Tbh I have a pair, but I much prefer Defean and Soulwit. The material on the inside of the cup is a silk and way smoother, causing way less irritation. I think they cool much better as well, and Soulwit has some color options. Wicked Cusions are for look and Defean and Soulwit for performance.
Ooh just the comment I'm looking for! I want to buy a red cooling gel pair, but couldn't decide between Wicked Cushions and Soulwit. So would you recommend I get Soulwit for both comfort and performance? I've also read that cooling gel pads aren't that good after a few hours of use....what are your thoughts on them pls?
Just anticipating some comments about the "Lack of designs" (5:51). To be clear, most have a few options and some, like the nova 7 Pro, have loads. They're all pretty similar though and I'd like to see more plain colours.
Agreed. I've been asking them for a few months to introduce some more patterns or incorporate the white design used for most on the Corsair HS80 since they're typically a white headset but they said they have no plans currently for new colour schemes. I would be nice if they could introduce some pink ear pads as Corsair stopped selling the pink custom kit for the HS80 in favour of making an all pink headset under its own name to try to milk the market and further neglect decade long customers, similar to what we've seen from HyperX and their Cloud II's. Hopefully Wicked Cushions can pick up the slack in this area.
I understand that they need to have unique designs so that you can tell, just by looking at them, that they are Wicked Cushions. But I reckon more customisation options and more ways to personalise would probably equal more sales too.
Even just including their designs across all headsets, so that if we see one in white we like we can have it on our headsets instead of watching videos of them putting put on other headsets lol@@goukigod
To be honest, the reason why not all headsets have our entire design collection is the following : Not all headsets have the same popularity unfortunately. As an example, a 90s white design can sell 10 units a day on nova pro wireless, but sell 5 units A MONTH on epos h6 pro. Hence why we sometimes have to cut some designs from specific headset and cannot keep them due to logistical reasons :/
Just trying these for the first time on my Bose700. They look really good. The only thing is that it changes the sound. Now they are a lot brighter. I hope there is a fix for this.
My solution for sweat/heat is just having long hair lol. My M50Xs have the oldest most flaky earpads ever but just haven't bothered replacing them as they dont even reach skin.
I would have thought that was even hotter?! Wicked cushion sell ear pads for the M50X, and I reckon they'll sound like new wickedcushions.com/products/audio-technica-ath-m50x-ear-pads-by-wicked-cushions
I love them on both my Arctis Nova 7X and Logitech G Pro X Wireless. They do change the sound signature some but i have modified the EQ to accommodate them. Also while they are comfortable they honestly only stay cool for 5-10 minutes then are just normal. Better than leather for me but definitely doesn't stay cool an entire gaming session.
imo they arent really that good, the "cooling tech" is cool for like 1minute then it becomes warm... i would rather have a normal fabric earpad than this
Works great for me on my epos h6 pros and sennheiser momentum 4s. 10+ hour work days have been made way less sweaty than before with my sennheiser momentum 4's (2 weeks). Long gaming sessions are also great on my epos h6 pro (4 months). Ive had my momentum 4s for 2 years already and this was a massive improvement comfort-wise as well as with cooling
@@TheCoolerBob what could I possibly NOT do right that would make them fall apart, I got them, I put them on my headset, used them, and now they're falling apart
@@zDonr it depends on how often you wear them of course. i wear my headphones daily for hours and most replacements are done after 6 months. the originals last a little longer, i wish some manufacturer would make real quality replacement ones for these types of use cases that last years.
bro.... 11 months for ~$20?... if it's a daily use that's baller. All earpads degrade. There's not a single earpad that doesn't degrade, they're like car tires.
Pls stop i have them 4 days now. That cooling effect is way over rated! My room temp was way lover than in the ear cup. My ears sweat, comfort is ok but there is lack of breathability, there is none. Never again will buy them. Poor quality fake leather i expected real lether around.
@@Mekoo420 I can attest to this, They indeed make it hotter and near unplayable for long periods of time, the cooling effect is non existent in fact they get even hotter than my regular pleather pads on another pair of headphones I own, all in all the cooling effect is just a marketing buzz word, my advice don't waste your money

Loving hearing the accent from a fellow Aussie 🇦🇺

Pad swapping will change how they sound. The only way to change this is through EQ settings
I have white and pink kitty paw thumb caps on my PowerA Xbox One PC controllers, great minds think alike 😁
Yeah, they came with a genuine pad I bought from Asia. I'm not normally into that sort of thing but this time I had to. I love cats!

Great review and great video!! Keep up the excellent work 👏🏼
Thanks a ton!
"wicked cushions sent me a stack"
thank you, ctrl + w
I've since purchased some for my other headsets.
I had to get replacement pads cause I hate dense foam and vinyl. Ouch!
Hmmm. So if I have a giant dome these will make any headset fit tighter, right? My Astros are already modified for my huge head😅
Theoretically yes.
Great review, thank you!
My pleasure!
Anyone know where I can get pads for the Beribes model WH202A?

Mine came melted well the mounting ring was melted and the foam was stuck where it melted and ripped as soon as I tried to pull them apart.
I bought mine 11 months ago and they're falling apart 🙃 I would recommend passing.
You sure you did it right
@@TheCoolerBob what could I possibly NOT do right that would make them fall apart, I got them, I put them on my headset, used them, and now they're falling apart
def js a unlucky bad batch have had mines for 1 and a half years and it hasn’t fallen apart or got bad in anyway
