis nova 7 for sound do they transfer over to console?
Yes but not Sonar settings.
I don't use headphones for hours, especially since the gel lasts literally 10 minutes. Will the regular version of Wicked Caushions without the cooling gel be enough for me to fully solve the problem of the protruding part?. Is only the version with the walking gel thick enough so that there is no problem with the protruding part?.Because in the material it says that those without gel are only a little thicker than factory ones and only those with gel need more strength to arrange on the head.
I have both sets and you can't feel the ANC nub against your ears with either.
Will it make them tighter??
man idk, a pair of wicked cushions is 32$ without a promo code and i can get a really great pair for 8$ of same quality from aliexpress for pretty much most headset models there are. im sure they are great, but are they 32$ *for ear cushions* great? also for me personally too thick earpads 100% affect the volume and 7.1 surround imaging which is also a big no for me.
thanks a lot i have buy Wicked Cushions for nova pro wireless because of u and such a great upgrade ;-) i use my xbox nova pro wireless half for gamming time and almost all day long 7hours for work so it a great upgrade to keep it all day long at my job :)
Does theese fit to arctis nova pro wired? Thanks bro!!
From personal use the freeze are cool when first using them then they obviously absorb body temp. They're way less "spicy" compared to the stock pads over long sessions and I hardly find myself adjusting or repositioning like the stock pads. If you have this headset these cushions are a must.
Could this fit wired?
I’m coming from a Razer kraken headset and when I use the artist nova sevens they were a little bit tight behind my ear because of my glasses do the wicked cushions change that? Or work would the tightness go away after I break them in? I just found that the Razer kraken’s were a lot more comfortable in my opinion but if I just need to break them in that I’m willing to keep using the nova sevens.
I always wear glasses and they work great for me (oakley frames with straight arm)
@@TheTechne ty! I guess I just gotta break them in. Keep up the amazing content 💪💪
I’m about to get those Nova Pro wired + freeze wicked version after looking carefully on what to buy. I had the Pro version back in the days, switched for Corsair RGB or wtv it’s called, dumbest thing Ive ever done, those things were so annoying on comfort, sounds was fine Ig tho. Pretty excited to go back with steelseries, I loved em, taking stinky cozy pads in case I feel that noise cancellation
The wired pros actually don't have an anc knob but I still think these cushions are a huge upgrade over the stock ones. Especially the freeze cushions...so freaking comfortable! I wear my headset practically all day and these made a huge difference
Hey love the videos, I have a set of steel series arctic 7x with wicked cushions they are so comfortable! My only issue is I can’t seem to find the right eq settings to pair with Dolby on my series x. I play fps games mostly warzone. Any info would be great thanks
Did you ever figure anything out?? I just bought a pair.
Are all models the same size?
Hey Techne, great timing. I got the Nova Pros a few months ago and i was feeling a bit underwhelmed because they were warmer and the nub was a bit of a discomfort. Didnt bother me enough to do something about it, but your video led me to buy these and try them out. Thanks!😄
your gonna love them man, no fluff.
@@TheTechne just got them today. So far so good!
@@potatoe260 So do you recommend it after five months or do you think there is no difference?
Been using thr wireless pros for about 4 years and just picked up the nova wireless yesterday. Was on the fence about getting the freeze or just the regular upgrades (due to some reviews saying the freeze impacts sound way more). But pulling the trigger on the freeze for the added comfort and after seeing you saying it hardly impacts the audio quality. Of course some EQ adjustments might have to be made but excited to pair the two together.
I just got the headset aswel and just orderd the pads aswel since i use them for my call center job 8 hours a day!
@@bestgameplay831 same, I need it for that aswel. Did it help ?
@@wessafy5992 yes it helped a lot make sure to not order the wrong ones tho (artic nova vs nova pro)
The comfort is a lot better with these pads
I am looking to get a steelseries headset, either the arctis pro or arctis 7+, but I don't know if it's better than Razer kraken tournament edition, I heard alot of bad stuff about steelseries so I don't know if I should get it, my budget i 150 so if theres something better please leave a comment im using PC only
You're officially costing me too much money... lol I got the nova pros bc of you and now I have to get the wicked gel cool ear cups. Appreciate the videos. 👍👍
10000000% agree…I purchased mine and all my complaints are gone with this headset. Nice and cozy indeed!!
"stinkin cozy" ;)
@@TheTechne I didn’t want to say it haha…it’s your line!
@@DirksDiggler free to use. use it next time you go buy shoes or something. Ask the sales rep if they are "stinkin cozy" lol
@@TheTechne lol will do!
Yoo @techne can you tell wicked cushions to make some cushions for H6pro. I need some wicked cushions in my life to be stinkin cozy🙏
compatibility with SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro ?
Who' else is excited for the Audeze Maxwell review?
Does the nosie can... Getting better with the biggest gel???
I’ve got the same red camo wicked cushions on my HyperX Cloud Alphas and they were 100% worth it
yo thats a sweet combo on the alphas/clouds (red/black)
Techne! Wired headsets are my thing. I use a DAC with mine. Can you throw me a couple you recommend for fps gaming? Hearing the footsteps clearly/easy is a big must have!
As a proud owner of the steel series arctic pro wireless the only reason to buy this headset is the swappable batteries!
It's great right, just got mine yesterday. How are yours holding up, especially in the ear pad department?
Are u thrilled for the Audeze Maxwell?
Hope to find a review on your channel soon bc I only wanna buy it when it gets the pass from you
;)
Just ordered the actual headset and was doing my due diligence to research improvements. Saw your video and was immediately swayed, so I just ordered them.
Here's the reason for my comment - With the mouse cursor on the way to payment, I thought "Heynow, that guy you just found on RUclips that gave you the insight had an affiliate link, so I should go use it to help him out in the only way that actually has any impact on your life. Little did I know that the code next to that link gave me a discount. Doing the right thing to help you, got me a discount I didn't even know I was getting.
Thanks, bro. Thanks.
I feel like the ideal option would be the higher density foam, but no additional thickness. The WC pads just make the headset look a little ridiculous, It's SO thick as to be silly. But if the pads didn't compress as much, that might still relive the ANC bump issue. Also, why doesn't WC make a version with the cloth on the inside too? I don't love the feel of pleather on my ears, so having it all cloth where it can touch the skin would be awesome, with the pleather only on the outside to help with noise isolation. Though honestly, I'm pretty partial to the fully cloth earpads that Logitech makes... I'm just not sure how much those would spoil the ANC.
I never had issues with the stock pads and anc thing, but still immediately bought the wicked cushions
Best move I've ever made by buying these cushion
Ayy there we go!
If you got any questions, ask away!
is your headset "stinkin cozy" ?
@@TheTechne How can it not be
My main issue with the Nova Pro is they're too small, I don't have a big head but it feels like the bottom of the ear cups are angling out because the headset is too tight. I can't see to get it to sit properly where the earpads just flush against my head. I've changed to the new earpads as well, which helped, but didn't fix
It hurts my ears I'm thinking about changing the ear cups.
Should I buy these for my son for Christmas or should I what should I get to turtle beaches
I wear glasses and these hurt my head. I use the wicked cushions too. Clamps my head. Very uncomfortable after a few mins..
I just got my wc freeze - Speed racer and may I say: definitely an upgrade.
I have to admit, I got the Steelseries Nova Pro wireless X after watching hours of headset reviews.
Seeing as how I wanted 1 wireless headset for both my ps5, Xbox series X and PC.
And finally made up my mind much thanks to your reviews. But I knew the anc nub would bother my big ears.
And voila, enter the solution: these cushions pretty much eliminate the issue and af actually far more comfortable.
The only notes I have are:
Pressure towards the top, because they're much thicker it seems there's not enough space but it's doable. Definitely better than the anc nub!
Installation is a bit tricky so be careful not to damage your headset or the cushions.
Note: about the top pressure, it's actually comfortable, I've used them for hours straight. But when I put them on it just feels as if the bottom part is disconnecting/separating from my head slightly.
@@LurahVsOrdask the pleather versions seem slightly thinner...leading me to believe that problem would be lessened?
I cant stress enough how important to replace orijinal pads with these. Orijinal ones have faux leather which makes your ears wet and they re so uncomfortable you cant wear them more than a hour. And because of their thickness, your ears always get crushed under the ANC device. Wicked ones not only more comfortable because of their cloth texture, but also they re more thick which block ANC to touch your ear. A must buy.
