WC PadZ WH1000XM4 - Extra Thick Earpads for Sony WH1000XM4

Got these as I've had my xm4s for 4 years now so you can imagine the earpads are a bit worn in. Did some research and this brand came highly reviewed (on reddit) so thought I'd give them a go. So far, so great! Really easy to take the old pads off and replace them with these new ones. Sound quality doesn't appear to be impacted and they're super comfy! Only had them for a couple of days, but I'm loving them so far. Great pricing for the quality and they feel like the original ones. Will see how durable they are the more I wear them.

I haven't had my Sony wh1000xm4s very long but after long periods of wearing the headphones I was finding that the ear cups were becoming slightly uncomfortable. I began to do some research on potentially upgrading the ear cups and the same company kept popping up as a good upgrade, wicked cushions. I found these on amazon and decided to buy a pair. Here are my own personal thoughts so far. Changing the pads around was super simple. The pads come with clear instructions and a link to a video which shows you step by step how to remove the old pads. Once fitted I've listened to my headphones for at least 7hrs straight and as far haven suffered no ear fatigue. The quality of the pads are extremely comfortable. Now to how they sound. The old pads that come with the sony WH-1000XM4 are slightly shallower than the wicked pads so your ears are closer to the headphone drivers. This is obviously going to make the original pair sound slightly louder due to closeness. The wicked cushions have a deeper depth which means your ears are not as close to the drivers hence this makes them ever so slightly less louder, but this isn't a bad thing. Now the noise cancelling does seem slightly less powerful not sure why this is but it's just a point that I have found. But the overall musical sound is still top notch. Now one thing I shall be monitoring over time is the condensation build up within the actual driver casing. Those who know about the condensation build up after long periods of use understand that this can impact the headphone sound quality over time and that you have to clean the water droplets from inside the driver housing. My thoughts are that due to the wicked cushions being deeper that this may stop this issue from arising. But this will only be proven in time. But my overall impressions of these pads are excellent and well worth the upgrade 👍🏻

After years of daily use, the original ear pads on my Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones began to show signs of wear. I decided to try the WC Wicked Cushions Replacement Ear Pads, and I'm thrilled with the results. **Comfort:** The Wicked Cushions are noticeably thicker and more supportive than the stock pads. The memory foam provides a plush feel, and the faux leather is soft against the skin. I've worn them for extended periods without any discomfort. **Sound Quality:** These replacement pads have maintained the excellent noise isolation and sound quality of the original pads. Although due to how thick the pads are, there are times that the proximity sensor loses track whenever I put the left earcup to the side, turning off the headset in the process. Small gripe. **Installation:** Installing the new pads was straightforward. The package includes a step-by-step guide, and I had them fitted in under five minutes. **Durability:** The reinforced stitching and quality materials suggest that these pads will last longer than the originals. They feel robust and well-made. Overall, the WC Wicked Cushions Replacement Ear Pads have revitalized my headphones, offering enhanced comfort and sustained audio performance. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to replace their worn-out ear pads.

Nothing wrong with the pads that came with my XM4’s but they did make my ears a bit hot. So, I looked at all the reviews and decided to try these replacement ear pads. I’m very happy with them: more comfortable and my ears don’t get as hot. No reduction in sound quality, noise cancelling, or operation of sensors. I have fairly large, odd shaped, ears from years of rugby abuse but these ear pads gave improved what was already a reasonably confortable headphone set. A bit of wind noise when I have on sunglasses but no worse, and possibly better than the originals. I like them and glad I bought them.

I was disheartened when the stock pads on my Sony xm4 started to go flat. They flattened so much that my ears started to touch the headphone drivers. I contacted Sony who said they’d replace them under warranty but I’d have to send them off and it’s take up to 6week turn around. I googled replacement pads and found the wicked cushions website. They seemed decent enough and at only £20 I thought it was worth a try. OH MY GOSH ARE THEY AWESOME. They are thick and plush giving a good distance from my ears. But nice and soft to give a snug fit. They don’t affect the effectiveness of the noise cancelling. The headphones are perfect again. The design is awesome and a nice change from the stock black. They were really easy to fit when you follow the instruction video on YouTube. Takes 2mins at most. They have a bigger padding than the original Sony pads were when I first got them. Nice and comfortable. I can’t comment on how well they will fair over time but a week in, I’m mega impressed and very happy with my purchase. In fact I bought 3 pairs in case I need more in future as a backup (and I see Amazon stock of these going fast). Buy them if your default xm4 pads have gone flat. You won’t regret it.

quality 4/5 comfort 3/5 sound 3/5 Not the comfiest, however they do sit clear of the ears engulfing them which is certainly a plus, however there is indeed a massive impact on noise cancelling, with these i can now hear the tv, my partner having conversations and most background noise whilst i am watching videos/ films ect, these are a decent product but i can only assume its the internal materials but they Absolutely do affect the noise cancelling ability hence i can only give it a 3 star

Excellent ear pads. I'd like them about 5mm thicker but upon actually fitting them I realised the headphones might not fit into their hard case anymore, at least not without compressing the pads and reducing their life. Huge praise for the instructional video, super clear and no unnecessary chatter.

fantástico, muito identico ao que veio de fabrica. Tinha até esquecido que troquei. Muito bom o produto. Super Recomendo.

Jakość wykonania całkiem dobra, montaż prosty ale NC nie jest tak dobry jak w oryginalnych. Mimo wszystko jest w porządku.

Fixed a Squealing issue in my XM4's. I had a high pitched noise coming out of my right speaker. Online forums said to replace the microphones, or headphone cups/cushions. So bought these. Easy to fit, 5 min job, corrected the issue with the headphones and they are like new now. Comfortable to wear and fixed the squealing. Very happy, would buy again.

It must be packed or manufactured way too old . The package was just simply send by slapping the adress on the package itself. Considering 1899 rs this was not meant to be received like that and no way its worth that much. Sellers discription include too much advertisement about the product quality. Yet it arrived with a torn stiches. After usage it's completely torn. (Pictures are provided). The quality, comfort of the product is actually not bad. Easy to install. Instructions are available in YT. And it is thick, comfy and identical to the original. Just feel like the product is just old. And this might be subjective and personal, I felt like noice cancellation ability was reduced a bit after these on. UPDATE! Wicked Cushions reached out to me through Amazon and offered a full refund under warranty, even months after my purchase and review. I was initially skeptical about their "refund if not satisfied" policy working in India, but they proved me wrong. Now I have my money back and decent earpads, despite the torn stitching. This experience shows how much they care about their customers. I vouch for them as a trustworthy, professional brand and highly recommend them.

I was looking for replacement ear pads for my Sony WH-1000XM4, and these were a great choice. They are very close to the original ones in terms of comfort, fit, and overall feel. The installation was straightforward, and once fitted, they look almost identical to the originals. If your original ear pads are worn out, these are an excellent replacement without paying the higher price for the official ones.
