I was initially torn between this model and the SteelSeries Nova Pro Wireless, but the Astro a50X won me over due to its great mic, which helps eliminate clutter on my desk. However, I quickly discovered that the stock headphone covers were uncomfortable to the point where I almost considered returning the headset. The Problem The stock headphone covers on the Astro a50X were not up to par. They caused significant discomfort, which was disappointing given the high price of the headset. This discomfort almost led me to return the headset, despite its other excellent features. The Solution Fortunately, I remembered that nearly every reviewer mentioned Wicked Cushions as a great alternative. I decided to give them a try and ordered a set from desertcart a few days ago. The results were nothing short of impressive. Performance and Comfort The Wicked Cushions headphone replacements have made a world of difference. The improvement in both sound quality and comfort is like night and day. These cushions should honestly come standard with every Astro a50X purchase. The enhanced comfort has made long listening sessions much more enjoyable, and the sound quality has noticeably improved. Suggestions for Improvement While I am thoroughly impressed with the current product, I believe there is room for expansion. It would be fantastic to see more color options, especially in the SteelSeries color variants, to offer even more customization for users. Conclusion In summary, the Wicked Cushions headphone replacements are a must-have for Astro a50X owners. They offer a significant upgrade in comfort and sound quality for a very reasonable investment. If you own an Astro a50X or are considering purchasing one, I highly recommend getting a pair of Wicked Cushions to enhance your experience. Review: Heavy duty - I’ll start by saying I literally just got my A50’s gen 4 for Xbox not even a week ago. Had 2 pairs of A40’s since the Xbox one, so I’m a big fan of them, came from turtle beach before. The factory ear cups are great, they don’t get hot necessarily, just kinda stay warm, but you never sweat wearing them. I like the fact that these have the leather outer and inner, less chance of it the fibers getting frayed over time like the stock. I bought them with the intent to try out the cooling factor of course but mainly to keep my stock ones in mint condition as a back up. First thing I noticed is they are definitely heavier than the others, i personally enjoy that, makes for a tighter fit, and the best part I’d say is it makes it almost twice as noise canceling for outside sounds. Now the sound is the main part of course, it does change it definitely. I’ve seen people say they don’t like it because it sounds muffled, the thing is, it creates a much better seal between the cup and your head, therefore; less sound dispersion, which causes a tremendous increase of bass. I’ve not been too pleased with the sound depth of the A50’s after coming from the A40’s with optical, but through a lot of tweaking the EQ on not only the Astro command center, but the Dolby access app as well, since it comes with Dolby Atmos, you can get is sounding very good for a wireless headset. Again I’m a fan of the bass so it sounds great to me, if it sounds muffled you may need to turn your bass down. I still use the optical cable with my base although I didn’t see a world of difference when I plugged it in like I did for the A40 mixamp. For anyone willing to go down this path, GadgetryTech has a perfect walkthrough of the EQ profiles for this specific earcup on YouTube, even used his code. The cooling factor is noticeable but not after too long I’d say, just take em off for a bit to charge and they will be cool again however. Overall, they do exactly what I bought them for so I can put 5 stars happily, we’ll see after the first week or so of use. ## Features - Experience the FreeZe: Do your ears get hot after several hours of using your headphones?

Reviews for the headset said aftermarket earcups were better as they are typically deeper (to prevent your ears from hitting the drivers) and for sound isolation and cooling. After a couple of long gaming sessions, I definitely agree these earcups are much better than the OEM style. Better sound isolation to focus on gaming, the fit is great and my ears fit nicely inside without hitting the drivers, making it comfortable over time. It feels like much higher quality than the OEM style as well. I think this is a great value. ## Frequently Bought Together - WC FreeZe A50- Hybrid Fabric Cooling Gel Replacement Earpads For Astro A50 Gen 4 Only, Made by Wicked Cushions, Improved Durability, Thickness and Sound Isolation | 90's White - WC BandZ A50 - Upgraded Headband Replacement Kit for Astro A50 Gen 4, Gen 5 and A50X by Wicked Cushions | Enhanced Comfort, Style and Easy Installation | 90's White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/527689291-wc-freeze-a50-cooling-gel-earpads-for-astro-a50-gen](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/527689291-wc-freeze-a50-cooling-gel-earpads-for-astro-a50-gen) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
