FreeZe QC Ultra – Cooling Gel Replacement Earpads Compatible With Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 1 & Gen 2 by Wicked Cushions | Breathable Fabric, Extra Thick & Cool | Black

great product , better than the stock ones on my new ultra 2 , they fell a lot cooler and also more roomy than the stock ones , my ears don't feel as enclosed , recommended 100 percent . well packaged .

MUCH better than Bose's stock ones (which seem engineered to fail after 3 months). I don't know what kind of magic material they're made of, but they genuinely do feel cool on the head, which is great for someone that runs quite hot. The thicker material here actually provides better passive noise cancellation than the stock earcups, and ANC and audio quality don't sound much changed. Installation was easy, came with a QR code for video instructions. Quite impressed with Wicked Cushions, the build quality and fit is great.

I can't rate these 5 star based on the noise cancelling being reduced but that's the only small problem with these replacement ear pads. Really comfortable and cool replacement pads. The noise cancelling is noticeably less effective since changing pads and these aren't as grippy as the stock ones so if youre looking to be active while using them I wouldn't recommend. Outside of that one caveat these are really good and comfy pads. They do add a little width to the headphones but imo it looks cooler and there is loads of room inside the pads so good for people with bigger ears or someone that likes a bit of space around their ears. Would recommend and would purchase again.

Really comfortable and keeps it cool as normal ones it was getting warm and uncomfortable these are Amazing and make bose comfort ultra even more comfort

Fantastic earpads, really easy to fit and feel so comfortable.

The build quality is impressive - the material feels premium and they are genuinely more comfortable than the original cushions that came with my headphones. The audio still sounds great, the cooling gel seems to be effective and if these weren’t for noise-cancelling headphones they would be a perfect upgrade. My main reason for buying and using Bose QC headphones is their noise cancellation. That's where these cushions fail significantly and I’ve noticed a considerable drop in their effectiveness - sounds that were previously blocked out completely from my neighbours are now audible and noticeable. I saw some other reviews mention this but hoped it was an installation error, but I think the cushions are just not as good at blocking sound. I tested with my originals again and even with a huge split down the seam the performance is better. This is particularly disappointing because the product description explicitly claims the opposite, stating: "Enhanced Sound Isolation... Our earpads for Bose QuietComfort Ultra comfortably conform to your ears, blocking out noise and boosting sound clarity." My experience was the exact opposite of this. It's a real shame because they are otherwise perfect, but I have had to order an official pair from Bose. The delivery time on those is just over two weeks, so these will do until then and still be handy to keep as a spare set. If you prioritise noise cancellation, I’d avoid these. Otherwise, they really are good.

Terrible product. As anyone familiar with noise cancelling knows that what makes it work is the balance of passive and active noise cancelling (ANC). These ear pads leak sound and hence lose the passive noise cancelling meaning that the active noise cancelling makes minimal difference. This turns a great pair of headphones into something, at best, ordinary

Perfect fit better than originals
