Why Replace Your Arctis Ear Pads?

The stock Arctis pads are fabric over basic foam. The foam breaks down and soaks up sweat, dirt and oil, so it’s a good idea to replace them for hygiene even if they don’t look bad.

Our Premium XL pads are 50% thicker than most OEM pads, with premium memory foam and inner perforated holes for air flow. Choose hybrid velour, protein leather or cooling gel.
