Only thing that would make this better is some ice white, hot pink design for the white HS80, not everyone is using black :D

[@J0HNWICK]

it doesnt gone off!!! The earpad on the side witz the mic, the glue went off. Fucking quality!

[@yarddog121085]

The timing on this could not have been better! my stock cushions just started failing at the glue line on the plastic bracket and I couldn't figure out how to get them off to see how I could fix them, and then this video drops with the perfect instructions. I also went ahead and bought some of your shop's cushions, too, so thanks for uploading this video.

Mine started doing the same a few days ago.

[@Nareimooncatt]

Same here, mine started failing the other day after about 6 months of light use, and just got my WC replacement in. On initial impression, they seem to live up to the marketing. They are more comfortable, I think the cooling gel is doing something, and sound isolation is a bit better as well. Haven't been able to use them yet, but worth the cost I think.

[@NoApparryleDarryle]

Dude dead ass owned for 2-3 months and the legit were pealing, 5-6 months now they are folded down

[@ChantingInTheDark]

I'm in the same boat, my HS80's have lasted a good while, but I have the same issue - the cloth covering around one ear pad has come apart from the glue giving up.

[@DursTuckle]

The glue line failed on one of my cups, so I bought a pair of y'all's to replace them. Had no idea they came off so easily. Props to Corsair for making the ear cups easy to remove and look clean. Too bad their glue isn't as good. 😂 I got the 90s ones, and these are way better than stock. Super comfy, encase my entire ear, better sound deadening, and they look slick

[@WickedCushions]

Glad you like them!!!

I've had 2 HS80s and the first pair, took a lot of force to remove the the pads the first time. After the first time they came of without much force. My second set never had the issue and came off the first time with very minimal force. So just a heads up that if you haven't removed the pads before and they seem to not be budging, 1) make sure you're twisting the right way 2) don't be afraid to use an almost uncomfortable amount of force

[@WickedCushions]

Yep, my set seemed like I was about to break the headset the first time I removed it

[@TheElemynt]

Thank you so much! These are awesome! The ear cup is wider and thicker and feels so much better on my ears than the original cups!

[@WickedCushions]

Glad you like them!

[@fredericosanchez9000]

As a guy with big ears which also happen to sensitive to pressure, I am so thankful for this product! Every headset I've ever tried was uncomfortable after wearing it for more than 30 minutes. Those ear pads fixed this issue for me! Big quality of life improvement as a gamer!

[@WickedCushions]

Glad you like them!

[@kyounokaze]

I've had my HS80 for almost 2 years, one cup cushion came off completely so I was able to see the locking mechanism and not have to worry about being rough with it since it as already cushion-less. It was incredibly stuck, I need to use pliers on it and still struggled. Eventually came off with enough force. I put it back on to test if it does get easier, and I think the easy remove after taking it off once is because it was not fully twisted in when put back (I could see mine without a cushion was not fully twisted on even though it felt like it could not twist more and felt secure), twisting it on fully also takes a bit of force and there is an audible click. Then I needed to grab the pliers to get it off again, but it was slightly easier. I would have bought a new headset without this guide, so I decided to buy two replacement cushion sets from WC instead (after confirming good reviews from other content creators). Edit: Surprisingly the other ear cushion came off easily, maybe it is up to luck how easy each cushion is to remove. The WC replacements arrived, been using them for a few days and very happy. I work in IT and play games for fun, probably wearing a headset more than not. I don't know much about cushions but I know what I like, and these are comfortable.

[@WickedCushions]

Thanks for sharing your experience! Glad the guide helped and saved you from buying a new headset. We appreciate your support in choosing our replacement earpads 🙌

Thanks a lot for this! Bought one as replacement for the stock earpads - the fabric on mine came off last year. Looks to be the same case for a lot of people here. HS80 is a good headset except for the fabric/glue.

Great job. I just replaced my cushions and the process was very quick and easy. The default cushions are too hot and I use my headset for many hours per day. These new cushions feel much nicer.

[@Azthell]

I looked for a tutorial because I was unable to fit the new pads, watching your video made me see that the problem why I couldn't fit it is because the piece that held the old one was still there, I managed to remove it and it fit as easily as you can see in the video, thanks, I don't know if it will look strange, the comment is translated from Spanish to English with Google

Glad the video helped!

[@mikalemadden1762]

Yikes, those took a lot of force to get off! Was kind of scared. Totally worth it though, I replaced the earpads on my hs70s when those started to deteriorate, then when that headset gave out and I got an hs80, I had to get some of your ear cushions for it, as well. They are much, much better than the stock ones!

I really love this pads, they are really comfortable, i have a question, what do you reccommend to clean them? is there a procedure or something i need to know to avoid damaging the pads when i do it?

[@WickedCushions]

Use Clorox Disinfecting Wipes or Cottonelle Baby Wipes to clean your ear pads. Avoid alcohol wipes as they can damage the color. After cleaning, wipe with a simple cleaning cloth, like those for sunglasses.

[@Playbahnosh]

this was very helpful, thank you! The cloth covering started coming off the earpads at the glue line, and I couldn't figure out how to take it off without breaking it. Some superglue solved this issue for now. Thanks for the info!

Thank you! Mine just came off today and I thought I would have to buy a new one.

[@spartansoldier175]

I got these as my hs80s earpads started to fall apart via the glue like many others. The quality on wicked is definitely better than the factory ones, they are also super soft. Any plans to make a more cooler airflow version? My state gets very hot in the summer and cold in the winter, so I would like to have 2 sets i can swap out.

[@WickedCushions]

This is the coolest we have right now honestly

[@brodyyucan]

Thank you. This headset is built like garbage and both of my cushions have failed at the outer glue line leaving me with super rough foam to rub against my face. Lovely. I will buy some of your cushions, hopefully they last longer than the 4 months I got out of these ones!

[@WickedCushions]

Glad I could help!!!

[@stiang2232]

I ordered these ear pads yesterday, and I hope they are better than the original, my issue is not with my ear touching the inside driver at all, but I do have issues with the earpads being overall to "hard" if you know what I mean. The pads are soft if you touch them, but with the headset on my head they dont feel soft at all, and i feel its pressuring a lot where it sits around my ears, therefor I hope your cushions are softer when sitting around the ears. I also never been a big fan of full cloth earpads, my old Hyperx had leather and it feels better ngl, tried the cloth on them and they were horrible, it felt like wearing a wool sweather that itches on your skin, luckily this headset doesnt have that issue, but they could be softer. Maybe they will be softer after a few months of usage, but i dont want to purchase a headset to wait for them to wear out :P I did wish that you made earpads in full leather tho, I know some people have issues with leather getting hot, didnt have a lot of issues with that myself, but with ur cooling gel tech that would never be a issue anyway I'd assume :)

[@WickedCushions]

I hope you like them!

[@slimydog8946]

Do you have any replacement pads for the Corsair HS55/65? It seems to be a bit different than the other models that you already support.

[@WickedCushions]

We do not :(

[@antonioriefolo1594]

Is there any chance I can get exact dimensions on the ear opening on your product? I'm considering buying those because original ear pads don't fit my entire ear, so I'd like to know if yours could ^^

Dang it, I would have bought some of these except for that PU leather, every single product I have ever bought with that stuff has peeled off within a year. Such a shame.

[@WickedCushions]

Yes, PU leather will eventually peel off over time. You can clean them regularly to prevent them from flaking off too fast. Use Clorox Disinfecting Wipes or baby wipes for cleaning. Clorox wipes remove odors and stains without affecting color. Avoid regular alcohol wipes. Follow up with a cleaning cloth for sunglasses.

Are you talking about ours or the originals? It could be a defected pad, if its our feel free to contact us so we can figure this out

[@OfficalPr0xyTools]

I just wanted to say that my review may change over time, but I got a set for my Corsair HS80 and it seems the "cooling gel" ones are SO STIFF. After installation I've now noticed that I can't enjoy bass heavy notes either for the fact the earpads do not take any shape whatsoever to my head, or the additional depth is causing the headset design to over-stretch the headband as they don't feel right for this headset. Hopefully they will "eventually" wear in. Overall I give this product a 4/10 because it does work and function as intended, but unless you want WORSE sound quality you're looking for a decent set of replacements DON'T cheap out again by buying these and just stick with Corsair's replacements.

[@WickedCushions]
