Freeze Momentum 4 - Cooling Gel Earpads for Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless & HDB 630 Headphones by Wicked Cushions - Boost Comfort, Thickness, & Sound Isolation for Epic Listening | White

I purchased these Wicked Cushions replacement pads for my Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless headphones after reading some great reviews, and they did not disappoint. The stock pads aren’t necessarily bad, but they tend to get warm and a bit uncomfortable after a while. In contrast, these pads from Wicked Cushions felt noticeably cooler straight out of the packaging and stayed comfortable even during long listening sessions. After 30–45 minutes, they did warm up slightly, but I still felt a subtle coolness around my ears, which was a nice touch. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised to notice a slight improvement in sound quality, specifically that the bass felt deeper and the overall clarity seemed better. It wasn’t a drastic change, but enough to enhance the listening experience. Overall, I give this a solid 5/5. The comfort upgrade alone is worth it, and the added audio clarity makes it an even better value. Highly recommended if you're looking to improve your Momentum 4s. I used ChatGPT to write my overall experience because I don't feel like writing it out lol, BUT personally it was nice man, the coolness sort of renews itself like once second its slight warmth and the coolness is back almost as if it revolves around the gel pad, The mic still sounds good confirmed after sitting on a call with the bae and the on/off feature when you take off your headphones still detects as normal with no drop in feature quality so dont worry about if its not gonna be able to detect when it's on, I have yet to have that issue either. ALSO IT'S COMFY, but you might have to get used to the cold feeling around your ear, somewhat might bother people who haven't used something like this before. Fit snug and the size was basically the same as the original.

Wicked Cushions Freeze earpads, across the board, add weight to your headsets. You need to know that going into it. Whether that tradeoff is worth it to you depends on your use case (the ol' YMMV). I feel they are a nice change from stock and worth it. With the Momentum 4, the stock earpads are soft and squishy and comfy, provide a great seal and isolation (even with glasses), but are not the most breathable and become pretty hot and sweaty after a bit, especially in warmer weather. Enter the WC Freeze gel pads! I've worn the M4's with the WC pads for a few extended periods and many short periods over the course of several weeks, and they are definitely cooler and more breathable. I find them just as comfortable as the original pads, but it's a different comfort - they're firmer, but still squishy enough to get a good seal, and give your ear a bit more room in the cup. The WC Pads do affect the ANC on the M4, but only slightly - I'd estimate it's about 10% less effective with the WC pads vs. stock, so not a big difference for me, but I can see some having an issue with it in a louder environment. If it's your average office or monotonous hum sound (engine, subway, plane, etc), I'm not sure it will be noticeable. With regards to the M4's sound signature, there is a subtle overall change in the sound. First, please understand that perception of sound is a very personal thing, and for me the WC Freeze smoothed the low end bass out a little, and brought the mid bass forward a little, and barely smoothed out the top end. I also feel it slightly widened the sound stage, but that's a difficult thing to measure with closed-back, noise canceling headphones. Ultimately, it's more of a subtle change from stock that is probably more noticeable to audiophiles, but the change is less noticeable for most people that aren't reading a squig line and fussing over the Hz.

These are super comfy! The ear holes (is that the right term?) is a little bigger, so it doesn't put any pressure at all on my ears. The installation process is incredibly easy, the old ear pads snap off, and the new ones snap on (good job Sennheiser!). Took less than 3 minutes to replace both sides. Just make sure you snap them on properly, cause my first go, noise cancelling wasn't working in my left ear. I just needed to push the snaps down a little harder. After hours and hours and hours of wearing my headphones, my ears aren't hot, there isn't any pressure on them, and they're far more comfy than the original. The quality feels nice, it seems that they will last a long time, and there is a nice snug fit around my ears. I've already recommended these to several friends.

At $25 it's a reasonable upgrade specifically for the heat and breathability problem. Just don't expect everything else to stay identical to stock. The cooling effect is real with ears staying noticeably less hot and sweaty compared to the stock pads, which was the main reason I bought them. Comfort is solid and the fit snaps on cleanly with no issues. Installation takes under five minutes. The tradeoffs are worth knowing upfront though. ANC takes a slight hit. Not dramatic but noticeable if you're in louder environments. The sound signature shifts a little too, with bass coming across differently than stock. Neither change is a dealbreaker but audiophiles will notice. They're also firmer than the original pads and add a bit of weight to the headphones.

I purchased these because the company commented on Reddit about the size, that these were larger than the standard ear cups for the Momentum 4 and so would fit larger ears. I was struggling with my new headphones because they sat ON my ears instead of around them. So I took a chance. I'm glad I did! Installation was easy with these ear pads; Sennheiser finally modified their headphones to have click-on/click-off pads for easy replacement. These look great too - the pattern is very 90s without being overly gaudy. The cushions are super comfortable and very high quality. Since it uses a fabric instead of pleather/vinyl where it comes in contact with your ears, it feels cooler and is easier to clean, and won't start falling apart after a couple of months. I'm happy with the value and quality of the product.

Yes more comfortable but that’s compared to two year old stock pads so the difference is probably negligible compared to new Sennheiser pads. ANC seems slightly reduced letting in more external noise. Soundstage is brighter probably a little to much for me so hopefully I can EQ that out. Pad fit to headphone sees good, clipped in no issues. They do add a bit of extra weight and with the bright soundstage and reduced ANC I can only give 3 stars.

I've been using the Sennheiser Momentum 4 as my go-to wireless ANC headphone for about a year now, and I always kind of just barely tolerated the drivers pushing up a bit against my ears as the alternative ANC headphones on the market either don't have good enough sound quality for me (really dislike how the Sony XM and Bose ANC headphones sound), or are far too expensive (I would love to daily drive a Focal Bathys but it is...$800). These pads are pretty spacious, so they push the drivers back enough for this to no longer be an issue! They don't seem to get as warm as the stock pads too, which is nice. Keep in mind that I do have medium-sized ears, so these pads fit me pretty well. YMMV though if you have larger ears. Generally speaking the sound seems mostly the same to my ears, with a couple of differences I've noticed: 1- Soundstage actually seems to be a bit wider, I think partially due to the drivers being further away from my ears, which is actually quite nice. 2- I have noticed more treble presence. I am pretty treble sensitive so this did lead to some sibilance for me on some female tracks at higher volumes, but since I can EQ down the 8kHz region in the Sennheiser app this is not a dealbreaker for my use case. This also may also be desirable for lower volume listening as it does add a bit of extra sparkle and detail. All and all I am pretty happy with my purchase! Originally got these to sort of turn my M4s into something like ANC earmuffs to put over my IEMS (Kiwi Ears Cadenza) for airplane flights or any other situation needing heavy noise reduction (3M earmuffs just take up too much space for my use case). These pads GREATLY help with that use case as they give additional room as to not push against both the IEMs and my ears, and for general casual listening I'm quite happy to have the additional comfort over the stock M4 pads.

If you have Momentum 4 headphones, these let your skin breathe in hot weather. Definitely makes the difference. Minor impact on ANC.
