Arctis Nova 7 Ear Cushions - WC Freeze Cooling Gel (Fits Other Nova's), Hex Red

A recommended upgrade for the Nova Pro, as the stock earpads can get uncomfortable and hot after a few hours. The part that makes contact with skin is similar to the sportweave fabric so no lagkit, while the outer surface is leather, retaining that premium look. They take a different approach to the assembly, which practically eliminates the reason why the stitching on the stock ones rip apart after some time (around 2.5 years on my old Arctis 3). I don't know about the cooling gel though, you can definitely feel it when putting it on, but it seems to equalize with your body temp after a while anyway. Overall a great item, the reviews on YouTube aren't just hype, Wicked Cushions is the real deal.

I love my new Wicked Cushions!The replacement cushions made my 2 year old headset fit and sound better literally in 3 minutes! I had no idea how bad my original cushions were until after I installed the new ones. The difference is night and day. I highly recommend them. I struggled a bit with the first one but the second one was a breeze. Very good bang for the buck.

These were super easy to swap onto my Arctis Nova 7P headset. The only part of the Nova 7P that I didn't like were the stock ear pads compared to my older Arctis 7 set. These fixed that. They're very cushioned and the material is soft and less scratchy than the stock ear pads. I haven't really noticed the cooling properties much, but then I didn't have much of an issue as far as heat/sweat with the stock ear pads either.I can also say that these are very comfortable for nearly all day use. I use my Nova 7P headset for work, so I wear them for extended periods of time throughout the work day. These were well worth the purchase.

The comfort is amazing over the stock Nova 7 earpads and it really does a fantastic job of passive noise blocking. Thank goodness the Nova 7 supports simultaneous connections or I would never hear my phone. They are thicker and much more comfortable on the side of your head. But I do wish the inner ear diameter was larger. I have to really wiggle and adjust the earpads to get my ears in there to avoid the pads pressing down on my ears. And it does take some time before I get settled and forget about the headset being on my head. But once I do, it's very comfortable.

They’re super comfortable and cute! I can definitely feel the cooling effect, but it’s mostly just when you first put them on. The cold-feel doesn’t last for a long time. Not that I want it to, if they stayed cold the entire time I wore them it might be a bit uncomfortable. Some fabric ear cushions make a rustling sound when you move your head(the cushions that came with my headset do this, which is why I bought these new ones), but these don’t! The outsides are a smooth faux-leather, which is great for keeping sound in, and the part that actually rests on your head are soft fabric sports-material. I’m very glad I bought these! I love them!

I bought the Nova 3 headset because my favorite headset of 12 years had a mic die on it. I went to the store to get another Logitech G633 but they didn't have one. I decided to try SteelSeries Nova 3 and it was not good. Too much clamping force and the ear pads were too thin and not comfortable. I found out about Wicked Cushions from youtube and decided to try and if it didn't work then I would just throw away the Nova 3 and wait till I can get another 633. Well, after a few days my order arrived and I put them on and the Headband that I ordered too. Immediately I felt the difference. I can wear these all day. Relieved the pressure of the clamp force, they don't bother my ears and they are cooler. This is a win. Worth it, totally worth it.

Overall, decent cushions, but not sure I see the value. Cooling gel is a bit gimmicky, which I suspected before ordering. When you first put the headphones on, you can certainly feel the cooling effect, but it’s only a matter of time before your head heats up the cushions, which for me, was within 10-15 minutes, at which point they feel no different than the original cushions that came with the headset, which brings me to my next point…these vs. the originals. Are WC’s more comfortable? That’s debatable. WC’s are composed of gel, and the originals are memory foam. Both super comfortable IMHO. I will give it to the WC’s since they are a bit thicker and bit deeper, and I do mean a BIT. It’s almost negligible, but I did notice that my ears would graze the inside just ... MoreOverall, decent cushions, but not sure I see the value.

It’s almost negligible, but I did notice that my ears would graze the inside just the slightest with the originals, and when I switched to WC’s, this doesn’t happen any more. The audio quality is better with the WC’s due to the fact that they lock in the sound better. This is because of the PU leather on the inside side, and outside side. The flat portion that makes contact with your head is made of breathable mesh material, incidentally, the same exact material the original cushions are made from. I could have accomplished this same thing though, by purchased the PU leatherette ear cushions directly from SS, but opted for these due to the cooling gel, which turned out to be gimmicky anyway. So the question is, would I recommend these. Well, put it this way, I wouldn’t say to stay away from them or anything. If you have $30 or $40 to spend, and want a nice set of cushions backed by a company with stellar customer service…pull the trigger.
