Perfect fit. Comfortable.
I bought these to replace the pads on one of my headsets that basically degraded over time. I wasnât really sure how they would work, but it was a cheaper option than a new headset. They went on with a little bit of effort, fit correctly, and are very comfortable. Grateful I found these.

Perfect for 3M Peltor headphones, incredibly comfortable. Highly recommended for ADHD-ers.
I am sensitive to noise when I’m trying to concentrate, so I need to wear ear muffs for long periods (on top of earplugs, no less), plus I wear glasses. Even without glasses, standard ear muffs cause pain within a short time. I bought these gel replacements as an experiment for my Peltor ear muffs. They worked out so well that I immediately bought a second pair, and I am about to order a third because my son has the same noise sensitivity. He noticed the difference with these immediately.For the X4A (pictured), you can snap out one base (black), which reveals a second base (white). For my other pair (bulkier, maybe Optime or X2, not sure), I cut the old foam and thin plastic base. I carefully cut the flap from the Kore seals, but you don’t have to. Then, superglue the gel seals to the base, and you are done.These gel seals are way more comfortable than the standard foam ones, they block out more noise, and you can buy three pairs of these for the cost of a 3M pair. Highly recommended. Also, the seller was pro-active, which was great when my first order was returned because of a rain storm.

Good ear cups, but know how you will be using your headset before buying
I have two 10 year SoftComm headsets that I normally use for passengers that need a headset. On one of those, the ear cups finally gave and needed replaced. I chose these to replace them based partly on the many reviews about how hard they are to put on, figuring that if they were hard to put on, they would not just pop off. I did find it a slight challenge to put them on, it took about 5 minutes to install both sides.I wore this old headset with the new ear cups for a 2 and half hour flight after forgetting to put my nice, comfortable, Lightspeed headset in my flight bag. Here are my pros and cons for these cups based on the experience from that flight:Pros:* Quality very good quality for the price point.* These fit my heatset great, once I figured out the trick to getting them installed* While the SoftComms can sometimes feel like a vice, the gel cups seemed to help reduce the pressure (to a point). I found these to be more comfortable than the original ear cups.Cons:* Noise reduction was not as good with these as the original “pleather” ear cups.* In a hot airplane, the sweaty, slimy feeling of the smooth plastic shell builds over time. It can be kinda gross, actually. But at least you can clean them with a wipe down between uses.Before deciding to buy a set of replacement ear cups, consider how you are using your headset before making a choice. How often will the headset be used? How long will you wear it for each use? What is the weather predominantly like when you fly? These are all questions to ask, because in the end, the goal is to get the proper balance of noise reduction and comfort. These did the job, and I think if I was still a student pilot, or only using the headset for an hour or so at a time, these ear cups would be a great choice. But in hot temperatures, and for longer flights, there may be better options. If you are already familiar will gel ear cups and like them, then you will probably like these, and I don’t think you will be dissappointed with the quality.Honestly, at the end of the 2 and half hour flight, I was ready to get the headset off my head, but I think much of that is due to my being spoiled by the light speeds. When the ear cups need replaced on my second SoftComm headset, I will probably replace those with leather ear cups instead of these, but that is not because these are bad ear cups, its because I think a leather ear cup it better suited to the way I use the headset.

Great gel pads
Needed to get a more comfortable set of ear muff pads for my rugged radio (H80) headsets. They were a little difficult to get on my headset but they are on and the comfort is outstanding. Very glad to have these!

Works great
I’d been using the pads that came with the head set, and after couple years they’re worn and uncomfortable. These are FAR smoother, very comfortable and frankly make the flying a lot easier. Great product.

Perfect replacement for old DC ear seals
I ordered 2 old pairs of DC H10-30s from ebay for about $90 each on ebay, and no surprise, the old foam ear seals were totally shot- the foam was entirely degraded so it felt like the rubber seals were empty inside. The whole point of getting secondhand DCs was to have cheap, but decent quality headsets for backseat passengers in the Cessna, so I didn’t want to drop the money on actual David Clark seals. These fit perfectly, feel comfortable, and do a great job at blocking sound.

Definitivamente vale la pena, el gran cambio en la comodidad en el uso prolongado es increible. Los que trae de fabrica despues de 40 min de vuelo se vuelven algo incomodos. Estos estan increibles. Valen 100% la pena
