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.

I purchased these after watching a YouTuber who uses them and wanted to give them a try since the reason I stopped using my Astros was because my ears were getting so hot and it became uncomfortable. These are a complete game changer. I swapped both my Astro's and my SteelSeries headsets to these they make the headsets so much more comfortable and the cooling gel is so much better than the hot ear cups most headsets come with. I have recommended these to all my friends and they have also bought them to make their headsets much more comfortable. These are worth the money and they will last a long time the quality on these is phenomenal and they are super thick ear cups. These even make the noise isolation better than th originals. I highly recommend these to everyone in the gaming community and even for high quality headphones from Sony and Apple.

Bought these over a year ago to replace the Gen 5 stocks. Have not swapped them out since. I like running a damp microfiber towel over them with the slightest bit of soap and letting them dry over night. My main issue with the stocks was the zero noise cancellation. These add some of it by design and do not ruin the sound. Just keep in mind that you will have to mess with the G Hub app to complement the sound profile with the earpads. I would suggest GadgetryTech on YouTube for this!

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.

Comfortable, fit nice, and cooling (for first hour). These ear cups worked perfectly for my Astro a50 gen 4s and now 50x. They feel nice on my head and do provide a cool feeling at first. After about an hour they feel like any other ear cup, it’s not noticeable to me as some other viewers have pointed out. Also those these are really considered “noise cancelling”, with no sound you can hear around you. Once you start listening to music or playing your game you can hear much of anything around you which provides a great immersive experience. I’m not an audiophile but definitely think these improved my experience in hearing/listening to subtle noises in game

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.
