These are exactly what I was looking for. The summer months where I live are HOT and the pads the Astro A50s come with make long sessions feel like a chore. These pads are excellent at dispersing that heat! They're much thinner than the originals, but they feel much more comfortable. There's really not much more I can say. My only question will be if these pads will stand the test of time. If I find after a few months that they're not maintaining their softness and feel too compacted, I'll be back here to update. But for now, 5 stars all the way 👍 Read more

This wicked cushion set is amazing for upgrading the comfort of the a50x. The stock headband is a little light on the padding, so adding the headband is a great way to increase the long term comfort for the a50x. The pads are also a big comfort upgrade as they have the cooling gel. Keep in mind the pads will have a negative effect on the sound quality, so you need to EQ the headset to get some of the old sound quality back. Read more

100% better than the originals that came with my Astro A050’s (gen 4) especially the top headset piece I have used them for a couple weeks now and they are very comfortable all the way around they also fit into the base station perfectly just like the originals did I’m not sure if they fix the top headset piece from falling out because I already had the plastic clip I purchased on Amazon to keep that from happening and I just put it back on when these arrived they are extremely easy to change no tools or anything the ear cups are held in with magnets you simply just pull them off and stick the new ones back on I have never noticed any cooling features they talk about ( nor did I really expect to honestly) they may be more expensive than others but well worth it I would highly recommend these to anyone Read more
