Yeah, the stock pads hurt my ears. I ended up swapping to these after the stock pads started cracking.

The problem with larger and comfortable pads is the changed sound. These pads for example tends to accentuate treble compared to the original and I had to apply a filter with EqualizerAPO to compensate.
I use some 3rd party cushions, that are a little bigger.

I'm going to try the leather cushions as well, now they're in stock in EU again.
My own thoughts on turning down the 900hz a bit, is because I think it gets a cleaner sound with less mid-sound.
I got these, and it's very easy to change them out. It takes a few tries to get the pads installed. It's kinda like putting on a fitted bedsheet by yourself if you know what I mean, putting it on somewhere makes it fall off somewhere else
I don't know what would make you better but here is a list of things I personally use/like.
1-3 is normally company provided but if they allow it I normally try and throw in everything but the fidget cube.
I normally bring my own keyboard and mouse since being left handed can kinda suck and most places balk at an 80$ mouse.
Headphone wise I personally use ATH-M50XBT but I do replace the pads with some from wicked cushions amazon

Just hit this point on my m50x's, can not recommend these replacements enough. Even more comfortable than the original ear-cups.
I used these. They fit well. One thing to consider is that because the ear cushions have more padding and extend further out, then the headband will extend further to compensate when it's on your head. So if you have a larger head it might cause the band to be tighter. For me, my head wasn't the problem it was my ears, so keep that in mind if you have both a larger head and ears.

I put some wicked cushions m50x pads on my arctis headset a while back. 10,000 times more comfy. I needed bigger earcups since the arctis is really small and the stock ones pinched the bottom of my ear. I had the hybrid and the pleather ones and they both sounded really similar with the all pleather having a touch more bass and isolation. Neither had a negative effect in the uppers or overall sound. I ended up keeping the hybrid ones mainly because they looked better with the nylon ski band lol. Id think the pleather would look better with the m50 headband. Both are great options!! Oh yeah another option are these ones called krone! They have cooling gel and feel soooooo amazing. Best of the bunch feelwise for sure!! they are like dr scholls gel insoles and cold to the touch. They are smaller around than the wicked cushion but still nice and deep. They upped the bass and isolation more on the arctis than the wicked cushions but that may be more like the ones on the m50x stock. Maybe check some reviews and see what others say about using them with the m50x! Hope this helps and if you have any questions feel free!!

By the way, why did you choose that particular brand over, say, these?

I have bought these both of these for my Arctis 9x and I can recommend both are more comfortable than the stock ear pads.

I prefer the pu leather over the velour because they keep better sound isolation from background noise and I feel they are cooler than the velour.

The Brainwavz are not as cushiony as the Wicked Cushions but they still more comfortable than stock. These cushions are really cool and probably my favorite out of all the ear pads I’ve tried. And I’ve tried all 3 types of the Steelseries ear pads.
Update on this in case anyone finds this thread later. Getting replacement pads for the ATH-M50x was a great idea. I ended up getting these on Amazon for $22. Huge difference with the new pads...way more comfortable and better isolation.
I also ordered a pair of AIAIAI cans, arriving in a few days. I'll report back on those too.
i got the wicked customs replacements off amazon and they've held up great for it being almost a year since i bought them
>My only complaint so far is that the ear pads are quite small, and for long periods of time can get uncomfortable.
Yep, they're terrible. I stretched them out from the inside a bit and put them back on and it helped some, though they really could be just a bit larger.
>I have been looking at replacement ear pads and they're around $20
Which ones? I looked for hours last month for a replacement with slightly larger cups. The 4.40 has a stupidly weird earpad size that no one seems to make a replacement for, besides a stock replacement. This includes all of the brainwavz line of pads, they don't fit.
I purchased these from wicked cushions last month and it's a straight up lie that they fit a 4.40. Technically they'll pop on, but the pads are just way too big.
Any replacement pad that says it fits both the 4.40 and 4.50 is lying, the 4.50 has normal, larger sized pads.
Edit: Was looking at some reviews and one did mention that
"The momentum 2.0 ear pads fit the 4.40". I'm going to look into that. Edit: Nope don't believe it, the pads are just as large as my replacement was, too big.Yes. I've got the Wicked Cushions on mine from Amazon and they're incredible.

I went with the Brainwavez angled/leather/memory foam. Leaps and bounds better than what SteelSeries offers in terms of replacements or “upgrade.” Wore them for multiple hours before with my SS Pros and love them. No ear heat, sweat, pain or anything of that nature. Ears and side of my head felt just the same as when I put them on.
No experience with these but great reviews. Check out the review photos. https://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Replacement-Pads-Audio-Technica/dp/B075M4TRWR

While I wouldn't say they sound stock, imo they sound better. More clarity. If you want stock sound don't buy these, but I think that these sound better and are way more comfortable.

I have a similar issue with headsets. I have been using Audio Technica. I had the $50 set but recently got the $150 pair and it was a nice upgrade in material. The difference between these and the Turtle Beaches I used to have is night and day. The earpads fit fully around my areas and doesn't squish them. I would be able to wear my old headset for a couple hours before my ears would start to hurt. I have never experienced this kind of pain with my audio technicas. You will need an external mic though in which case I also recommend the snowball as a starter.
Edit: Also found these upgraded ear pads that have good reviews.
