If you want a replacement earpad set that fits the widest spread of SteelSeries Arctis headsets and comes with a long warranty, choose Sodorous Arctis 7; if you need fresh cushions for a JBL Tune 600 BT NC and prefer a leather-style cover, choose Miruchertter Tune 600.
• Sodorous Arctis 7 — biggest strength: one pad set that covers a long list of Arctis models (1, 3, 5, 7, 9X, Pro, Prime and more), so it fits a lot of headsets in the SteelSeries family.
• Sodorous Arctis 7 — biggest trade-off: it is a fabric/cotton cover, so if you specifically want a leather feel against your ears, this is not that.
• Miruchertter Tune 600 — biggest strength: it is built for one job — the JBL Tune 600 BT NC / T600 — and uses a memory foam and leather combination.
• Miruchertter Tune 600 — biggest trade-off: it fits that JBL model only. If you own anything else, this set is useless to you.
• Who each pick is for: Sodorous Arctis 7 for SteelSeries Arctis owners who want breathable fabric pads and a broad compatibility net; Miruchertter Tune 600 for JBL Tune 600 BT NC owners who want a leather-type cover.
The Sodorous Arctis 7 replacement pads are the practical answer for anyone whose SteelSeries Arctis cushions have gone flat, cracked or started flaking. What makes this set interesting is how wide the compatibility list is. It is listed as fitting the Arctis 1, Arctis 3, Arctis 5, Arctis 7, Arctis 9X, Arctis Pro and Arctis Prime. That matters because the Arctis line is huge, and a lot of people own a pair of Arctis 3s or an older Arctis 7 that still works perfectly except for the pads. If you have been putting off replacing them because you were not sure which set matched your model, this set is designed to cover that whole spread.
The materials are the other half of the story. These pads use high-density memory foam wrapped in a soft fabric cover, with the enclosure listed as memory foam and cotton. In my opinion, that combination is the right call for long sessions. Fabric breathes, so your ears are less likely to get that hot, clammy feeling that pleather covers can produce after an hour or two. The memory foam is described as durable and flexible, and it is meant to spring back to its original shape when you take the headset off, which is what keeps the seal consistent over time. The design also aims to block outside noise and retain the original sound of your headphone rather than changing it.
Who should buy it: anyone with one of the listed SteelSeries Arctis headsets whose pads are worn out, and anyone who prefers fabric over leather against their skin. Sodorous also backs the pads with a longer coverage window than you might expect from a small accessory — the listing mentions a 24-month worry-free warranty and free lifetime technical support, with a 1-year warranty description in the item details, plus continued development of the pad line. Installation is described as easy and hassle-free, which is what you want from a swap you do at the kitchen table.
Who should skip it: if you own a JBL headset, or any brand outside the Arctis family, this set is not for you. And if you specifically want the feel of leather against your ears, look elsewhere. One more thing worth knowing — this is a cushion-only product. Your headphone is not included, and neither is anything beyond the replacement pads themselves.
The Miruchertter Tune 600 is a single-purpose product, and that is not a knock. It exists to refresh the earpads on one specific headphone: the JBL Tune 600 BT NC, also referred to as the Tune 600 BT NC or T600. If that is your headset, the fit question basically disappears, because the pads are shaped and sized for that model rather than for a family of them.
The material here is different from the Sodorous set. Miruchertter uses high-density memory foam with a leather enclosure, which gives these pads a smoother, more sealed feel than a fabric cover. In my opinion, that is a genuine advantage for a noise-cancelling headphone like the Tune 600 BT NC. The whole point of that headphone is to shut out your surroundings, and a leather-type pad tends to press more evenly against the head and hold a tighter seal around the ear, which is exactly what passive isolation needs in order to work alongside the active noise cancelling. If you wear the Tune 600 on a commute or in a shared office, that seal is doing real work for you.
The trade-off with leather-style covers is warmth. Over a long listening session, a sealed leather pad can get warmer than a breathable fabric one. That is not a defect — it is the cost of the better seal. If you run hot or you wear your headset for four-hour stretches, keep that in mind. The other thing to note is the physical spec: the set weighs about 60 grams, so it is light enough that it will not noticeably change how the headset feels on your head.
Who should buy it: JBL Tune 600 BT NC owners whose original pads have flattened, cracked or started to peel, and anyone who wants to keep the sealed, noise-blocking character of that headphone intact. Who should skip it: everyone else. If your headset is not a Tune 600, this set will not help you, no matter how good the materials are. As with the Sodorous pads, this is a cushion-only purchase — you are buying the pads, not a headphone.
• Best for SteelSeries Arctis owners → Sodorous Arctis 7. It is explicitly listed as compatible with Arctis 1, 3, 5, 7, 9X, Pro and Prime.

• Best for breathable comfort in warm rooms → Sodorous Arctis 7, thanks to its fabric and cotton cover.
• Best for a tighter, more isolating seal → Miruchertter Tune 600, because of its leather enclosure and memory foam core.
• Best for people who swap headsets often → Sodorous Arctis 7. The wide compatibility list means it stays useful across more than one Arctis model.
• Best for a single-headphone household → Miruchertter Tune 600. If the Tune 600 is your one and only, the dedicated fit is exactly what you want.
• Best for warranty reassurance → Sodorous Arctis 7, which mentions a 24-month worry-free warranty and free lifetime technical support alongside a 1-year warranty description.
• Best for low weight on the head → Miruchertter Tune 600, listed at 60 grams for the set.
If I had to pick one, I would buy the Sodorous Arctis 7 — but only because I happen to think the Arctis family is where most people shopping for replacement pads will land. The compatibility list is unusually broad, the fabric cover is the more comfortable choice for marathon sessions, and the warranty language gives me more confidence than I would expect from a small accessory. That said, my recommendation flips entirely if you own a JBL Tune 600 BT NC. In that case I would take the Miruchertter Tune 600 without hesitation, because a pad made for your exact headphone beats a pad that fits a family of someone else's. Match the pad to the headset you actually own, then check the current price on Amazon before you commit.
FAQ
It is listed as compatible with the Arctis 1, Arctis 3, Arctis 5, Arctis 7, Arctis 9X, Arctis Pro and Arctis Prime. If your model is on that list, it should fit. If your headset is a different brand, it will not.
No. It is made for the Tune 600 BT NC / T600. It is a dedicated replacement, not a universal pad, so it is not the right buy for other JBL models or other brands.
The Miruchertter Tune 600 uses a leather enclosure, which tends to give a tighter seal and stronger passive isolation — a good match for a noise-cancelling headphone. The Sodorous Arctis 7 relies on memory foam and fabric, which is more breathable but generally seals less tightly.
No. Both are replacement ear cushion sets only. You are buying the pads; the headphone is not included in either purchase.
