I bought these as a replacement for the stock ear cushions, and they've been a worthwhile upgrade. The cooling gel gives them an instantly cool feeling when you put your headset on, which is especially noticeable compared to standard ear pads. One of the biggest reasons I like them is that I sweat quite a bit during long gaming sessions, and these don't seem to trap heat nearly as much as regular cushions. They stay more comfortable over time and help keep my ears from getting as warm. Installation was straightforward, and they've held up well with regular use. If you're someone who games for hours at a time or tends to run hot, I'd definitely recommend giving these a try. Pros: Instantly cool to the touch More comfortable during long sessions Great for people who sweat Easy to install Cons: The cooling sensation is strongest when you first put them on and naturally becomes less noticeable as they warm to your body temperature.

These A50 earphone replacements are a game-changer. They’re much more comfortable than the originals, making long gaming sessions way easier on the ears. Cleaning them is a breeze, and they feel soft yet durable, giving my headset a fresh, almost-new vibe. Installation was simple, and they fit perfectly without any weird gaps or looseness. If you spend hours gaming or just want a more comfortable experience, these replacements make a noticeable difference. 💡 Tip: Swap them out before your originals get too worn. They make your headset feel brand new. Verdict: Comfortable, easy to maintain, and a simple upgrade that makes a big difference.

They feel better than stock, not perfect but pretty good. The material is better than the StealthZ but sound is a little worse. Overall I use these ear pads the most but like how easy they are to swap.

Got this for the new Astro A50 Gen 5 headset. Reviews for the headset said aftermarket earcups were better as they are typically deeper (to prevent your ears from hitting the drivers) and for sound isolation and cooling. After a couple of long gaming sessions, I definitely agree these earcups are much better than the OEM style. Better sound isolation to focus on gaming, the fit is great and my ears fit nicely inside without hitting the drivers, making it comfortable over time. It feels like much higher quality than the OEM style as well. I think this is a great value.

Overview I recently purchased a brand new headset, the Astro a50X, which was quite expensive. I was initially torn between this model and the SteelSeries Nova Pro Wireless, but the Astro a50X won me over due to its great mic, which helps eliminate clutter on my desk. However, I quickly discovered that the stock headphone covers were uncomfortable to the point where I almost considered returning the headset. The Problem The stock headphone covers on the Astro a50X were not up to par. They caused significant discomfort, which was disappointing given the high price of the headset. This discomfort almost led me to return the headset, despite its other excellent features. The Solution Fortunately, I remembered that nearly every reviewer mentioned Wicked Cushions as a great alternative. I decided to give them a try and ordered a set from Amazon a few days ago. The results were nothing short of impressive. Performance and Comfort The Wicked Cushions headphone replacements have made a world of difference. The improvement in both sound quality and comfort is like night and day. These cushions should honestly come standard with every Astro a50X purchase. The enhanced comfort has made long listening sessions much more enjoyable, and the sound quality has noticeably improved. Suggestions for Improvement While I am thoroughly impressed with the current product, I believe there is room for expansion. It would be fantastic to see more color options, especially in the SteelSeries color variants, to offer even more customization for users. Conclusion In summary, the Wicked Cushions headphone replacements are a must-have for Astro a50X owners. They offer a significant upgrade in comfort and sound quality for a very reasonable investment. If you own an Astro a50X or are considering purchasing one, I highly recommend getting a pair of Wicked Cushions to enhance your experience.

I’ll start by saying I literally just got my A50’s gen 4 for Xbox not even a week ago. Had 2 pairs of A40’s since the Xbox one, so I’m a big fan of them, came from turtle beach before. The factory ear cups are great, they don’t get hot necessarily, just kinda stay warm, but you never sweat wearing them. I like the fact that these have the leather outer and inner, less chance of it the fibers getting frayed over time like the stock. I bought them with the intent to try out the cooling factor of course but mainly to keep my stock ones in mint condition as a back up. First thing I noticed is they are definitely heavier than the others, i personally enjoy that, makes for a tighter fit, and the best part I’d say is it makes it almost twice as noise canceling for outside sounds. Now the sound is the main part of course, it does change it definitely. I’ve seen people say they don’t like it because it sounds muffled, the thing is, it creates a much better seal between the cup and your head, therefore; less sound dispersion, which causes a tremendous increase of bass. I’ve not been too pleased with the sound depth of the A50’s after coming from the A40’s with optical, but through a lot of tweaking the EQ on not only the Astro command center, but the Dolby access app as well, since it comes with Dolby Atmos, you can get is sounding very good for a wireless headset. Again I’m a fan of the bass so it sounds great to me, if it sounds muffled you may need to turn your bass down. I still use the optical cable with my base although I didn’t see a world of difference when I plugged it in like I did for the A40 mixamp. For anyone willing to go down this path, GadgetryTech has a perfect walkthrough of the EQ profiles for this specific earcup on YouTube, even used his code. The cooling factor is noticeable but not after too long I’d say, just take em off for a bit to charge and they will be cool again however. Overall, they do exactly what I bought them for so I can put 5 stars happily, we’ll see after the first week or so of use.

The only problem is they are a little too big to allow for the use of the charging station. You have to take one of the ear pads off to get the ear pads close enough together so the contacts for charging line up with the headset contacts. At first this bothered me a lot. But it’s actually very quick and easy to remove one of the ear pads and replace it after charging. Very comfortable ear cups. But you cannot use the charging station while both ear cups are on your headset.

I liked the design on the ear pads, made my headset look pretty nice. BUT the gel cooling pads feel semi cold for about a minute then warms up and builds humidity in the ear muffs. Eventually these began to hurt my ears during just 1 gaming session and I had to remove them. I had these on my Astro A50s. Also without touching any equalizer settings, these gave my headsets an insane amount of bass. I even turned the bass down in my equalizer settings and it still was way too much. I also loaded custom sound profiles hoping it would reduce the bass to a somewhat tolerable level, but nothing ever worked. I took these off my headsets and I’m using the original ear pads that came with my A50s. In my opinion, the original A50 pads sounds better and feel better. But if you don’t my most musty ears and bass that rattles your ear wax loose, by so means, try them.
