SOULWITCooling Gel Replacement Earpads for Audeze Maxwell Headphones, Ear Pads Cushions with Breathable Ice Silk Fabric, High-Density Noise Cancelling Foam - Black

Perfect! I the best of the 3 after market I tired, couldn't be happier, good quality fabric, soft and comfortable, easy to install. I recently had them on for about 6 hours and felt no heat buildup at all. Highly recommend!

I was able to get a couple different pad swaps to test with the Audis Maxwell, one of which did not end up fitting, but that is not depicted here in this case. I have the Dekoni, the SoulWit, and the stock pads.These soulwit pads are amazingly comfy. Their cooling gel feature works for probably about 15 minutes and then they start to adjust the temperature of whatever they're touching I.E. your head.Sound wise, I would like to say that these enhance the bass but I wasn't really able to pick up on that, I think they act a little bit like a reflective service for your music. Which isn't a really good thing. But you are dealing with a 90 millimeter driver, so it isn't a huge difference.If you'd like a warm sound signature, I do like the dekonis, but because of the material they're made out of, I think they're a little bit warmer on the ears.I would say these are a 30% upgrade from the stock pads, but not a huge, huge change.For $20 it's a no risk purchase and their build quality is great.Try em and see if you like em more than me?Personally, I haven't taken them off since I put them on if that's a positive.

After trying many pillows that claim to be 'cooling,' I was pretty skeptical about these. However, the stock earpads get so hot, I gave them a try. They work! I immediately felt the 'cool' sensation when I put them on, but after a couple hours (the real test), they remained pretty neutral - definitely a huge improvement over stock. They installed very easily on the Maxwells, and going back to stock would be easy, but I don't plan on doing that. I noticed no impact on the sound, either, so so far, I can't think of any drawbacks. Very happy with these!

This ear pad is well made and comfortable.The cooling effect works initially but eventually gets warm just like any other cooling ear pad.The best part though is the size of the ear opening. The ear opening is a little larger than the original pads, allowing for more comfortable wear for larger ears. The material is also soft and comfortable, while still maintaining the edge pleather to keep the sound profile close to original.

I actually have modded these pads for my Harmonicdyne Athena. It is a 50mm ceramic dynamic driver instead of the 90mm planar magnetic contained in the Maxwell, but from what I can tell, that does not matter. If you have good sonics to start with, these pads are only going to enhance them, especially in the lower frequencies. They are super comfortable as well and the "cooling" effect is definitely noticeable during the hot summer weather. Honestly, these pads are so good, they have me thinking about actually buying the Audeze Maxwell. With the mounting brackets already installed in the pads, I am sure that changing them out with the stock pads will be a breeze. For me and the Athena, it took a lot of patience and double-sided Gorilla tape before I had a good seal. Not recommending you do that, just get the right pads for the Athena. lol. For the price, the comfort, and the sonic performance, I cannot recommend these enough for Audeze Maxwell owners. Very satisfied with the purchase.

These fit my Audeze Maxwell headset. The foam isn’t as stiff as the wicked cushions. I really like the fabric that touches your ears. It is very smooth and silky like. They do have that cooling sensation when you put them on.They include a dropper for water that can be placed on the cushions. It says to drop the water and then wait 2-3 minutes for extra cooling. I’m a little hesitant to try that and would be worried about getting water on the driver without taking them off.Tip: I found that pushing the entire cushion down and making sure it is flat with the headphone before twisting to lock in place works best so it snaps in.All in all, this is a good product if you want a non protein leather cushion. My ears didn’t get iratated all.

These earpads are incredibly comfortable and surprisingly they do have a cooling effect. The pads are thick so parts of my ears aren’t pressed against the inner part of the pads which means they don’t start to get sore after wearing my headphones for a couple of hours. I haven’t tried the cooling feature (adding water to the pads) but even without that they are still cool on my skin even after wearing the headphones for a while.

This worked great for a headset that I am really fond of. They stuck on easy and was pretty close to the original size. Might have been cooler but hard for me to tell. Didn’t interfere with the headset sound at all.
