Brainwavz Gaming Earpads for Razer Kraken & Other Gaming Headsets & AKG 701 Q701 & Other Headphones (See List, Dimensions & Video), Cooling Gel, Memory Foam, Micro Suede, XL Round Black

I ripped the OEM pads off the OEM mounting rings; it just leaves some glue residue. Those I found were much more flexible than the aftermarket garbage ones I bought.These installed easily on the OEM rings and are very comfortable.

They are a good pair of pads my friends and brother really liked these but there ears are small compared to mine but even with these being XL I still found them just a little too small and even with that It was enough to make my ears very uncomfterble but they are still good if you don't have huge ears like me

I got these for my Beyerdynamic 1770 PRO, which isn't technically compatible if you try to install these as intended. However, If you ignore the groove you're SUPPOSED to use and just put the holding part of the pad right over that lip entirely, then straighten it out so it's not folded back under itself... In short, it works.And the sound?BLISS.I literally cried for six solid minutes because it is just that much better. The highs are slightly quieter (which is a plus for these headphones), bass is tighter and more contained, mids are clean and clear... and something about it just works with these headphones. They should have shipped them with these pads in the first place, in my opinion.As for comfort, there's lots of space for big ears, plenty or room in all three dimensions (which for me is important). The Cooling Gel can make these feel cool to the touch after they've been sitting long enough to cool down properly and while heat does still build up, I'm pretty sure that issue is attenuated quite well compared with if the Cooling Gel wasn't there. All-in-all a solid upgrade from stock.I also got a pair of these for my brother's $50 headphones that happen to use the same standard of earpads, and he reports better bass, better localization of sound, and an overall cleaner audio experience. Plus the same comfort improvements that I've experienced. Basically it went from 50$ headphones to $100 headphones because of the pads. Seriously, these will make ANY headphones better as long as they're compatible or bootleg-compatible with the standard.

The media could not be loaded.  I was initially excited to try these gel-lined earpads with my DT 770 headphones, and their installation was surprisingly easy, perhaps a little too easy.It quickly became apparent why: the earpads were too large for the headphone cups. The excess material in the band that wraps around the earpiece meant that they didn't form a tight fit.This looseness caused the pads to slide and shift when being used, significantly affecting the stability of the headphones on my head.The poor fit also compromised the audio experience, as it failed to create a proper seal around my ears, allowing sound to leak out.Despite these issues, it’s worth noting that the gel lining of the earpads does add a level of comfort. The material feels nice against the skin, and has a slightly heavy weight to it that I like.I attached some pictures and a video to help show what I'm talking about.

I got these for my HyperX Revolver S headset. My original ear pads tore at the seam and you could see the memory foam. It was really bugging me because one side sounded louder than the other so I was very close to buying a whole new headset. I did some research and came across Brainwavs. I wasn’t 100% sure if they would work but I saw a picture on their website that showed the XL’s on the Revolvers. I got these cooling gel ear pads and they slipped right on. The only thing I had to do was poke a hole where the 3.5m mic goes into the headset but that was really easy.Sound:As far as the sound goes, they sound just as good as the original ear pads. They don’t completely block all sound out but I don’t notice much of a difference now to how they were before the switch.Feel:When wearing the original ear pads, after 30 minutes I would have to take them off and get a little breather because my head would start hurting and my ears would get sweaty. So far with these cooling gel ear pads, I have been able to play for hours and I wouldn’t have the need to take the headphones off. My ears sweat a little but no where near like they did. When I put the headset on for the first time every day I can tell the difference with the cooling gel just because of the cool sensation.I was skeptical at first getting these ear pads because I didn’t think anything bought as a separate ear pad would be as good as the originals but these really blew my mind. I would recommend these to anyone who had their original ear pads damaged or for someone who wants something more comfortable. 5 Stars!!!

They are cooler for 5 minutes, but then the gel absorbs your body heat. Combined with a lack of breathability compared to normal earpads, these are not good. Get the ones without the gel instead.

I have owned a lot of pads and headphones. I typically use ZMF or Dekoni. The Brainwavz XL with cooling gel intrigued me, as they would fit my Audio Technica AD2000 perfectly. I am glad I purchased them!The micro suede was very similar to the AD2000 Ecsaine (man made suede) and has a very nice feel. The cooling gel works great for a few seconds but the cooling is really a very minor benefit. What I do like is that it helps provide a little more resistance and reduce clamping force with better weight distribution. The gel underneath also helps with a better seal, so I really only recommend these for headphones that are either meant to have a nice seal or need a bass boost. These boost bass nicely and have little effect on treble, as the micro suede is fairly absorbent for high frequencies.Most importantly - you are getting great pads and not spending the $60-$80 on Dekoni or ZMF (which I still love btw).

Very easy to use and efficient at cooling ears. Very comfy material

These worked really well on my ATH-R70x. The stock ear pads were way too small. I didn’t notice a drastic difference if any to sound quality/signature. Great comfort and fit. Easy to install.

Wirklich gemütliche Ohrpolster auch über viele Stunden, und mein Ohr passt komplett rein. Passt unter anderem auf Beyerdynamic MMX300 Rev.2. Man muss zwar etwas strecken aber es sitzt gut drauf.Die Wirkung des Kühlgels ist begrenzt, da die Gelschicht selbst die wärme nur schlecht abgeben kann. Wenn man sie aufsetzt fühlt es sich kühl an, aber das vergeht sobald das Gel sich aufwärmt. Aber für den Komfort ist die Wirkung trotzdem gegeben, denn das Gel passt sich den Unebenheiten am Kopf schön an, sorgt dadurch für einen guten Abschluss und ein weiches Gefühl am Kopf. Auch über längere Zeit werden die Ohren nicht zu warm und nicht zu feucht. Dabei isolieren die Polster durch den verwendeten Schaum die Geräusche relativ stark, sowohl Außengeräusche als auch der Bass der Treiber wird gut eingefangen. Das Mantelmaterial ist dünn, weich und angenehm auf der Haut.

Amazing little cushions, the cooling gel was a weird thing to get my head around at first but now I'd never go back. The material is top quality and is so much better than leather effect headphone cushions. Fits Razer Kraken v2 7.1 headphones perfectly.

Excellent très doux, tempère la chaleur aussi c'est réel

I bought these ear pads 2 years ago after that they were sold out. And when I saw that they were available again I bought a few as a replacement. Unfortunately, it is a completely different pad. It is 5 mm thinner and has much less padding. The version I bought 2 years ago is better quality.
