GEP01 Gel Ear Pads (Upgraded) for 3M PELTOR Headsets

And half the price and better quality than the 3M brand replacement gels these things are a no brainer. They’re easy to put on and extremely comfortable. The gel seems to create a better seal than the stock pads for my Peltor 500, and so they are at least as quiet if not a little more. They also seal around on my eyeglass earpiece ( temple) better. It’s an amazing upgrade for the price and anybody who does a significant amount of shooting I can’t imagine these not being worth the extra cost. There’s a number of valid criticisms to the 3M branded jelly your pads and these things seem to have fixed all the problems that those other ones have. They’re very soft but not as mushy. They don’t seem like they be durable but I hear that they actually are. I think because it’s a jelly glossy skin on the outside it looks fragile but it seems to be tougher than it looks and it certainly cleans up easier without the fear of ripping or tearing. The plastic backing is about the same size as the original 3M ear pads and that was another criticism for the 3M gel pads, that the hard plastic backing was thinner and more narrow. You can read about people having to spend a very long time trying to install the 3M ones and mingling their fingers as a result. These took me about 15 to 20 seconds on each year cup to put on. They snap right on and you get a very satisfying tactile click on to know that you’ve put them on correctly. I think one of the keys is to push on the inside of the gel pad around the entire circumference and then press around the outside. Do not press directly on top of the pad as they are quite squishy. The product comes with a very basic instruction card that is all that useless, The main purpose which seems to be is warning you not to peel the gel pad off of the plastic rim. But you should be able to figure it out and if you can’t there’s probably a video online. Final note I particularly like the concentric double ring design which seems to help ensure a better seal. And while these look like they would be a lot warmer than the regular plastic pads, it was 88° today when I was trying them for the first time and these felt a lot cooler. I think the gel does a much better job staying cold than some fiber surrounded by faux leather plastic.

This review is for PROHEAR Gel Ear Pads Compatible with Peltor Sport RangeGuard TAC100 300 500 Earmuffs, Comfortable Replacement Gel Ear Cups. I purchased these gel replacement ear pads to upgrade my 3M Peltor Sport Tactical 500 headphones. The stock pads weren't bad, but I own a different set of headphones that came with PROHEAR gel ear pads on them, and they were the most comfortable ear pads I have worn. So, I decided to purchase a pair for my Peltor 500. These PROHEAR Gel Ear Pads were an immediate upgrade over my stock Peltor 500 ear pads. As soon as I wore them, it was immediately noticeable that there was increased noise reduction. The seal is noticeably improved with these gel pads as you can really feel the air being sealed around your ears. The double-hump sealing design definitely seems to work, as these are also better at noise reduction with glasses on over the stock ear pads. These gels pads are also more comfortable and more conforming to the contours of your head. Each of these gel pads is about 1mm thicker than the stock Peltor 500 pads. These gel pads also use a very quality 3M adhesive. Installation: I went with the replacement gel pads that don't come with the plastic base. These were just the gel pads with the adhesive backing. I did not need any tools to remove the original pads. I pinched and grabbed the bottom of the original pad and angled the bottom of the pad away from its plastic base. Eventually I was able to get the adhesive to start to separate from the base. As I held it away, I slowly started to get my finger between the pad and base. I slowly continued to separate one side at a time until I got all the way the circle. I found that going slow while working a finger between the pad and the base reduced how much of the adhesive stayed on the plastic base. A not about the stock adhesive, it is a high-end adhesive. It is very strong, and I found out that Goo-Gone doesn't exactly break it down. The first ear pad base took me about 20 minutes of using Goo-Gone and rubbing alcohol to remove all of the remaining adhesive. I was better at removing the second ear pad, and I wound up with very little adhesive residue on the plastic base. This time to remove the remaining adhesive, I rolled my finger over the adhesive so that it would peel away. I was able to get almost all off it off with way. The tiny bit that remained I used Goo-Gone and rubbing alcohol to clear away. I then did a dry fit to lineup the new gel pad (so I left the adhesive cover on). Once I was comfortable with how I was going to line it up for installation, I removed the backing, and lined up the gel pad. At first, I didn't get it lined up perfectly, so I gently lifted the pad back off, lined it back up again, got it right, then I applied pressure all the way around to get a good adhesive seal. When you are lining up the pad, as long as you don't apply pressure the adhesive won't stick or will just ever so slightly stick in a couple of spots, so it is easy to remove it at this point. I had the best of lining up the gel pad to the base by using my index and middle finger pushed up to the top and bottom inside edge of the plastic base. When you do have the gel pad fully seated the way you want it, then spend about a minute or two pressing the pad down to the base. I went around the entire pad a few times with good pressure making sure that adhesive got a good seal. Then I wore the headset for about 20-30 minutes to keep that pressure applied to the pads. If you do this, just be sure that you don't slide the pads down your head, and instead of them pulled away from your head and bring the pads straight down around your ears. This way you don't risk shifting the pads while the adhesive is bonding. Altogether, I spent about an hour (including the 20-30 minutes of wearing the headset) removing the old pads, removing the old adhesive, and installing the new gel pads. If you don't want to spend that much, or any time on installing the gel pads, there is an option to purchase these PROHEAR gel pads with a plastic base for a little bit more money. To install that version, you just pull off the original plastic base that the stock pad is attached to and then snap in the new one that comes with the plastic base. Also, the gel pads I purchased came with replacement felts to replace the original felts. I didn't use them, only because my stock felts were still perfectly clean. However, it is nice that they are included.

I have not had time to stress test them yet so i am just going to say that they fit my WorkTunes Connect earmuffs and they feel good.

Die Polster passen genau auf den Worktunes Bluetooth mit Radio. Es sind nicht wie in der Beschreibung erwähnt mehrere Adapter dabei für 3M Kopfhörer, also war es eine Glücksspiel das es passt. Die Polster sind angenehm zu tragen und halten sehr gut den Lärm draußen ich würde sogar sagen besser wie die originalen. Ich trage den Kopfhörer bei der Arbeit jeden Tag ca 8 Stunden und bin gespannt wie lange die Polster durchhalten, die originalen Polster haben 4 Jahre gehalten. Für 40 Euro erwarte ich das die mindestens auch so lange halten.

Fit awesome work awesome night and day vs the stock foam cups. MUST HAVE for comfort.

Passt perfect auf den 3M Peltor SportTac (deutsche Version). Sehr bequem, super Qualität

We settled for these replacement pads because we couldn't find anything specific for our PROHEAR 037 Bluetooth 6.0 Hearing Protection Headphone and their original pads were awful! I searched and searched for replacement pads. These ones had to adhered with the double-sided adhesive they came with. They are slightly larger but just slightly. We cleaned the surface well and adhered and left the headphones set for 48hrs before using them. My husband is so happy with them! They are so comfortable!! Very much worth it! Will get again when these ones wear out!!
