Akakawa Foam Padding Compatible with HTC Vive Pro

Was not disappointed with this pad. Will not be going back to the stock Vive Pro pad. I have been really picky with pads as all the other ones on here are too thin, or not comfortable at all. This one is perfect. It’s a little stiff on the first few uses, but softens up after that. My wife went from disliking our Vive Pro to loving it. It does wick sweat well, but would recommend a face mask anyway just to be safe. Worked up a sweat playing Beat Saber for a few hours with this pad and a face mask on. Face mask absorbed most of my sweat. And what got by the mask this pad picked up. Can easily get the moisture out with dry wash cloth or paper towel. Going to buy two more sets of these to keep in case they ever disappear from amazon! Word of advise, to make it not feel so confining, line it up where the inner edge of the pad is allowed with the inner rim of the Vive Pro. This gives the pad a larger oval area on your face for comfort.

I bought these pads as both I and my wife use the HTC Vive Pro for athletic type games and sweat was beginning to be an issue with wet pads. These pads are thinner than the one that comes with the Vive Pro and lack the centering tab present on the original. Applying the pads still isn't a problem but what I have noticed is that these pads are much firmer than the original and consequently, it sometimes actually hurts while I'm using it due to needing to crank the helmet down in order to compress the narrower pad to get a good seal. Even my wife has commented on how hard they are. They don't absorb moisture the way the original did, but I'm hoping there is better coming in the very near future.

Unlike several others I have tried, this one actually fits in the headset really well! The material is great, but unfortunately is a bit too firm. The force-limiting on the headset prevents me from tightening it enough to make it feel like it is conforming to my face. I also found that while playing beatsaber I got more condensation than with the original foam. I will be sticking with the original foam for the forseeable future.

Whatever this is made from has no give and does not form to the face when you put on the headset. Because it doesn't form to the face, it leaves a huge amount of room for light to leak from nose area. So, even if you could stand the discomfort, it is still not ideal. I put the original foam back on and will be returning this.

I can hardly begin to describe how uncomfortable this thing is. It's just a few steps above wearing an actual brick on your face with wicking fabric draped over it. I don't know how this got through R&D let alone becoming "Amazon's choice." Every time I play for more than 10 minutes I get a splitting headache because the foam they use to fill the pad is nearly rock hard and seems to actually cut off blood circulation at my temples. I've even loosened the headset to the point of falling off my face (not exaggerating) and I still feel lightheaded by the time I take it off as blood attempts to rush back into my brain. It's disappointing because the wicking fabric is a great idea, and it seems like they could have picked a softer/squishier padding to go with it. All in all, don't buy this thing. It's not worth the headache.

It's a foam pad. Mine fit the Vive Pro just fine. It wicks moisture just fine and is reasonably comfortable.It's nice to have a few of these extra if you are sharing your Vive with friends - who wants to have someone else's sweat all over their face while playing games?

It accomplish the goal, easy to install and to wash, but it's not comfortable.

I been using this product for few weeks now playing cardio games like Beat Saber, and I can say that it is holding up pretty good. I don't feel any sweat running down into the headset or the lenses.
