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

This is a sweet replacement for my old, very worn-out pads. A little tricky to install at first, but once you figure out how it is supposed to latch, the rest is easy.

works great feels nice

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.

They fit perfect.

My original ear piece my puppy destroyed it .....this here was a life saver it came on time n is very comfy like the original 10/10 Will repurchase to keep on hand.

Arctis 7 is the best wireless headset I have ever owned and owned a few of them that failed, broke or whatever. These ear pads made them like new again they are perfect. Like a whole new headset! Lets be honest the headset ear pads get gross over time these are a perfect fit and having new clean pads is awesome. Well worth the small price to make headset feel new again!

While this wasnt extremely hard to figure out. It is quite laughable that a product thats probably way overpriced online based on cost to produce cant even have a simple instruction diagram. Greed and or laziness is sad and annoying. If youre making a concious effort to say screw the people who are paying you for a product and we can figure it out, mabye well tell you to figure it out when you stop selling product.

These felt a lot better than the stock arctis 5 earpads. I got this to replace my old earpads and was expecting a cheap priduct but they feel as good or better than my arctic pro earpads.

I use a steel series arctis 7 headsets and these pads were the ones I bought to replace my old ones. The difference between the original pads and these are close to none. I’d highly recommend these pads to replace any worn/torn earpads from steel series Arctis 7 headsets.

TLDR: If youre looking for replacement pads for ATH-M50x or Xbox Wireless Headset that are soft, lightweight, and breathable without changing the default sound signature much, these are a great buy. However, if you are in an environment where you dont want or cant have sound leaking in the surrounding area, I would pass on these. I was in the market for replacement pads for my ATH-M50x and Xbox Wireless Headset and read that these would work. In short, they fit both headsets well, are easy to install, lightweight, and breathable. I didnt notice any significant degradation to the overall sound signature of either headset. However, I ended up not using these for either headset. Because of their design, they allow a lot of sound to leak out and for my use case, I didnt want that. They are breathable and I didnt notice my ears getting warm at all which is one of the reasons I wanted to replace original, but ultimately I decided that less sound leak was more important.
