WC Freeze Inzone - Cooling Gel Replacement Earpads for Sony Inzone H9 & H7 Headphones by Wicked Cushions - Boost Comfort, Durability, Thickness & Sound Isolation for Epic Gaming | Black

I’ve had my Sony Inzone H9 Headphones since 2023. I finally caved in and replaced the ear pads because the noise canceling wasn’t canceling lol. I normally don’t write product reviews but man these replacement ear pads are way better quality than the OEM ones and they fit perfectly. The easy to follow YouTube tutorial makes this a pretty straightforward installation. They are comfortable and definitely feel the cooling jell doing its thing. Let’s hope these last a good couple of years!

better than the original, i feel these help keep me from sweating around my ears.

Very comfortable, feels better than the o.g padding, still does get hot but nowhere near as fast. They clip right in.

It's comfortable and feels premium. If you want this for the cooling property though... it only remains cool for a few minutes.

Definitely better than the original one.

I love how these add a bit of style to my headset and they keep cool on my head so much better than the stock pads.

Bonitos y comodos. Funcionan muy bien en los días calurosos y no se deforman con el tiempo (es mi segunda compra, necesitaba unos de repuesto mientras los otros se secan despues del lavado)

This is the second headset, specifically an active noise cancelling headset, where I've purchased WC replacements and not been super impressed. The other set of headphones had weak noise cancelling to begin with and it was a night and day difference between the WC and original pads to where I even spent a few weeks with the WC pads and then switched back and it felt like new headphones the ANC improved so much. This time yet again appears to be no exception.I have a "GT500" laptop cooler and I run it at 100% and with these headphones with the stock pads I could hardly tell the GT500 was even on with no audio playing and the thing gets pretty loud. After installing the WC and just turning them on to test, I can definitely tell the GT500 is on and it seems pretty noisy compared to before. I kind of had a feeling this was going to be the case after my previous experience, but wanted some better pads.I will test them for about a week and then switch back to the stock pads and see how noticeable it really is. If I haven't updated this review it's because my initial reaction was still correct and these ruin the active noise cancelling. If I am wrong I will come update the review. At least to give Sony credit the ANC is so good on these they still do a phenomenal job as it is. The other headset I have (Stealth Pros) it felt like they went from having ANC to zero ANC. I even did a factory reset of those headphones in any attempt to help them out to no change. Simply reinstalling the stock pads restored ANC to what it was the day I got them.I only recommend buying these if the ANC is not a major focus of their purpose or you only need mild ANC. I can turn the GT500 fan down some without much cooling loss, but figured I might as well let it run at 100% since I couldn't hear it.
