⭐ Why PC37X ear pads give up first
The Sennheiser PC37X is a headset people keep on for hours: ranked matches, long voice calls, streams, late-night sessions. All of that lands on one part. The ear pads (also called ear cushions or earpads) are squeezed against your head, warmed up and soaked with sweat and skin oil every single time. They are a wear part, so they flatten, harden and roughen up long before the drivers or the microphone fail.
Once the foam is spent, the headset presses harder, sits unevenly and feels hotter, and the fabric starts to look bald. A new pair of PC37X replacement ear pads fixes the problem at the source, and costs a fraction of a new gaming headset.
Looking for PC37X ear pads, PC37X ear cushions, Sennheiser PC37X earpads, PC37X velour replacement or gaming headset ear pads? This page covers them all.
🎧 Made for PC37X
Designed to replace the original ear pads on this headset.
🧵 Breathable velour
Lets heat and moisture escape, so ears stay cooler.
🧽 Soft foam padding
Spreads pressure and reduces ear fatigue.
🎮 Gaming-ready
Suited to voice chat, streaming and long FPS sessions.
🧸 Soft, natural contact
A velvety surface that doesn't stick to the skin.
🔧 Quick to fit
Remove, align, clip on. A few minutes.
📦 Matching pair
Left and right, identical on both sides.
♻️ Repair, don't replace
Keep a good headset in service.
📖 Ear pads, ear cushions, earpads: same thing?
Yes. Gamers search for the same part in many ways. For your PC37X, all of these mean the padded rings around your ears:
the most common term
same part, different word
one-word spelling

🧵 Velour vs leather-style ear pads
These Sennheiser PC37X velour ear pads combine breathable fabric with soft foam padding for a balance of comfort and durability. Unlike PU leather, velour reduces heat and moisture build-up, which is what makes it the usual pick for extended use.
🌬️ Airflow
Heat and moisture escape through the fabric.
🧸 Soft touch
A velvety surface that feels natural on the skin.
🛋️ Pressure relief
Soft foam spreads pressure around the ear.
🧹 Easy to brush
A soft brush keeps dust and hair off the surface.
| Criterion | 🧵 Velour (this pair) | 🛡️ PU leather |
|---|---|---|
| Heat | Stays cooler | Can feel warmer |
| Feel | Soft, velvety | Smooth, even |
| Cleaning | Brush or vacuum gently | Wipe with a damp cloth |
| Long sessions | Very comfortable | Comfortable, warmer |
🧽 What the foam padding does
An ear pad is made of the foam padding, the velour cover and the mounting edge that attaches to the ear cup. The foam handles four jobs at once.
🛋️ Cushions
It spreads pressure around your ears for long sessions.
🔒 Holds
It follows the shape of your ear and keeps the headset steady.
🎚️ Frames the sound
It sets the distance and air between the driver and your ear.
📐 Keeps its shape
It preserves the pad's profile day after day.
When the foam gives out, comfort, fit and consistency suffer together. If your original ear cushions feel compressed or uncomfortable, fresh velour pads can make a big difference to how the whole headset feels.
🩺 Signs your PC37X ear pads need replacing
📉 Flattened ear pads
The foam stays dented after you press it.
🪨 Hard or lumpy foam
Parts of the pad press on your ears.
🩹 Bald or frayed velour
The fabric wears thin or pills.
🥵 Hot, sweaty ears
The pads no longer breathe.
🧩 Foam crumbs
Bits fall onto your desk or keyboard.
😣 Ear fatigue
You pull the headset off sooner than before.
👃 Lingering smell
Sweat has soaked into the fabric and foam.
✅ Headset still works
Only the ear pads need replacing.
🧪 The 3-step ear pad check
- Press: push your thumb into a pad and release. If the dent stays, the foam is spent.
- Feel: run your fingers around the ring. Hard spots or lumps mean it has broken down.
- Look: check the velour and seams for bald patches or fraying.
📌 PC37X or PC38X? Pick the right ear pads
These ear pads are made for the Sennheiser PC37X. The PC38X is a closely related headset with its own ear pads, so check the name printed on your headband or ear cup before ordering.
| Your headset | Ear pads |

| Sennheiser PC37X | You are on this page ✅ |
| Sennheiser PC38X | Sennheiser PC38X velour ear pads |
How to find your model name
- Check the headband or the ear cups: "PC37X" is usually printed there.
- Look at the original box or manual.
- Check your invoice or order history.
🎮 Gaming, voice chat and streaming
A headset like the PC37X is worn longer and harder than everyday headphones. Ear pads that stay soft, cool and even mean you stop noticing the headset and stay focused on the game.
🔫 FPS sessions
Comfort that lasts through long ranked runs.
🗣️ Voice chat
Hours on Discord or in-game voice without hot, sore ears.
📡 Streaming
A neat headset on camera and comfort through long streams.
🎬 Movies and music
The same comfortable fit for everyday listening.
🔊 Fit and sound: what new ear pads can do
How a headset sounds depends on the drivers and also on the fit, thickness and material of the ear pads. New pads help keep the sound consistent by restoring an even fit and proper ear contact. Compared with worn pads, you get a steadier position on your head and a more comfortable listening experience.
Good to know
- Fresh foam restores an even, comfortable fit.
- Pad material and thickness can color the sound slightly, so small differences from your old pads are normal.
- Results vary with head shape, glasses and how you wear the headset.
- Ear pads are wear parts and do not change the drivers or the microphone.
👤 Who is it for?
🎮 PC and console gamers
Long sessions with cooler, softer ear pads.
🥵 Hot-ear players
Anyone whose ears overheat with leather-style pads.
🗣️ Voice-chat regulars

❓ FAQ: Sennheiser PC37X ear pads
Do these ear pads fit the Sennheiser PC37X?
Yes, they are designed specifically for the Sennheiser PC37X headset. Still, check the name on your headset before ordering.
Can I use them on a PC38X?
No. The PC38X has its own ear pads, linked in the table above. Always match your exact model.
Are they compatible with other Sennheiser models?
They are specifically designed for the PC37X. Other Sennheiser models, such as the HD 450BT, HD 380 PRO and HD 490 PRO, have their own pages linked at the bottom of this page.
Are ear pads, ear cushions and earpads the same thing?
Yes. They are different names for the same part: the padded rings around your ears. "Replacement cushions" and "headset pads" mean the same too.
Do velour ear pads improve comfort?
Yes. Velour is softer and more breathable than leather-style covers, which makes it a favorite for long gaming sessions.
Will my ears stay cooler?
Velour lets heat and moisture escape more easily than PU leather, so ears generally stay cooler. Results vary with room temperature and how long you play.
Velour or PU leather: which is better for gaming?
For long sessions, many players prefer velour for its airflow. PU leather is smoother and easier to wipe clean. This page is for velour ear pads.
Do new ear pads change the sound?
They help maintain consistent sound by improving fit and ear contact. Slight differences in material and thickness are possible, and the pads don't change the drivers or the microphone.
When should I replace my PC37X ear pads?
If they feel flat, hard, bald or uncomfortable, or if your ears get hot and sore, it's time to replace them.
What are they made of?
Breathable velour fabric over soft foam padding.
Are these original Sennheiser parts?
No. They are compatible replacement ear pads designed for the PC37X.
How do I replace PC37X ear pads?
Remove the old ear pads carefully, wipe the mounting area, align the new ones and clip or fit them securely. The guide above covers every step.
Do I need tools?
No. Installation takes only a few minutes.
Should I replace both ear pads?
Yes. Both sides wear at the same rate, and a matching pair keeps the fit balanced.
How do I know my ear pads are worn?
Flat pads, hard spots, foam crumbs, bald or frayed velour, hot ears or ear fatigue are the usual signs.
How do I clean velour ear pads?
Brush or vacuum gently and spot-clean stains with a barely damp cloth. Don't soak the velour and avoid solvents.
My headset still works. Is it worth changing the ear pads?
Yes, that is the ideal case. You keep a working headset and renew only the worn part, at a fraction of the cost of a new one.
How long do replacement ear pads last?
It depends on how long you play, how much you sweat and how you store and clean them. Regular cleaning helps preserve the foam.
Do new ear pads help with sweat and smell?
Yes. The smell usually sits in the old foam and fabric, so new ear pads and regular cleaning keep the headset fresher.
