I was disheartened when the stock pads on my Sony xm4 started to go flat. They flattened so much that my ears started to touch the headphone drivers. I contacted Sony who said they’d replace them under warranty but I’d have to send them off and it’s take up to 6week turn around. I googled replacement pads and found the wicked cushions website. They seemed decent enough and at only £20 I thought it was worth a try. OH MY GOSH ARE THEY AWESOME. They are thick and plush giving a good distance from my ears. But nice and soft to give a snug fit. They don’t affect the effectiveness of the noise cancelling. The headphones are perfect again. The design is awesome and a nice change from the stock black. They were really easy to fit when you follow the instruction video on YouTube. Takes 2mins at most. They have a bigger padding than the original Sony pads were when I first got them. Nice and comfortable. I can’t comment on how well they will fair over time but a week in, I’m mega impressed and very happy with my purchase. In fact I bought 3 pairs in case I need more in future as a backup (and I see Amazon stock of these going fast). Buy them if your default xm4 pads have gone flat. You won’t regret it.

I bought these to replace my original XM4 earpads, which were heavily worn. Replacing the pads is very simple; just make sure you have a prying tool or butter knife to unlatch the old pads and clip the new ones in place. Compared to my worn-out pads, these are very comfortable. I can wear them for longer periods of time without ear pain. They do not appear to interfere with the sensor within the headphones to detect if they are removed. These also appear to have extra thickness compared to the stock pads. This is beneficial for comfort and longevity, but I believe it has some consequences. In terms of sound and ANC, despite what other reviews have said, it is important to know that these will not inherently improve quality. The thickness of the pads does actually add a nice bit of sound separation compared to the stock pads. But initially, I found the sound to be veiled and muddy. Additionally, I noticed ANC initially to be worse, with increased noise from higher frequency, wind noise and a sea-shell effect. However, after about five days, these qualities have improved as I adapted to the change of the sound signature, the pads have conformed more to the shape of my ear, and they have slightly compressed. Ultimately, if your XM4 earpads have lost their bounce and are flaking, these are a good replacement. Their price is in line (if not a tiny bit more expensive) with alternative brands. Just understand that you need to wear them in for a couple of days and that they'll not magically improve the sound or ANC of your headphones.

Nothing wrong with the pads that came with my XM4’s but they did make my ears a bit hot. So, I looked at all the reviews and decided to try these replacement ear pads. I’m very happy with them: more comfortable and my ears don’t get as hot. No reduction in sound quality, noise cancelling, or operation of sensors. I have fairly large, odd shaped, ears from years of rugby abuse but these ear pads gave improved what was already a reasonably confortable headphone set. A bit of wind noise when I have on sunglasses but no worse, and possibly better than the originals. I like them and glad I bought them.

I haven't had my Sony wh1000xm4s very long but after long periods of wearing the headphones I was finding that the ear cups were becoming slightly uncomfortable. I began to do some research on potentially upgrading the ear cups and the same company kept popping up as a good upgrade, wicked cushions. I found these on amazon and decided to buy a pair. Here are my own personal thoughts so far. Changing the pads around was super simple. The pads come with clear instructions and a link to a video which shows you step by step how to remove the old pads. Once fitted I've listened to my headphones for at least 7hrs straight and as far haven suffered no ear fatigue. The quality of the pads are extremely comfortable. Now to how they sound. The old pads that come with the sony WH-1000XM4 are slightly shallower than the wicked pads so your ears are closer to the headphone drivers. This is obviously going to make the original pair sound slightly louder due to closeness. The wicked cushions have a deeper depth which means your ears are not as close to the drivers hence this makes them ever so slightly less louder, but this isn't a bad thing. Now the noise cancelling does seem slightly less powerful not sure why this is but it's just a point that I have found. But the overall musical sound is still top notch. Now one thing I shall be monitoring over time is the condensation build up within the actual driver casing. Those who know about the condensation build up after long periods of use understand that this can impact the headphone sound quality over time and that you have to clean the water droplets from inside the driver housing. My thoughts are that due to the wicked cushions being deeper that this may stop this issue from arising. But this will only be proven in time. But my overall impressions of these pads are excellent and well worth the upgrade 👍🏻

Very nice product. Comes with instructions in the bag. Good quality built. The synthetic material is a step down from the original sony supply vegan leather but it's not less comfortable on the ears and surprisingly feels less hot, which is a good thing. Their printed instructions and YouTube channel provide clear instructions which was nice. Easy peasy. The inner dimensions are slightly smaller than the original si if your ears were already tight you'll probably notice the small change, but they're thicker which is nice. CON: Subpar sound isolation compared to the original. Not sure whether due it's to the foam being more firm it's not sealing well or if sound is passing through the foam. If possible get original pads. The TLDR: Built Quality: 5/5 Comfort: 5/5 Sound isolation: 2/5 Ease of installation: 5/5

Thicker than the standard cups so hopefully the sensor will not dig into my ear during continued use. They were a little awkward to fit, not difficult, just fiddly. Other than the thickness they appear identical to the OEM ones so there is no compatibility issues. I haven;t noticed and change to the sound quality but I wasn't expecting to given the previous reviews.

The originals are more comfortable for me. I have normal size ear. The the WC-cusions are deeper but not as wide. If you have big ears don't buy the WC-Cusions. The WC-cusions are more firm and does not disappear on the head like the more soft original ones. The Original also sounds better. The wicked cushions is a little shouty in the highs and the bass sounds more closed. The original pads has more smooth highs and open bass. The wicked cusions is also not as well made as I thought. I can see that's they are hand made. The left and right is not identical. I also feel like it makes the ANC a little worse. It does not cancel the highs out as well as the originals. The Wicked cushions is not bad. They are decent. But could be better. If I could change anything about them. I would make them wider and softer. And I would try and make the earpads identical. Like if a machine made them. And maybe try to compare the sound signature to come closer to the original ones. The wicked cusions is not going on to my XM4's anymore. And I will try another brand next time. Little disappointed ...

عزل الصوت ماهو مثل الاصليه ، الاصليه احسن بس هذي تعطيك مساحه للاذن بحيث انها ما تلمس السماعه من داخل

Jakość wykonania całkiem dobra, montaż prosty ale NC nie jest tak dobry jak w oryginalnych. Mimo wszystko jest w porządku.

Fixed a Squealing issue in my XM4's. I had a high pitched noise coming out of my right speaker. Online forums said to replace the microphones, or headphone cups/cushions. So bought these. Easy to fit, 5 min job, corrected the issue with the headphones and they are like new now. Comfortable to wear and fixed the squealing. Very happy, would buy again.

Good quality, easy to install. A small downside is that they are quite warm for the ears

Einfache Demontage der alten Polster und genau so einfache Montage der Ersatzpolster. Tragkomfort sehr gut. Etwas schlechtere Schallisolation. Gutes Produkt.
