Bose QuietComfort Ultra Ear Cushion Kit — Black

These black replacement ear cushions restore comfort and acoustic seal to Bose QuietComfort Ultra over-ear headphones in minutes.

Designed as a straightforward swap for worn, torn, or missing ear pads, this cushion kit brings back the soft contact and proper fit that influence comfort and sound. The set fits both first- and second-generation QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, and installs without tools so you can get back to listening quickly. The pads are tailored to match the original shape and mounting, ensuring a snug connection to the ear cups.

How easy is it to replace the ear cushions?

Installation is intentionally simple: peel off the old pads and press the new cushions into the same mounting groove. No glue or special tools are required, and the design aligns with the original snap-in mechanism to hold securely during regular use.

• Tool-free swap: remove and press new cushions into place
• Snap-fit design matches factory mounting points
• Guided edges help align the cushions quickly

Will these cushions work with my QuietComfort Ultra Headphones?

The kit is compatible with Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 1st Gen and 2nd Gen. The dimensions and attachment style mirror the factory pads so they pair correctly with both generations without altering fit or function.

• Made to fit both 1st and 2nd Gen QuietComfort Ultra models
• Maintains original earcup alignment and seal
• Preserves on-head comfort and stable clamping force

What performance differences should I expect after replacing the pads?

Fresh cushions restore the intended contact against the ear, improving comfort and the passive acoustic seal that supports bass response and noise isolation. While the pads won’t change the headphones’ electronic performance, a proper seal can noticeably affect perceived clarity and low-end balance.

• Reinstates a consistent seal for reliable bass and balance
• Reduces pressure points for longer wearing sessions
• Helps maintain isolation previously provided by intact pads

What materials and care are recommended for the replacement cushions?

The cushions use soft, durable materials chosen for comfort and longevity; wipe them gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid soaking or using abrasive cleaners, and allow pads to dry completely before reattaching to prevent moisture buildup inside the ear cup.

• Wipe clean with a damp, lint-free cloth and mild detergent
• Avoid soaking, hairdryers, or harsh solvents
• Store headphones in a case to extend cushion life

Who is this for? If your QuietComfort Ultra Headphones feel less comfortable, have torn or flattened pads, or once-tight isolation has diminished, this replacement cushion kit is a direct and affordable way to restore the original fit and feel. It's ideal for everyday listeners who want to extend the usable life of their Bose headphones without replacing the entire unit, as well as for travelers and professionals who rely on consistent comfort and performance during long sessions.
