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!

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.

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 ;)

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

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.

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.

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 :)

you are the best!! your guide on how to put them on was the easiest of all!!

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!

Thank you sir. Worked perfectly and smoothly

​@@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?

I watched a few of your videos and I really like how you explain things and, get more in depth than other youtubers.

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.

thanks for recommending. Have you cleaned the gel cushions yet? If so, how do you clean them without damaging them?

thanks for the review, i went on to just order a pair to see how they are. hope it as good as it looks

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 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

I upgraded my arctics pro wireless to the cooling gel wicked cushions back in July based off seeing you advertise them. Love them.

@@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!

Excellent guide. Thanks boss.

I bought the standard Wicked Cushions and I'm super disappointed. Immediately upon opening the bag I could see a problem. The ear opening on the Wicked Cushions is so much smaller than on the stock SteelSeries ones. Sure, the WC ear pads is larger in total size, but the ear opening is narrower. Just looking at them side-by-side, the difference is obvious. People must have such tiny ears to be able to use the WC ones. The SS ones have a wider, more rectangular ear opening that makes it much more accommodating for the ears. I'll probably be returning these... So disappointed.

Always clutch dude. The spin for the win!

Definitely will help the headset become more comfortable and looking stinking good!

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!

do you prefer the pleather ones or the soft ones

I was struggling for like an hour to put the new cushions on , thank you for the spin technique

I just got the Arctic Pros yesterday. I may purchase some soon.

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?

thanks for this rotation tip. was having a hard time installing my new ear cushions lol.

My glasses are really digging in on the left ear with the standard arctis pro cushions. What would help me?

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?

Genius!! thank you so much!

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

Can this old SteelSeries Arctis Ear Cushions fit the new nova headsets?

Which ones would you recommend to use with glasses on?

Just received mine and put them on and oh maaaaaaaaan sucha huge difference with my arctis 5!

What is the best arctis headset ? Im confused to buy steelseries or cordair virtuoso. Which one should i buy ?

Going to buy some today!

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

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 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.

Will these work on the new nova arctic pro wireless headset

Could you try to fit them in the razer barracuda x? That is the only thing holding me back to buy them

What arctis headsets would you recommend if I currently use xbox but usable on pc since I'm getting one in the near future 😄

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+

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

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

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.

Hi @Techne does arctis earcups fit the Razer Barracuda? It's so hard to get replacement for Razer here in my country. Thank you

Best man about tech stuff

is this actually useful and any good, i mean comfort wise only, is this sweating less and is it more breathable than a default ones???? can anyone type their experiences who used these. ty

This is completely true the cooling gel really does work

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

can theses cushion be washed and used again?

I got one of these. Wicked cushion earpad. Btw how to clean this?

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.

Do the wicked coushins fit the new nova pro wireless as I have one ordered.

Can someone help me get the differences between the 3 options, in terms of sound, comfort, and sound leak

Thank you!
