WC FreeZe Cooling Gel Earpads for Arctis Nova

WC FreeZe replacement earpads are hybrid fabric cooling-gel cushions designed to keep your SteelSeries Arctis Nova headset cooler and more comfortable during long sessions.

Upgrade worn or sweaty cushions with this set of Wicked Cushions WC FreeZe earpads made for the Arctis Nova family. These pads combine dual-layer cooling gel, breathable sports fabric, and durable PU leather to improve comfort, acoustic seal, and wear life. They fit most Arctis Nova headsets listed below but do not fit the Nova Pro Wireless model.

How do WC FreeZe earpads keep ears cooler?

The pads use a two-layer cooling gel system positioned beneath a breathable hybrid fabric to dissipate heat away from the ear. The outer fabric allows airflow while the interior gel stores and releases less heat than standard foam, so contact feels cooler over extended use.

• Dual-layer cooling gel for immediate and sustained heat reduction
• Breathable sports fabric top layer to promote airflow
• PU leather surround for durability and a secure seal

Will these fit my Arctis Nova headset?

WC FreeZe pads are engineered to match the mounting profile and dimensions of most SteelSeries Arctis Nova models, including Nova Pro Wired, Nova 7, Nova 5, Nova 4, Nova 3, and Nova 1 variants. They are not compatible with the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless — double-check your model before buying.

• Compatible: Arctis Nova Pro Wired, Nova 7/7P/7X, Nova 5/4/3/1 series
• Not compatible: Arctis Nova Pro Wireless
• Easy snap-on fit designed to replace original pads without modification

How do these earpads affect comfort and sound?

The thicker memory foam core improves physical comfort and helps maintain a consistent seal around the ear, which can tighten perceived bass response and reduce leakage. The hybrid construction balances softness and structure, delivering longer-wear comfort without collapsing like cheap foam.

• Extra-thick memory foam for improved long-session comfort
• Enhanced acoustic seal that stabilizes soundstage and bass
• Durable materials resist cracking and flattening over time

Is installation difficult and what comes with the pads?

Installation is straightforward: remove the original cushions and press the WC FreeZe pads into place using the included edge fit. Wicked Cushions provides a step-by-step installation video to walk you through each stage, keeping the swap quick and painless.

• Simple snap-on replacement—no tools required
• Access to a detailed installation video from Wicked Cushions
• Set includes both left and right earpads in black

Who is this for? These WC FreeZe pads are best for Arctis Nova users who want cooler contact surfaces, improved long-term comfort, and a renewed acoustic seal without replacing the entire headset. They suit gamers, streamers, and listeners who run lengthy sessions and want a reliable, breathable alternative to worn factory cushions — just confirm your headset model to avoid the Nova Pro Wireless incompatibility.
