WC PadZ QC45 - Earpads for Bose QuietComfort 45 / QuietComfort Se/QuietComfort Wireless, Made by Wicked Cushions | Extra Thick Cushion | Premium Durable Stitching | White Smoke

These earpads are comfortable and feel much thicker than the originals. The stitching looks high quality and durable. They fit my Bose QC45 perfectly and really help improve comfort during long listening sessions. Easy to install and they make the headphones feel almost new again.

Easy replacement! Three year old headphones are more comfortable and look like new.

Very satisfied with these. Easy to install! Comfortable fit.

There are two things you can count on with every Bose headphones model: (1) excellent sound output and (2) the earpads ripping/peeling off sooner than later. I had a pair of NC700 where this happened about 1.5yrs after purchase. I just endured it for a while; but eventually searched and found the WC Wicked brand. Ordered & received a replacement pair of pads (I only needed to replace the right side); scanned the QR code from the enclosed documentation and watched the YouTube video the makers created showing how to perform the earpads replacement. Completed the "repair" pretty quickly after that. Was very satisfied with the quality of the product as well as the ease for replacement. The vid is great b/c they make one for each model instead of a single, generic one-for-all; they also take time to point out & compare the quality of material and workmanship of their earpads compared to Bose's - you can see when in your hands these earpads are made to endure. Used the NC700 regularly for another yr & occasionally the yr after that. I see no signs of wear on the earpad I put in! Upgraded to QC45 headphones about 1.5yrs ago. And, like clockwork, the right earpad's covering split/peeled away about a week ago. I didn't hesitate going back to WC Wicked. Took less than five minutes to swap this earpad - and most of that was spent watching the video as a refresher. My QC45 is ready to use once more. Cannot go wrong with this brand for earpad replacement - well-priced and well-made. The next time I upgrade my Bose headphones I'll probably order WC Wicked earpads to have on standby - or might swap them in right away b/c I'm confident they'll last.

The original OEM earpads are quite nice and they're comfortable to wear for hours on end. The issue is that they're glued together and so they fell apart at the seams after a year of use. WC is a cheaper alternative to OEM earpads (priced at $49!). In the box I got 2 replacement earpads, inline L/R covers, and a discount code for more WC product. Notice: No installation instructions, which I had to look up on google. Furthermore, these particular earpads require pushing the earpads into place under tiny plastic clips. There's no tool in the box to push the earpads under the tabs. So, how do they perform? Quality: 4/5? It's hard to say at this point. The OEM earpads are more comfortable for now, but I've broken them in for a year. The WC are stiffer, but they could soften over time. Additionally, I can see that the earpads are stitched at the seams. The seams are where the OEM fell apart. Comfort: 4/5 As mentioned above, they're stiffer and that detracts from comfort. They're also slightly smaller than OEM so if you have big ears like me, you're going to notice the pads touching your ears. Ease of installation: 3/5 Ease is mostly up to the original product. I've had twist off earpads before, those were extremely easy to replace. That being said, the lack of instructions in the box and the lack of a tool to install the replacements affected the score.

Grat quality. They fit well on my husbands Bose.

I recently received an item that I had ordered, and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by a few aspects of my experience. Firstly, the item arrived earlier than expected, which was a pleasant surprise, especially considering that it was being delivered to a PCS address. The packaging was well-done, with the product securely protected by bubble wrap between the inner and outer boxes. The installation process of the item was straightforward, and I found helpful guidance on YouTube that made it even easier. The material used in the construction of the item is of good quality and feels durable. Unlike the original product, this one doesn't give the impression that the material will flake off anytime soon, which is definitely a positive aspect. However, one drawback I noticed was that the item tends to get quite hot after wearing it for an extended period. This could be uncomfortable, especially in warmer weather or extended use. It would have been preferable if the item had better heat dissipation properties to ensure prolonged comfort. Overall, I am pleased with the timely delivery, excellent packaging, easy installation process, and durable material of the item. While it does have a tendency to get hot with prolonged use, it still serves its purpose effectively.

The cushions are well padded and made of decent PU material, which lasts a few years. However, they weren’t the same exact material and didn’t have same profile as the Bose cushions. The Bose are flat where they touch the ears, while these have a round shape. It might not matter much overall, but I wasn’t impressed. Their cushions are decent for other headphones, but not for Bose, especially when noise cancelation is just as much about the seal over the ear as it is the technology.
