WC Freeze A50 - Cooling Gel Earpads for Astro A50 Gen 4, Gen 5 & A50X

Fantastic item, miles better than the stock ones.I often found I could only wear the stock ones for a very limited amount of time before my ears became roasting. These get rid of the issue with ease and the cooling effect really works without impacting the sound quality or function of my headset.Installation was simple, just pop the old ones off and attach the new ones via the magnets. Really nice design and worth every penny. I just went with the basic/plain design but some of the others on offer look great.

The best things I’ve brought for my headset. Super easy to install with the magnets on it for a quick and easy click on. Can feel the heat difference from the standard ones that come with the headset. They fit perfectly for me and works great. 100% worth the money and would buy them again if I ever needed too. Comes with plenty of other colours too for everyone’s different preferences.

Very good quality, better than the ones that came with the headset originally, even give you a nice 15% discount for ur next order in the bag to use next time. Thanks alot.

They are comfortable, I prefer the material used on these compared to the stock ones they do feel more premium. They provide some noise cancellation which is a nice touch as the stock ones bleed noise and when in calls I found the stock ones my mic would echo to others, however with these ones the noise cancellation prevents the noise leaking hence no echo.The cooling effect doesn’t last long in my opinion I felt it for like 10 minutes then temperature felt like it used to with the stock pads.However, my only nag about this is that the audio changed when I put these on. Before when listening to music vocals would seem clear, but with these I found it that vocals were less clear and slightly muffled. And also the bass increased with these, so thats a plus. Overall, I would recommend if you’re constantly in calls with people as these prevent audio leaking from the A50.

They fit the Astro a50 headphones perfectly and are comfortable to wear. I got the ones with the grey camo design which looks pretty cool. Quality bit of gear.

I'm not a big fan of fabricy ear pads, so was looking for some replacement pads for my A50 X, and these have really made a big improvement to comfort. They do affect how the headset sounds, but with some EQ tweaks it's very easy to get great sound.I really like how official feeling these are. The magnetic mounting system for the A50 X is really nice, and Wicked Cushions have done a great job of getting the fit of the earpads to the headset perfect.One minor gripe is that they are either thicker, or denser than the stock pads - fine for comfort, but I do find it slightly more difficult to get the headset into the dock, but it's honestly fine.Would definitely buy again if my current ones wear out in the future!

I can't exactly say this is a bad product, but its not exactly mind blowing or anything considering the high price.First, the whole thing with the cooling gel, I am simply not buying it. They don't feel any different in that regard compare to stock earpads and I did not find them to become cooler when not in use.Second, the material definitely feels nicer on them but they are thicker than the original which causes two issue with first being the fact that the headset is significantly harder to dock and second that the fit might not be as comfortable as the A50 is already consider a small headset with these pads making this even a bigger problem potentially resulting in more pressure being applied on your ears. I would have prefer if the kept the same dimensions as the original but just used different materials.Installation is easy, but that is more to do with the A50 design rather than the WCs design here. Overall they feel solid and in my opinion only reason to get them is if you wish to have better noise isolation as they are significantly better in that regard compare to originals.

Seen these ear pads on a product video for the new Astro A50X headset, decided to give them a try, so glad that I did what a difference, so comfortable to wear & so far have not felt warm wearing them which I know can be a problem with certain headsets, would thoroughly recommend these earpads.

Ottimi, meglio di quelli originali

Daje chłód przez jakieś 15s, potem efekt jest słabiutki. Są cięższe od ori, trochę lepiej izolują, bo wiadomo, że izolacja w A50 jest bardzo słaba.

Es la segunda vez que las compro, antes lo hacía para los A40, y ahora para los A50x, son muy frescas y cómodas, duran mucho y si deseas lavarlas es muy sencillo.Lo que si deben tomar en cuenta es pedir el modelo adecuado y también que como son un poco más gorditas que las almohadillas originales, cuando colocas los audífonos en su base tienes que acomodarlos un poco, ya que por lo mismo no ensambla bien a la primera.Por lo demás son muy buenas almohadillas, las super recomiendo.

OverviewI 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 ProblemThe 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 SolutionFortunately, 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 ComfortThe 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 ImprovementWhile 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.ConclusionIn 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.

the main issue i have with these headphone cushions are that they aren't as close to how comfortable the stock ones are. they might cool for a bit but they just hurt my head when wearing. the ear holes are smaller than the original ones. I wore these for a solid couple hours, they do noise cancel but they are so loose on my head they practically fell off every few minutes. very cool looking and i was so excited for it, it sadly didn't meet the expectations it set.
