WC Wicked Cushions PadZ - Thick & Soft Ear Pads for ATH M50X / M40X / SteelSeries Arctis/HyperX Cloud & Alpha/Logitech G Pro X/Compatible with Over 50 Headphones | Black

Got these for my cloud alpha hetset. Fitting them on can be a bit of a pain but once you get used to how to stretch the thin layer it DOES get easier. I'm on my second set now after wearing out the first one.My only quibble is the surface layer ~could~ be a bit thicker for slightly longer life but I suppose this might impact comfort levels, dunno it just seems super thin. I'm super gentle on mine so I'd imagine folks who aren't as careful with their gear might get rips and tears easily.The pads are thicker than OEM and that's why I got these because the headset was rubbing the outside of my ear. And you'd be surprised how painful just having that press lightly on your ear can become. These pads clear it ~just~ enough to remedy this.....and as I identify as a camosexual, I DO wish they had more camo choices :P But hey, sexy red camo!!!The pads are nice and dense and wear very well, it took several years for me to wear out the first set. They don't interrupt the sound in any way I can tell and they don't get sore after long....LONG hours of wearing the headset (talking like 12+hrs here).My second set came in and one pad was slightly thinner so allowing the headset to rub my ear. Got in touch with them via facebook and they asked for a pic and a copy of the receipt. They agreed that one was thinner and promptly sent out a full replacement set.....I'd have been happy with just the one replacement but these amazing bastards just sent out a new pair. Not sure what's up with this one that is thinner, I figure it was probably a mixup in packaging or something but hey, they took care of me promptly so they have a happy customer who'll order from them again.I highly recommend both this company and product. If you want a ear pad that is ever so slightly firmer so it holds it's form better, and wears well and is backed by great customer service then you can't beat this one!

Before I talk about the earcups I need to talk about Amazon shipping. They didn't use a box or envelope, just put the mailing label on the package. Normally I approve of creating less waste, but in this case the package is a Ziploc bag. Super easy to open. It's kind of amazing I actually got the earcups.Now the review: I am a fan. I use ATH M50x for online meetings, and since I WFH I am often wearing my headphones 4-6 hours a day. The earcups on the headphones were too small for my ears (I am a 5'8" woman and don't have particularly large ears), and were very painful if I wore any sort of ear jewelry no matter how small.The Wicked cushions are bigger both overall and the hole for the ear. The memory foam is very comfortable and easy to wear for long periods. Sweat doesn't seem to build up. They were easy to put on. The white isn't a perfect match for the headphones but close enough.

Like many, the ear cups on my AudioTechnica headphones were shredding. I bought these, and they are definitely better than the originals. They feel cushier, and the openings fit my big ears better, so they isolate sound better. And, the sound is great!

These were comfortable, and are nice and thick. I was hoping they would last longer but I think that’s an individual thing. I just use them for conference calls on my HyperX Alpha S headset. They fit very well on these but were somewhat a struggle to get on.I bought these about 4-1/2 years ago and used them every couple of days for a couple hours a day. My ears needed a deeper pad so the outer point of my ear cartilage didn’t touch the headphones and these worked well compared to stock. After a bout 2 years the faux leather started flaking. It was minor and I was just too lazy to replace them. 2 years foruthsr down the road I was getting larger pieces flaking off.I know they can’t last forever so they’re pretty good.I bought a replacement for a cheaper brand that doesn’t have the faux leather so I’ll see how those do.

I love my old headphones and was so glad that such a high quality replacement for the pads was available. It shipped quickly and after a little stretching they slipped on in seconds. I hope I'll be buying these again in 5 years when these wear out too.
