SOULWIT Cooling-Gel Earpads Replacement for SteelSeries Arctis 1/3/5/Arctis 7/7+/7P/7P+/7X/7X+/9/9X/Pro/Prime(Do Not Fit Any Arctis Nova) Headset, Ear Pads Cushions with Ice Silk Fabric - Red Storm

These SOULWIT replacement earpads were super easy to install—went on my Arctis 9 Pro without any hassle. The fit is perfect, and you can definitely feel the cooling effect right away when you put them on. They’re comfortable, well-made, and honestly, I have zero complaints.If you’re looking to upgrade or replace your earpads, these are a no-brainer. They’ve been a great addition to my headset!

I had to replace the cushions on my Arctis 1 and decided to splurge by getting the snow leopard pattern. The gel cushions feel firmer than the originals but are still pleasantly squishy, fit the headphone perfectly, and they were super easy to put on. The gel cushions are slightly thicker and shorter than the originals but that could be the years of wear that changed their shape and once on my head I don't notice the size difference. I tried out the suggestion to add a little water for more of a cooling effect and it was a game changer for me personally, especially with this summer heat and my set up being by a window. I feel like the plastic/ faux vinyl around the gel cushions are going to be way easier to clean than the original cushions. The sound quality while playing my games and shows are improved a bit enough that I turned down the volume and I hear less of my neighbors' renovation outside. Overall I highly recommend getting the gel cushions over the standard foam replacements and go ahead and get a cool design, you deserve to have a little sparkle in life ✨👍🏻🤠

I like them, but I don't know if I feel the cooling gel effects. I haven't used the water dropper yet though and not sure if I will. It's seems odd. They are comfortable and relatively easy to put on.

An excellent replacement for the stock ear pads. Even with a fan I tend to get hot while gaming for long periods of time. The cooling effect helps with this quite a bit. They fit exactly like the stock earpads and are a bit firmer to keep your ears away from the speakers while resting on your head nicely.

fits and comfy. was easy to replace

Debated buying this but I gave in & I have no regrets. Super comfortable, great for long wear. The cooling gel is legit. Would definitely purchase again.

Bought it because my old pads were wearing out and was kind of worried about how they would feel. But they feel way more comfortable to wear than the old ones. My ears don’t get hot and the cushioning is wayyyy better

I have an Arctis 1 headphones which was in need of earpads replacements for a while. Why I bought this one? Well, it all came to price, specially they were on sale. There was no earpads available from Steelseries for this model so had to hunt. Since only option was a generic replacement, I decided to go for cheap ones so if I don't like it, I could replace it soon. I went for the gel versions to check what it is all this about. My reactions, the gel ones make the headphones heavier, they are not soft as the original ones and felt warmer. Yes, you need to water them, and they came with a dropper for that purpose. For me it's an inconvenience to do this every time. Guess the sweat will have to cool down the gel pads.On the body of the earpads, they are smaller and thinner than the original ones which gets me some discomfort at first. Also, since either because they are smaller, thinner or heavier, the headphones now always rest in the headband area, they don't snap in the ear. See the pics included. They also came with some minor defects which for the price I really don't mind. But they are there. I have to say that even they were smaller, they fit perfectly in the Arctis 1 headphones. If your concern is budget wise, they are ok for the price, but if you ask me if I will buy them again, I will say "been there, done that".
