WC Freeze Nova Pro Wireless - Cooling Gel Earpads for Arctis Nova Pro Wireless ONLY (Doesn’t Fit Other Models), Made by Wicked Cushions, Improved Durability, Thickness & Sound Isolation | 90's Black

I was about to write these off as a waste of money. The loss of audio quality by going to these was a deal breaker. Then I watched the install video and realized that they weren't clipped in all the way (even if it looks flush it's not). There's a special foam in the inside that if it is not clipped in all the way, the active noise cancelling for the headset doesn't work. I had 2/4 clips on each earcup that hadn't "clicked" in. WATCH THE VIDEO.Once that was figured out, these ear cups are absolutely amazing. Comfortable for every day use, you don't feel as much pressure on your temples/ears when wearing them, the sound quality is on par with the stock ear pads. The cooling effect lasts maybe about 20-25 mins then they do get warm, but not so warm that your ears sweat like the stock Nova Pro ear cups. 10/10 I would recommend these in the future to anyone who needs a new set.

After installing the WC Freeze Nova Pro Wireless cooling gel earpads for today wow all I can say what a difference between the oem earpads and these. I can confidently say they are a must-have upgrade for anyone who spends long hours with the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset, they are nice and cool no sweat and no leather to deteriorate and leave flakes on your ears. My wife had noticed something on my ears and she thought it was dried blood, but it was flakes from my oem earpads. These earpads should not have any issues with that.✅ Comfort: 10/10The most noticeable difference is the cooling effect. Right out of the box, the gel layer provides a refreshing touch that significantly reduces heat build-up during extended sessions. Whether I’m gaming, working, or in back-to-back calls, my ears don’t feel overheated or fatigued anymore. That makes a huge difference in summer months or warm rooms.✅ Fit & Installation:Installation was straightforward. It took just a few minutes to pop off the stock pads and snap these on. While it can be tricky watch the video please they send you a QR code to scan and take your time and be patient, you need to push down around the ring around not on top of the cushion pad like it said and around where the clips press into the headset earpiece. The fit is snug and secure, with no wobble or looseness. Designed specifically for the Nova Pro Wireless, they maintain the headset’s clean look while adding serious comfort.✅ Build Quality:Wicked Cushions nailed it on materials. The memory foam feels premium and supportive, while the leatherette which is on the outside + mesh combo on the surface balances softness with breathability. They seem like they’ll hold up over time with no signs of early wear after daily use.🎧 Sound Isolation & Audio Quality:Surprisingly, the seal created by the new pads improved passive noise isolation a bit. Audio remains just as rich and immersive as with the stock pads — maybe even tighter on the low end due to a better ear cup seal. There’s no negative impact on soundstage or clarity.🔄 One Small Note:If you’re used to ultra-soft cloth pads, these will feel slightly firmer at first due to the memory foam and gel combo — but you should get use to it I already have in one use.Final Verdict:If you love your Nova Pro Wireless headset but find the stock pads a bit warm or uncomfortable over time, the WC Freeze Nova Pro earpads are worth every penny, kind of pricey but totally worth it. They enhance comfort without compromising audio quality or fit. Easily one of the best comfort upgrades I've made to any headset. Get them now and you won't regret it.

After I gently washed the pads this morning with a toothbrush, a bit of castile soap and hot water, I set them out on the patio to dry in the hot desert sun. Unfortunately, when I retrieved them this afternoon, I was pretty bummed to find that the pads had burst open. My theory is that the foam absorbed a ton of water and swelled, which was too much for the adhesive to contain after being weakened by the heat of direct sunlight. I don't necessarily blame the manufacturer for this failure - though the adhesive had started to delaminate in a couple small spots prior to this, it was the water and sun that sealed their fate, not poor construction.I took them apart just for fun and to have a peek inside, and I was impressed enough with the materials and build quality that I thought I'd take the opportunity to post some close-up pictures of the stitching and materials. Sorry they look gross - I promise all the goop is just adhesive residue! It's like they hit it with a can of spray-on adhesive before final assembly, honestly (though that sounds negative and I don't mean it that way).All the stitching is clean and even, with minimal bulk while still leaving enough seam allowance to avoid weakening the seam. The faux-leather is still perfectly supple and doesn't show signs of cracking or degradation at all. The gel is very soft, very heavy, cold to the touch, and about 4mm thick. I found a couple of small tears in it, but can't say for sure that I didn't cause them during disassembly. The top layer of gel was well-bonded to the foam, but the interior gel was much less strongly attached, and fell away from the foam without effort.As to an actual review, I'm generally quite pleased, and have already purchased another pair of pads to replace these. I don't think the cooling gel does much of anything, but I also don't have non-gel cups to compare them to. My ears still get plenty hot on warm days or with extended use, but I think the added comfort of the gel justifies the negligible cost increase anyway.
