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

These were the exact pads used in the SteelSeries Artics Pro headset, mine were getting old and were starting to smell a bit. Eventually cleaning is not enough and you gotta replace them completely and bam its like a new headset. They easily slide over the small slots on the side it just take a min to pull them over a bit at a time.

This was a perfect replacement for my headset and i have had no issues so far with the item

I love how easy it is to put on

These fit perfectly on steelseries arctis 3 and arctis pro. They look original and work great. They are a little firm but might wear in a little. Overall great product

That question hits my mind every time I get a new set of headphones as I live in the desert. When I bought a Takstar Pro 82 and its younger cousin Cooler Master MH 752 the stock pleather-lined cushions proved to be great winter earmuffs. Thus began a hunt for pads that breathe... Enter these...generic fabric pads made for the SteelSeries Arctis headphone lineup. The mesh that touches the skin may feel a tad itchy for the first few hours but afterwards, I had no issues with the fabric. Pleather lines the inside of the pad supposedly to keep the sound curve from sounding too light and airy like a lot of pure fabric and velour pads sound. The protective mesh screen is glued on by a piece of plastic which houses the foam and preserves the pads shape. The foam recovers too quickly to be memory foam but still is very soft. They can work for the Takstar Pro 82...as long as you are willing to cut out and attach 4mm foam rings to create a seal around the plastic tabs that hold the stock cushions in. Now they can stay on my head for hours without uncomfortable heat or sweat with little or no change to the sound and they isolate about as well as the stock pads too so the sound should not leak out to nosy roommates or siblings. I also found these pads a perfect fit for the Meze 99 Classics. Just peel off the stock pads and stretch these pads on. I heard nearly no change to the sound but of course your mileage may vary on these subjective matters. Considering how well they worked for these other two headphones, they should be fine on the actual headphone they were designed for. So if you have the Arctis, Takstar Pro 82, or the Meze 99, get yourself some breathable pads today because...summer is coming.

These feel better then the original ones that came with the headset! A+

It did exactly what I expected and needed it to do. Installation was intuitive. Relatively inexpensive. Can wear for hours without discomfort. Would buy again.

It feels and fits just like the original.

I really liked these replacement pads it was close feeling to the original arctis 5 and went on easy. daily driver for at least 6hrs use a day for 1year and 8months and now its separated from the part that attaches to the headset. but I would buy again
