Game-Changing Comfort Upgrade for the Nova Pro Wireless!!!!
After installing the WC Freeze Nova Pro Wireless cooling gel earpads for today wow all I can say what a difference between the oem earpads and these. I can confidently say they are a must-have upgrade for anyone who spends long hours with the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset, they are nice and cool no sweat and no leather to deteriorate and leave flakes on your ears. My wife had noticed something on my ears and she thought it was dried blood, but it was flakes from my oem earpads. These earpads should not have any issues with that. ✅ Comfort: 10/10 The most noticeable difference is the cooling effect. Right out of the box, the gel layer provides a refreshing touch that significantly reduces heat build-up during extended sessions. Whether I’m gaming, working, or in back-to-back calls, my ears don’t feel overheated or fatigued anymore. That makes a huge difference in summer months or warm rooms. ✅ Fit & Installation: Installation was straightforward. It took just a few minutes to pop off the stock pads and snap these on. While it can be tricky watch the video please they send you a QR code to scan and take your time and be patient, you need to push down around the ring around not on top of the cushion pad like it said and around where the clips press into the headset earpiece. The fit is snug and secure, with no wobble or looseness. Designed specifically for the Nova Pro Wireless, they maintain the headset’s clean look while adding serious comfort. ✅ Build Quality: Wicked Cushions nailed it on materials. The memory foam feels premium and supportive, while the leatherette which is on the outside + mesh combo on the surface balances softness with breathability. They seem like they’ll hold up over time with no signs of early wear after daily use. 🎧 Sound Isolation & Audio Quality: Surprisingly, the seal created by the new pads improved passive noise isolation a bit. Audio remains just as rich and immersive as with the stock pads — maybe even tighter on the low end due to a better ear cup seal. There’s no negative impact on soundstage or clarity. 🔄 One Small Note: If you’re used to ultra-soft cloth pads, these will feel slightly firmer at first due to the memory foam and gel combo — but you should get use to it I already have in one use. Final Verdict: If you love your Nova Pro Wireless headset but find the stock pads a bit warm or uncomfortable over time, the WC Freeze Nova Pro earpads are worth every penny, kind of pricey but totally worth it. They enhance comfort without compromising audio quality or fit. Easily one of the best comfort upgrades I've made to any headset. Get them now and you won't regret it.

Adhesive failed after drying in the sun – still re-buying.
After I gently washed the pads this morning with a toothbrush, a bit of castile soap and hot water, I set them out on the patio to dry in the hot desert sun. Unfortunately, when I retrieved them this afternoon, I was pretty bummed to find that the pads had burst open. My theory is that the foam absorbed a ton of water and swelled, which was too much for the adhesive to contain after being weakened by the heat of direct sunlight. I don't necessarily blame the manufacturer for this failure - though the adhesive had started to delaminate in a couple small spots prior to this, it was the water and sun that sealed their fate, not poor construction. I took them apart just for fun and to have a peek inside, and I was impressed enough with the materials and build quality that I thought I'd take the opportunity to post some close-up pictures of the stitching and materials. Sorry they look gross - I promise all the goop is just adhesive residue! It's like they hit it with a can of spray-on adhesive before final assembly, honestly (though that sounds negative and I don't mean it that way). All the stitching is clean and even, with minimal bulk while still leaving enough seam allowance to avoid weakening the seam. The faux-leather is still perfectly supple and doesn't show signs of cracking or degradation at all. The gel is very soft, very heavy, cold to the touch, and about 4mm thick. I found a couple of small tears in it, but can't say for sure that I didn't cause them during disassembly. The top layer of gel was well-bonded to the foam, but the interior gel was much less strongly attached, and fell away from the foam without effort. As to an actual review, I'm generally quite pleased, and have already purchased another pair of pads to replace these. I don't think the cooling gel does much of anything, but I also don't have non-gel cups to compare them to. My ears still get plenty hot on warm days or with extended use, but I think the added comfort of the gel justifies the negligible cost increase anyway.

I have both - the WC Freeze is superior to the other, but both are AWESOME replacements!
I purchased the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless so that I could perform tasks around the house with quality noise canceling and background noise suppression for those on the other end of the communication. However, the original ear pads were much too narrow. In addition to simply not fitting well around my ears, the headphones were downright painful on my outer ear after a relatively short gaming session (compared to, say, Astro A40, which is comfortable for days at a time). The Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless ended up collecting dust on a headset hanger next to my desk because I flinched at the prospect of having to wear them for more than a few minutes at a time. Then I got the WC replacement pads. Oh. My. God. If you own the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless, YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF to replace the default ear pads with these. They are so much more comfortable I can barely describe it. I fail to understand why Steelseries hasn't made some adjustments based on how amazing these replacements are. So, bad on Steelseries for making such an unpleasant headset experience, but HURRAY! for WC for making such excellent replacement pads. The cooling gel pads have a fabric layer that rests against your face. It is soft, comfortable, doesn't get sticky when its humid, and stays comfortable for hours and hours. As far as the cooling aspect... I think that's probably not really the case, unless you refrigerate them first. But honestly, I would buy these a hundred times over, regardless of whether the cooling marketing is actual or not. The fact that I can use my headset comfortably is all the reason I need. Great job, WC. Great instructions, SUPER easy to pull off the old set and install the replacements. If you are on the fence, jump! These are the ear pads you have been dreaming about.

Top Quality Product, 3+ Year Review
I've had these on my Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headphones with daily use for over 3 years now. As a glasses wearer, I've successfully worn my headset for 7-8 hour durations with no comfort issues. This was one of the best investments I have made to the point I'm writing this review now. I just noticed that the design is starting to peel off, but the cushions still work as well as ever. I'm going to purchase a new set not because they don't work anymore, but rather I want to support a company that sold me an amazing product and so I can finally update my design. I feel like I rarely praise a company and their product these days, but this is absolutely worth the investment.

Much more comfortable, with a slight cost
So I got these because the noise cancelling "bumps" inside the earcups were hurting my ears with the OEM pads. These 100% removed that issue and are much more comfortable than the original pads. They definitely look and feel like high quality material and are holding up well for a while now. They do also feel much cooler than the original pads. I have one minor complaint - the are just a little bit too thick. It makes them fit a little weird and the bottoms don't really seal well. This causes noise cancelling to not work nearly as well and be more sensitive to head movement (though most of the time, i have the headphones in passthrough mode anyway). They are also quieter now and will require a little more volume than you're used to and an EQ adjustment to get the original tone back.

Surprisingly Good Sound Quality
I have the post 2023 edition of the Nova Pro Wireless, so I didn’t have the ANC nub issue. I did want a cloth like feel VS the leatherette for comfort. Originally I tried the WC stealth pads and while comfortable they drastically changed the sound mainly in the bass department. They just weren’t it. I’m happy to report these are great! They sound really good and the bass is still there. I would almost argue they sound better than the stock pads, which I was really surprised about because I’m pretty picky when it comes to audio. Just make sure you use the gadgetrytech EQ settings for the freeze pads! The ANC isn’t as good but the ANC isn’t really great on the Nova Pro anyway so that isn’t a deal breaker in my opinion. Still use the ANC because I think it helps with the sound EQ. Since the pads are thicker they squeeze my head a little more but they are still more comfortable than the leatherette seal. Installation isn’t hard just be careful and go slow. They will work you just gotta get all the snaps in the right places. For the record I don’t hate the stock pads, but if you’re like me and want the cloth feel instead these are the answer!

10/10
I have been waiting a long time to replace the old disgusting original headset pillows, and finally got these as saw some youtube video about them. The instructions were super easy and replacing the cushions was simple, I love the new ones, they fit perfectly to my Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, they are very comfortable, they look cute AF and honestly I even like the new smell it has XD. Wish they'd have more cute colors! Would definitely buy again.

Great for a day! Then.... *UPDATED*
Package came quickly. Finally got them installed. First day: Awesome! Was actually very cool on my head! Day two to present: Not so awesome! Though the fabric is more comfortable than the leatherette from the factory, it still feels like a furnace after an hour or so. I have no idea why. I have to take my headphones off for me to cool down every two hours or so. Yes, they're comfortable! Until that initial coolness disappears. The quality of the build is very good and the stitching is very tight and I could see them lasting for a long time. My only issue is that, much like the factory original pads, they get just as hot. Maybe I got a set that skipped through quality control? IDK. Yes, I'd spend the money on them to replace the factory pads after they got worn down, but I got these right out of the gate and put them on my new Nova Pros. So I guess I'll keep the factory ones to switch out to after the WCs wear out. ****They're not worth the money. The sweat is real. Don't waste your money. Complete waste.****

Comfort, freschezza e qualità
Ottimi cuscinetti, freschi, spaziosi e traspiranti, non fanno pesare lunghe sessioni con le cuffie. Io li ho usati sulle Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Omni e sono perfetti, si montano molto facilmente (c'è anche un video tutorial). Unico appunto che è necessario fare (per i possessori di Nova Pro Omni almeno) è che essendo per consistenza leggermente diversi dai cuscinetti in dotazione alle cuffie, con questi cambia leggermente l'acustica delle cuffie. Niente di grave, basta andare a sistemare un minimo l'eq.

Very very good
These take some time to soften but they are way more comfortable than original ones. Sweat isn't a problem. They are always cool. Also my headphones look way more premium

Ultimate Comfort Upgrade for Your SteelSeries Headset!
I recently purchased the WC Freeze Nova Pro Wireless Hybrid Fabric Cooling Gel Replacement Earpads for my SteelSeries headset, after my stock earpads became worn out. Comfort: The moment I put these earpads on, I felt a significant difference. They are incredibly soft and provide a snug fit that doesn't pinch my ears, even during long gaming sessions. The cooling gel feature is fantastic; it keeps my ears from overheating, which is a game changer during those marathon gaming nights. Installation: Installing the earpads was a breeze. They fit perfectly on my SteelSeries headset without any hassle. The process took just a few minutes, and they felt secure right away. Sound Quality: I noticed an improvement in sound quality as well. The new pads create a better seal, enhancing the bass response and overall audio experience. Whether I'm diving into an intense game or listening to music, everything sounds clearer and more immersive. Durability: The hybrid fabric feels high-quality and durable. I can tell these earpads are built to last, and I’m excited to see how they hold up over time. Overall: If you’re looking to upgrade your SteelSeries headset, I highly recommend the WC Freeze Nova Pro Wireless earpads. They offer superior comfort, enhance audio quality, and make those long gaming sessions much more enjoyable. Worth every penny!

Nytt liv åt hörlurarna bättre en originalet
Original kuddarna hade nöts sönder och hade blivit obehagliga och krymp så mina öron nuddade själva högtalaren. Jag tänkte köpa nya hörlurar vilket kändes så surt då dom är dyra. Hittade dessa efter tips av vän och dessa är tjockare och nu känns hörlurarna bättre en originalet och kylan är bara ett + bra bonus är jätte nöjd
