I own the 3M peltor sport tactical 500, the pads that came with it was stiff and uncomfortable. After reading reviews and YouTube, I decided to get these. And OMG you can feel the difference. It is so comfortable and I think it may actually improved the sound a little bit. But overall, if you do prolonged shooting or any other tasks dealing with loudnoises. I recommend these pads for upgrad!

Good replacement for Peltor Rangegaurd headphones. Soft and comfortable. Different look then originals. Perfect fit.

These are super comfortable, worked with the safety yellow peltor headset. We use headset at work and I had an issue with the foam popping out on hot days and pinching my ears. The gel are comfortable and seal better. The price is spot on. They are ez to install and definitely pop into place.

Easy to attach and replace the worn out original cups. Honestly you cannot beat the price and quality for what they are. They are just a notch below the gel cups I have on my Comtac V.

I bought these gel ear pads because, even though the originals were OK, I tried using them along with some wireless earphones and they would make my ears hurt after a while becuase of the pressure on my ears and my ears are not large. These new gel pads are softer and much more comfortable and seem to deaden sound just as well. I haven't compared enough to tell if they do better or not. They do have a little wider opening and that helped a lot. There is only one thing that could be improved (this is why I took off one star rating)... the original pads snap on much tighter than these gel pads, which can be removed much easier. You can see from my photos that the original ones with the lighter plastic part have a larger edge that clips onto the units tighter. Other than that, I like the new gel pads better than the originals. I can now wear them for much longer periods with no pain!

And half the price and better quality than the 3M brand replacement gels these things are a no brainer.They’re easy to put on and extremely comfortable. The gel seems to create a better seal than the stock pads for my Peltor 500, and so they are at least as quiet if not a little more. They also seal around on my eyeglass earpiece ( temple) better.It’s an amazing upgrade for the price and anybody who does a significant amount of shooting I can’t imagine these not being worth the extra cost.There’s a number of valid criticisms to the 3M branded jelly your pads and these things seem to have fixed all the problems that those other ones have. They’re very soft but not as mushy. They don’t seem like they be durable but I hear that they actually are. I think because it’s a jelly glossy skin on the outside it looks fragile but it seems to be tougher than it looks and it certainly cleans up easier without the fear of ripping or tearing.The plastic backing is about the same size as the original 3M ear pads and that was another criticism for the 3M gel pads, that the hard plastic backing was thinner and more narrow.You can read about people having to spend a very long time trying to install the 3M ones and mingling their fingers as a result. These took me about 15 to 20 seconds on each year cup to put on. They snap right on and you get a very satisfying tactile click on to know that you’ve put them on correctly. I think one of the keys is to push on the inside of the gel pad around the entire circumference and then press around the outside. Do not press directly on top of the pad as they are quite squishy.The product comes with a very basic instruction card that is all that useless, The main purpose which seems to be is warning you not to peel the gel pad off of the plastic rim. But you should be able to figure it out and if you can’t there’s probably a video online.Final note I particularly like the concentric double ring design which seems to help ensure a better seal. And while these look like they would be a lot warmer than the regular plastic pads, it was 88° today when I was trying them for the first time and these felt a lot cooler. I think the gel does a much better job staying cold than some fiber surrounded by faux leather plastic.

I put the gel ear pads on my prohear 037 headset. Now my headset is the most comfortable ear protection I have ever had. Love them.

Worked as they should

Need to be thicker because my big ears lol but is a great product

Product was great. However, shipping was slower than expected.

It seems that the seal these form around the ears really help tone down the outside noise. Comfort is phenomenal ✨️

Definitively an upgrade on what comes with 3M Peltor Black Model X5A. I wear headphones all day, Iso tunes blue tooth earplugs underneath ear muffs for maximum hearing protection and so I can still hear my podcasts if I'm running equipment or grinding metal or whatnot. I was using a pair of 3M Pro-Protect over them but lost them for a day and had to wear some uncomfy muffs over. Since I rarely use the bluetooth function of those I decided to pickup the peltors as a backup but noticed it didn't have the comfy gel pad. So I grabbed these and am happy with the comfort wearing 8 hours plus. Just as comfy as my Pro-protects that came with the gel pads.

Greatly improves the comfort and effectiveness of my Peltor muffs at a significantly lower cost than name brand.

Works well with Peltor Shotgunner ear pro. Comfortable and gives a little extra room inside for AirPods on these slim cups.

Easy to install. More comfortable than the stock foam cups. But does not reduce the DBs.

Best buy Ive seen in a while, tops all of Aircraft Spruces prices and quality, quality is as good as 3m gels

Kind of a bear to get them on my Peltor Tactical 100, but once they're on, they aren't going to just pop off. The tight fit helps ensure that. Hopefully they last longer than the original thin material that just cracked while sitting in my range bag unused.

The official 3M Camelback gel ear cushions are comfortable enough for all-day use, especially if you put a handkerchief or bandanna on your head, underneath. These are a little too hard, leading to pressure and some fatigue, after a couple hours.They do achieve a good seal, even with glasses. Due to the hardness, I think the seal with glasses might not be as good as the official gel ear pads.I would recommend these for anyone who just needs to use them for a couple hours at a time. For all-day use, the official ear pads are worth the extra money and will last for at least a couple years, if your treat them well.

These should come installed, they’re such an improvement over the standard ones. Tape is very sticky, so lining them up perfect is a challenge, but they don’t have to be perfect to still fit safely. Comfort is drastically better and noise protection feels improved, though I have no way to confirm that.

These gel ear pads are a game changer. I have Prohear 037 noise canceling ear muffs. After wearing the earmuffs for an hour or two the pads become uncomfortable especially when I wear my Oakley Flak Jacket sunglasses. I bought theses gel pads and what a difference in comfort. The gel pads were difficult to install and I would have gladly paid more if it was an option when I bought the ear muffs. It can be frustrating to install the gel pads, but don’t give up you can do it.

These gel pads were the perfect upgrade for my older Peltor Tactical hearing protection. I was amazed at how much more comfortable these are over the original. I used them on a 95 degree day and had no issues with wear or function. The pads were easy to install and the lip on the mounting plate ensures they remain secured to your headset.

its the perfect ear pads i ever bought! i had doubts since there are many that doesn't hurt your ears for a long period of time and you know what? i was super shocked finding out that it was super soft on my ears and i never felt more comfortable having them. way better than the default 3m headset that i got not too long ago. having these gel pads does make a difference when i put my headset on. i think its worth the weight in gold to spend a little extra for once just to get the job done and not worry if its going to work or not.

Up sides are these fit Peltor Comtac V and are very comfy, even with glasses.Downsides are that my ears get sweaty, and the black plastic material that holds the gel is more fragile than I would have expected. My headset got knocked off my head and fell on gravel, and while the headset was undamaged, one gel cup tore open to where the gel filling was coming out. I'm going to try the more expensive Peltor-brand gel cups to see if they're sturdier.

TL;DR - Gel Pads > Foam Pads+ Cool and Comfortable+ Increased Durability ( skin/cover material doesn't chip off )+ Easy To Clean+ Better Seal~ Thicker Padding (may add more pressure, YMMV)For a bit of background on my use of the product, let me preface that I am an autist who wears a headset just about everywhere in order to cope with my surroundings. As such, you can imagine how many countless hours I've worn these pads.I bought my first pair of WorkTunes in April of 2021. After just 8 months of prolonged usage, the skin on stock foam pads had already started to chip away. It didn't help that the grippy texture on the already brittle material made them difficult to wipe down without further wearing out the pads. Not a year after I had bought them they had practically disintegrated. That's when I bought my replacement pair.I bought a pair of these gel pads last year (February 2022), and let me just say that they have vastly outperformed the stock foam pads in every aspect. The silicone gel pads are cool and comfortable every time I put them on. The material also seemed to create a better seal as well, so there is next to zero sound leakage even at full volume. Additionally, the polyurethane skin is much easier to wipe down than the foam pads, which was a major pain point for me with the foam pads.Next, I want to compliment how well they held up over time. After two years of constant usage, the gel has flattened outward a bit, but has mostly kept it's original shape. The main issue is that the inner lining where the skin adheres to the adapter plate has begun to separate, and the silicone gel is becoming exposed the on the inside. In spite of that, the noise suppression has not been affected, and I am still able to wear them without issue for the moment. However, I'm sure it won't be too long before they start coming loose from the inside, so I'm taking that as a sign that it's time to switch into a new pair of pads.Lastly, some people in the past have complained about difficulty snapping them into place. Admittedly, doing it for the first time can be a little tricky, but it's not an issue once you've done it a time or two. The trick is to apply pressure evenly so that the plate doesn't accidentally pop loose in any of the corners. I've personally taken them off several times for cleaning, so I can confidently say that it's just a matter of practice. I haven't had any instances of them coming loose on their own either, so you can rest easy once you've got it properly attached.So that's my review of the product. If you are looking for a durable replacement part, or just a more cool/comfortable fit, then I would say this is definitely a solid choice. Just keep head size in mind when you're putting that extra padding on. The gel pads are marginally thicker than their foam counterpart, so there may be slightly more pressure as a result. That said, I'm off to buy a new pair for myself. Hope this was informative for anyone considering to buy the product themselves.
