WCFreeze 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 | 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.

The media could not be loaded. 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.

I purchased the Razer Blackshark v2 2023 headset in September 2023 and my biggest complaint was how uncomfortable the earpads were to wear for more than 30 minutes. I was eagerly anticipating the release of 3rd party earpads and purchased them as soon as they were available. By changing out the earpads, I now can wear my headset more comfortably for extended periods of time. The earpads are deeper, have more cushion, and have a unique and attractive look that I was willing to pay extra for. The cooling gel feels non existent, with the earpads getting warm with extended use. These earpads fix so many problems that the original Razer earpads have.

It feels and looks premium, for sure. But it's thicker than the OEM model, so the sound is definitely going to be noticeably different. I have to increase the volume from ~80% to somewhere around ~90% and that could distort other sounds, etc.

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

I love everything about the 2023 Blackshark V2 Headset from Razer. However, the only thing I knew I wouldn't like even before I bought them was how skimpy the ear pads looked. And I was right. While the stock pads are not unbearable, they definitely aren't ideal. After a long gaming session or wearing them all day for work calls your ears are a little sore especially if you wear glasses.There have been basically no options out there since these releases to upgrade, since the 2023 refresh uses a different clip configuration versus the old version. Finally WC released pads for the 2023 version of this headset and I can now say everything about this headset is awesome!These pads are significantly thicker than the stock version (see photo for comparison) and they have a nice cooling effect while you wear them.The one thing that is a little difficult is getting the old pads off. I'm sure you could use a butter knife, but I do have Bojo plastic spudgers and wedges that aided in getting the old pads off. Otherwise the best thing to do is take your time wedging a plastic tool along the outer rim & jamming your fingers along the inside edge, pressing upward to release the clips. Then work your way around.I highly recommend these to anyone who has the newest version of this headset!

Accidentally got a detective product that they said was someone else's return but immediately sent out a new pair and received them without issues been using them for awhile now pretty much daily and they have work flawless
