WC Freeze Blackshark V2 Pro 2023 - Cooling Gel Earpads by Wicked Cushions Only (Does not fit Old Blackshark V2 Pro) - Boost Comfort, Thickness, & Sound Isolation for Epic Gaming | 90's Black

This is the second time I have bought ear cushions from Wicked Cushions, and I haven't been disappointed yet. I had them on my Corsair Virtuoso SE, and now on my Razer Blackshark v2 Pro. They're easy to install once you get the stock ear cushions off, and they have a very high quality feel to them. The fake leather material looks nicer than all cloth on all my headsets, and the breathable cloth material on the side that touches your head is very soft. The cooling effect of the gel inserts works pretty well, and I could definitely tell they were "cooler" than the stock ear cushions. They also make the comfortability skyrocket. I can wear a hat with my headset on using these, and they push each side away from my ears just enough so they don't touch and get sore. They improve the sound quality so much because they make a much better seal when on your head. The Blackshark v2 Pro already has good noise cancellation, but this made it 10x better. Overall, this is a great item. It's totally worth $30, and now I feel like I can actually wear my headset for hours at a time. 10/10, will be buying again.

Pretty easy to install with a trim tool or carefully with a knife. Just make sure you got the stitching on the bottom won’t seat correctly upside down. even tho it still snaps in it’ll be loose you’ll have to flip it over. but overall review is it’s amazing super comfy changes the look and the feel of the headset. It’s more of a quality feel compared to the cheap thin foam pads that come stock on these. Buy em if you want but it was definitely worth my money.

Exceptional replacement for the stock earpads. The cooling isn't oversold and the fabric is very soft and hasn't begun pilling which was an issue I had with the stock pads. The thickness is about the same but the comfort is better. The noise cancellation is also marginally better but still worth the upgrade.

Significantly more comfortable compared to the standard ones the Blackshark ships with, my main gripe with the old ones were the depth at which my ears could go before becoming scrunched. However, I do have one complaint; as many other reviews have claimed, after a while, the cooling gel starts to work like an insulator, instead of venting heat, it traps it in and your ears get noticeably warmer than using the standard cups. Overall though, a good improvement over the standard model's cups.

These really improve the black shark. The factory ear pads are horrendous. So is the attachment system I own a lot of headsets the only attachment system I’ve seen comparatively as bad is on steel series. By the way, WC freeze just because the factory has six attachment points doesn’t mean you have to make a hook for all six. It would be nice if it was easier to remove once I’ve installed aftermarket ear pads, but you utilized every single attachment point just like the factory ear pads, which makes them an absolute MF to remove. Now the original system is not your fault. Obviously I’m just saying on future plans when you see a headset like this, you don’t have to use every attachment point you could get away with literally two of them. But great ear pads as usual everybody knows that about WC freeze.

But I just can't. Saw these in a Linus ad and I was needing new pads so I was sold easily. And you know what? The quality is actually amazing, the replacements go on so easily, and you can feel the cooling as soon as you put them on... but you just can't leave them on for long at all. I tried to wear them in different positions, but no matter what I did, it hurt to wear after just twenty minutes. I would feel the pain down my jaw for hours if I tried to power through it. Maybe it would get better over time with the memory foam, but I just can't bring myself to have a headache over these. It's just heartbreak.

So I had ordered these and they came with plastic clips melted then got a replacement and same thing. Wicked cushions contacted me to make things right offered the refund and explained there is a manufacturing issue they have had to pull all the cushions out from being sold to fix it and they will send me a pair free of charge once the new pairs are in stock. This is great customer service and will keep me a WC buyer as they went out of their way to contact me to fix the problem. They stand by their product and make things right, this is how companies should be ran. Don't be afraid to buy them because if something is wrong they will fix it. The cushions are also the best, but the service might be better! They also did not ask me to rewrite the review I am just always appreciative when companies truly care about their products and customers. Being in customer service myself, it is the customer after all that keeps you in business and provides your paycheck. Wicked cushions has this right. Thanks for making the best cushions and standing behind your product and claims.

The gel cushion is nice and cool for the first 5min, after that it just hold your body temp and is warm, takes about 30min-1hr to fully cool back down, other then it being warm/hot when worn longer then 5-10min, it does give ear space and is somewhat comfortable if heat isn't an issue. Cotton or non pu leather would be cooler but will intake more outside noise if that's an issue

Comfortable

Good quality materials, and actually make the headset sound better, a bit tight at first since the stock earpads are shallow compared to these, but after a few days of the head band stretching out, super comfortable.

Honestly, pretty good. I think it's a little expensive, but it's okay. I would buy again in a year because it's good to replace them every year because moist builds up over time and dead skin.

Incredibly easy to replace. They do get a bit warmer than stock as the cooling gel eventually turns into warming gel, but the sound isolation is a lot better and is worth the tradeoff. The gel does cool down very quick if you run warm, so a little break solves that.

Very comfortable and cooling, will buy again!
