Arctis 3/5 / 7/9 Replacement Black Fabric Ear Pads Cushion Compatible with SteelSeries Arctis 3 / Arctis 5 / Arctis 7 Arctis 9 / Arctis 1 / Arctis pro Lossless Wireless Gaming Headset Headphone

It feels different that the original, my ear gets heated pretty quick, unlike the original

It does what it advertises, the feeling of the sponge is not like the original at all, this one is much more firm and does not seem to squish as comfortably as the original. If you are looking replacements that are 1 to 1, this is not it, but if you are looking for something that can replace broken earpads, this will do fine.

Should have bought these months ago. Slipped right on. Perfect fit. Steel series gaming headset

TLDR: If youre looking for replacement pads for ATH-M50x or Xbox Wireless Headset that are soft, lightweight, and breathable without changing the default sound signature much, these are a great buy. However, if you are in an environment where you dont want or cant have sound leaking in the surrounding area, I would pass on these. I was in the market for replacement pads for my ATH-M50x and Xbox Wireless Headset and read that these would work. In short, they fit both headsets well, are easy to install, lightweight, and breathable. I didnt notice any significant degradation to the overall sound signature of either headset. However, I ended up not using these for either headset. Because of their design, they allow a lot of sound to leak out and for my use case, I didnt want that. They are breathable and I didnt notice my ears getting warm at all which is one of the reasons I wanted to replace original, but ultimately I decided that less sound leak was more important.

Pretty close to the original, I couldn’t tell the difference

Better than the original by not observing sweat.

Good instructions, product was well-made! Easy to install! Would recommend to buy.

Does exactly what its supposed to do, and I compared it to my old ear cushions, theyre the exact same.
