Make your headset feel like new again

A stretched or fraying headband no longer provides support and sags over your head. With this replacement headphone headband, your SteelSeries Arctis 3 or Arctis 5 will feel snug and comfortable again.

Perfect fit for the SteelSeries Arctis 3 and Arctis 5

Specifically made for the SteelSeries Arctis 3 and Arctis 5. This is the elastic band (ski goggle band) that hangs under the steel frame; it follows the exact shape of the frame and distributes the weight of the headset.

Please note: this headband does not fit other Arctis models, such as the Arctis 1, Arctis Prime, Arctis 7 / 7+ / 7P / 7X, Arctis 9 / 9X, Arctis Pro and the Arctis Nova series.

Comfort you can feel immediately

The stretchy fabric adjusts to your head and distributes pressure over a large surface area. This ensures your headset stays comfortable even after hours of gaming, without pressure points on top of your head.

Built to last

Durable, stretchy fabric with finished edges. It breathes well and maintains its shape for a long time.

Replace without tools

Open the Velcro, remove the old band from the metal ring, thread the new band through with the Velcro facing inwards, and stick it closed. No tools required — your headphone headband will be like new again.

After using my headphones with a lot of love for years, these pads have made them like new again. The noise cancelling had significantly deteriorated due to the worn-out pads, but now it's back to how it should be.

Easy to install and great value for money. I had forgotten how noise-cancelling the headphones were supposed to be until I installed these new pads.

Ordered a second set after 4 years. The quality stayed good for a long time, a great product for this price compared to the original pads, which also wore out much faster.

Perfect product, easy to attach, and feels like the same quality as the original. Indistinguishable from the originals.

PREMIUM REPLACEMENT

Comfort that lasts for hours. Sound as it should be.

Our replacement ear pads use high-density memory foam: it dampens ambient noise and keeps the sound of your headphones true to the original. This way, you can listen comfortably for hours without hot or tired ears.

Perfect seal

Keeps noise out for uninterrupted listening pleasure.

Soft as down

Memory foam contours to your head, every single day.

Stay fresh

Breathable material, no more hot or sweaty ears.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if these ear pads fit my headphones? +

This set is specifically made for the models listed in the title and compatibility section, and clicks onto the same mounting as your original pads, guaranteed fit. Not sure if your model is included? Send us a message, we'll help you right away.

Are the replacement ear pads easy to install? +

Yes. Gently unclip your old ear pads and press the new ones onto the same ring. No tools required and finished in about 5 minutes. A brief explanation is included.

What materials are used in the memory foam ear pads? +

The pads have a soft memory foam core with a finish in wear-resistant PU leather or breathable mesh (you choose when ordering). The memory foam contours to your head for even pressure.

How do I clean and maintain my new ear pads? +

Wipe the pads with a slightly damp cloth and let them air dry, no aggressive cleaning agents. Regular wiping significantly extends their lifespan.

Do thicker ear pads change the sound profile? +

Our pads actually restore the original seal, bringing back bass and noise-cancelling as intended. They are matched to the original thickness, so the sound remains faithful to your headphones.

What is your return policy if they don't fit? +

Don't they fit or are you not satisfied? You have 30 days to return them unused. Send us a message and we'll arrange an exchange or refund.
