WC Freeze Nova Pro Wireless - Earpads for Arctis Nova Pro Wireless & More

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.

​Here is my honest review of the Wicked Cushions (WC) earpads. Please note that this is somewhat subjective. I am currently using them with the Arctis Nova Elite. ​1. Comfort & Fit Even though the WC earpads are thicker than the stock ones, they are very comfortable to wear. As a glasses wearer, the original earpads used to press against the tops of my ears, causing pain after long sessions. However, I haven't experienced any of that discomfort with the WC earpads. They are plush and comfortable enough that I can wear them for hours without any pain. ​The cooling gel feels nice and refreshing at first, but over time, it warms up to body temperature, so the cooling sensation doesn't last. Nevertheless, the surface that touches your head is made of a breathable fabric rather than leather, which makes it feel much less stuffy. ​2. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) The ANC performance is a bit disappointing. Due to the increased thickness of the earpads, there are noticeable differences in both ANC and overall sound quality compared to the stock pads. While the difference isn't massive, the reduction in ANC performance is definitely noticeable. ​Overall Impression: If you're willing to sacrifice a bit of ANC performance, these are a great choice. The build quality and overall finish are excellent, and above all, they are extremely comfortable. You can wear them for hours on end without any discomfort.

These WC Freeze ear cushions are a game changer for my SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless! The original ear pads tend to get pretty warm during extended gaming sessions, but these make a huge difference in keeping my ears cool and comfortable. You do lose a little bit of the noise cancellation compared to the original cushions, but honestly, the improvement in comfort makes it absolutely worth it. A fantastic upgrade that I highly recommend!

If you own the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless and are still using the stock ear cushions, do yourself a favor and pick these up immediately. Right out of the box, they look significantly sharper than the originals. The comfort level is fantastic. The padding is plush, breathable, and stays comfortable even through long listening sessions without fatiguing your ears. Beyond just feel, I am genuinely convinced my headphones sound better with them installed; the seal and depth seem to bring out cleaner bass and clearer audio separation. Even if they simply match the lifespan of the OEM pads, they are well worth the investment. In fact, I am already planning to grab an extra set or two just to have them backed up in case they ever get discontinued. An easy, wholehearted recommendation for anyone looking to dramatically elevate their Nova Pro Wireless headset. You will not regret making the switch!

If I'm being completely honest, if I don't have to wear headphones while gaming I prefer not to. I never got used to having a piece of hardware on my head covering my ears. But living with family sometimes its the only viable option. My choice on the Arctic Nova Pro Wireless was the best decision I made however for high quality sound in gaming. Immediately I wanted to make sure my comfort level was highest as possible as I have mentioned, I never really liked wearing headphones all that much. I was very pleased once I recieved this product. The additional $30 for these cooling gel earpads is 100% worth it. Earpads themselves: Very soft, very comftorable. They are like foam in a way. Press down on it and let go and the material stays in that shape, slowly stretching back to its idle state. The adhesive quality feels good against your skin, the cooling gel making it actually feel like you have an almost below room temp earpad against our ears. Functionality: If your worried about loss of noise cancelation, I can confidently say it shouldn't be an issue. I admit, I installed the earpads immediately. So the default ones they come with the headset compared to these I cant say for certain. But I can say sound is still absolutely crystal clear. I never thought I'd hear detailed sounds you would normally not hear without the headphones Installation: Very easy. Pay no worry on getting the original ones off and these cooling gel earpads on. The product comes with a link to a tutorial video that will take you step by step on how to install them. It should take you less than 5 minutes to get these on, without no tools but a butter knife (seriously). Value for money: For $30? Yeah I'd say its worth it. any more then I would feel its a bit on the deepened however fortunately that's not the case. [I'm fresh in giving proper reviews, I want to do them more so I hope this helped. Happy gaming!

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.

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.

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.****

Zamówiłem 2 komplety biały dla narzeczonej i czarne dla siebie, pady + magnetyczne dekielki + opaski. Jestem w opór zadowolony, było drogo co prawda ale warto jakość lepsza niż oryginały SS.

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.

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

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!
