Replacing the ear pads on your headphones should be simple, but the choice gets tricky when you want more comfort than the stock cushions provide. Do you need cooling gel, memory foam, or just a fresh pair? The CentralSound Coolers XL Cooling Gel and Memory Foam Oval Ear Pad Cushions aim to answer that question with a USD 21.99 price tag.
Quick verdict
If you are looking for replacement pads that focus on keeping your ears comfortable during long sessions, the Coolers XL are worth a close look. This pair from CentralSound brings a cooling-focused design to headsets from Sony, Audio-Technica, Razer, SteelSeries, HyperX, and Turtle Beach, along with a black finish that suits many over-ear headphones and gaming headsets.
Who it suits
The Coolers XL are especially useful for people who notice their ears getting hot while gaming or listening for hours. They also make sense if your original pads have flattened out and you want a fresh layer of cushioning that feels soft but stays cool.
What stands out from the listed details
The main standout is the cooling system. Each cushion pairs a cooling gel layer with memory foam, uses a breathable ice cloth on the surface that touches your ear, and includes vent holes to encourage airflow. The outer layer is protein leather, which gives the cushions a smooth, durable surface. CentralSound sells these cushions in black, and the compatibility list covers several popular headset brands.
Meaningful trade-offs
Because the Coolers XL are oval pads, they are a fit for headsets with oval ear cups. If your headset has round or unusually shaped openings, these will not be the right match. The package contains one pair in black, so it is designed as a direct replacement rather than a multi-pack.
Bottom line
With a focus on cooling and a compatibility list that includes many gaming headsets, the CentralSound Coolers XL are a straightforward pick for a comfort-focused ear pad replacement. If you want a breathable upgrade for long listening sessions, this pair is worth trying.

The listed price of USD 21.99 makes these a practical option if you want the cooling gel, memory foam, and ice cloth combination in a single pair. The reason to choose them is the layered cooling design that targets the sweaty-ear problem directly. The limitation is the oval shape, so you will need a headset with oval ear cups rather than round ones.
