WC Freeze Momentum 4 & 5 - Cooling Gel Earpads for Sennheiser Momentum | Made by Wicked Cushions | Fits Momentum 4 & 5 Wireless. Boost Comfort, Thickness & Sound Isolation | Black

Wicked Cushions Freeze earpads, across the board, add weight to your headsets. You need to know that going into it. Whether that tradeoff is worth it to you depends on your use case (the ol' YMMV). I feel they are a nice change from stock and worth it.With the Momentum 4, the stock earpads are soft and squishy and comfy, provide a great seal and isolation (even with glasses), but are not the most breathable and become pretty hot and sweaty after a bit, especially in warmer weather. Enter the WC Freeze gel pads! I've worn the M4's with the WC pads for a few extended periods and many short periods over the course of several weeks, and they are definitely cooler and more breathable. I find them just as comfortable as the original pads, but it's a different comfort - they're firmer, but still squishy enough to get a good seal, and give your ear a bit more room in the cup. The WC Pads do affect the ANC on the M4, but only slightly - I'd estimate it's about 10% less effective with the WC pads vs. stock, so not a big difference for me, but I can see some having an issue with it in a louder environment. If it's your average office or monotonous hum sound (engine, subway, plane, etc), I'm not sure it will be noticeable.With regards to the M4's sound signature, there is a subtle overall change in the sound. First, please understand that perception of sound is a very personal thing, and for me the WC Freeze smoothed the low end bass out a little, and brought the mid bass forward a little, and barely smoothed out the top end. I also feel it slightly widened the sound stage, but that's a difficult thing to measure with closed-back, noise canceling headphones. Ultimately, it's more of a subtle change from stock that is probably more noticeable to audiophiles, but the change is less noticeable for most people that aren't reading a squig line and fussing over the Hz.

I purchased these Wicked Cushions replacement pads for my Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless headphones after reading some great reviews, and they did not disappoint. The stock pads aren’t necessarily bad, but they tend to get warm and a bit uncomfortable after a while. In contrast, these pads from Wicked Cushions felt noticeably cooler straight out of the packaging and stayed comfortable even during long listening sessions.After 30–45 minutes, they did warm up slightly, but I still felt a subtle coolness around my ears, which was a nice touch. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised to notice a slight improvement in sound quality, specifically that the bass felt deeper and the overall clarity seemed better. It wasn’t a drastic change, but enough to enhance the listening experience.Overall, I give this a solid 5/5. The comfort upgrade alone is worth it, and the added audio clarity makes it an even better value. Highly recommended if you're looking to improve your Momentum 4s.I used ChatGPT to write my overall experience because I don't feel like writing it out lol, BUT personally it was nice man, the coolness sort of renews itself like once second its slight warmth and the coolness is back almost as if it revolves around the gel pad, The mic still sounds good confirmed after sitting on a call with the bae and the on/off feature when you take off your headphones still detects as normal with no drop in feature quality so dont worry about if its not gonna be able to detect when it's on, I have yet to have that issue either. ALSO IT'S COMFY, but you might have to get used to the cold feeling around your ear, somewhat might bother people who haven't used something like this before. Fit snug and the size was basically the same as the original.

These feel high quality compared to the originals (I had the denim Momentum 4 with grey), which were way too soft and hot. These feel firmer but still comfortable, and much cooler with fabric instead pu leather. They popped in easy. I will definitely keep this brand in mind for my future needs.

At $25 it's a reasonable upgrade specifically for the heat and breathability problem. Just don't expect everything else to stay identical to stock.The cooling effect is real with ears staying noticeably less hot and sweaty compared to the stock pads, which was the main reason I bought them. Comfort is solid and the fit snaps on cleanly with no issues. Installation takes under five minutes.The tradeoffs are worth knowing upfront though. ANC takes a slight hit. Not dramatic but noticeable if you're in louder environments. The sound signature shifts a little too, with bass coming across differently than stock. Neither change is a dealbreaker but audiophiles will notice. They're also firmer than the original pads and add a bit of weight to the headphones.

These are super comfy! The ear holes (is that the right term?) is a little bigger, so it doesn't put any pressure at all on my ears. The installation process is incredibly easy, the old ear pads snap off, and the new ones snap on (good job Sennheiser!). Took less than 3 minutes to replace both sides. Just make sure you snap them on properly, cause my first go, noise cancelling wasn't working in my left ear. I just needed to push the snaps down a little harder.After hours and hours and hours of wearing my headphones, my ears aren't hot, there isn't any pressure on them, and they're far more comfy than the original. The quality feels nice, it seems that they will last a long time, and there is a nice snug fit around my ears. I've already recommended these to several friends.

Pros: Install is easy and straightforward, and the pads provide more space for the ears, which is especially beneficial for larger ears.Cons: The sound quality, unfortunately, is dramatically reduced such that it completely nullifies any advantages that the pads offer. I knew going in that less suction equates to decreased audio quality, but I did not expect such a stark drop-off. While I can deal with impacted noise cancellation, I draw the line at music listening. Also, the cooling gel is more subtle than anticipated, and thus does not come close to compensating for the lackluster quality of sound.

Yes more comfortable but that’s compared to two year old stock pads so the difference is probably negligible compared to new Sennheiser pads. ANC seems slightly reduced letting in more external noise. Soundstage is brighter probably a little to much for me so hopefully I can EQ that out. Pad fit to headphone sees good, clipped in no issues. They do add a bit of extra weight and with the bright soundstage and reduced ANC I can only give 3 stars.

These are •just better• than the pads that come with the headphones—and this isn't a knock against Sennheiser. I have a bunch of high end headphones, and wickedcushions are better than ALL of the original pads. When I get new pair of headphones, the first thing I'd do is buy a set of wickedcushions for them. If you don't see your headphone model here, just go to their website. I have a set for every pair I own.If you want to get into it, well for me it's this: I wear my headphones for 12 hours straight, and wickedcushions allow my entire ear to fit inside it without then touching anything or getting squished, that means comfort. They're sort of plumper without looking like itThe other biggie is the material isn't sweaty fake leather that disintegrates in 2 years. It's like a techno-sporstwear material. My ears don't get overheated like the other type.Let Sony and Sennheiser do what they do best—make great headphones, and let wickedcushions do what they do best—make great pads for those headphones.

Excelentes almohadillas de recambio para los Momentum 4!. Excelente calidad tanto de construcción, como los propios materiales.Bastante cómodas y lo más importante para mi, no sudan como los originales (sobretodo ahora en verano se valora eso muchísimo).Ojo que si bien calzan perfecto, son más gruesas que las originales por lo que el audífono se hace algo más voluminoso. Aunque igual ingresa perfectamente en su estuche original.Otro aspecto a destacar que me gustó mucho, es su look ochentero!!! Que queda perfecto con el color de mis audífonos.

Fit well and pretty easy to replace. Although it had cool gel, can't feel that it is cooler. However, pretty comfortable similar to original pads.

Brilliant product ,so comfortable and easy to install

Snel gewisseld en echt wel een heel ander gevoel qua warmte. Ze zijn iets ruimer,in mijn geval positief. Enig nadeel, iets zwaarder. Maar opzich geen probleem.

Easy to install (watched the video linked on packaging) and they work as described to keep ears cool (and I live somewhere hot).
