Plantronics Ear Cushion Replacement – Official Comfort Accessories
Our official ear cushion replacement kit brings fresh comfort and hygiene back to your Plantronics headset. Designed to match the original cushions that came with your device, these replacements use the same premium materials and precise dimensions we build into every new headset. Whether daily wear has compressed your current cushions or you simply want a clean set for long call days, this kit includes everything needed for a quick swap.
We engineered these cushions with the same acoustic-grade foam and breathable leatherette found on factory models, so audio clarity and passive noise isolation remain consistent. Each cushion snaps into place without tools, restoring the secure on-ear seal that keeps sound crisp and ambient noise at bay.
- Premium acoustic-grade memory foam core for all-day comfort
- Breathable leatherette outer layer resists moisture and wear
- Universal mounting clips fit Voyager, BackBeat, and EncorePro series
- Easy snap-on installation – no adhesive or tools required
- Includes two cushions per kit for stereo headset models
Materials & Construction
Each plantronics ear cushion in this replacement kit features a dual-layer design: a high-density memory foam core that compresses gently around the contours of your ear, topped with a soft leatherette skin that breathes better than vinyl alternatives. We chose this combination because it mirrors the materials on our flagship headsets, ensuring the tactile experience and acoustic performance remain identical to a new device.
The foam core is die-cut to exact tolerances, so the cushion maintains the same depth and on-ear pressure as the originals. Leatherette perforations allow moisture vapor to escape during long calls, reducing the heat buildup that can occur with non-breathable materials. Both layers bond through ultrasonic welding rather than adhesive, eliminating the edge separation that appears in lower-grade replacements after a few months of use.
Compatibility & Fit
This universal replacement kit works across our most popular headset families: Voyager Focus, Voyager Legend, BackBeat PRO, BackBeat FIT, and EncorePro 500 series. Each cushion ships with an integrated mounting clip that matches the locking tab geometry on these models, so you simply align the notch and press until you hear a soft click.
For single-ear models like the Voyager Legend, one cushion covers your replacement needs; stereo over-ear headsets use both cushions in the kit. If you rotate between multiple headsets, the same cushions swap between compatible models without modification. We do not recommend forcing these cushions onto third-party headsets, as clip dimensions and acoustic chamber depth vary by manufacturer.
Installation & Care
Replacing Your Cushions
Grasp the existing cushion at its base and pull straight away from the ear cup – the internal clip will release with light pressure. Align the new cushion’s mounting tab with the slot on the speaker housing, then press firmly until the clip engages. The entire swap takes under thirty seconds per ear.
Daily Maintenance
Wipe the leatherette surface with a damp microfiber cloth after each use to remove oils and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and air-dry completely before reattaching. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners, which can dry out the leatherette and cause cracking over time. We recommend replacing cushions every six to twelve months depending on usage intensity – daily call-center wear warrants more frequent replacement than occasional home-office use.

Questions About Plantronics Ear Cushion Replacements
We recommend replacing cushions every six to twelve months depending on usage intensity. Daily call-center or office use compresses foam faster than occasional home-office calls. Visible flattening, cracking in the leatherette, or reduced audio clarity are all signs it’s time for fresh cushions.
No, the Voyager 5200 uses in-ear gel tips rather than over-ear cushions. This replacement kit is designed for over-ear and on-ear headsets like Voyager Focus, BackBeat PRO, and EncorePro series. Check your headset’s wearing style before ordering.
This kit includes standard-size cushions in black leatherette, matching the default finish on most Plantronics business headsets. We do not currently offer alternate sizes or color options for ear cushions, though some models have adjustable headband sizing to accommodate different head shapes.
No, machine washing will damage the foam core and adhesive bonds. Instead, wipe the leatherette surface with a damp microfiber cloth and mild soap solution, then air-dry completely. Avoid submerging the cushions or using harsh chemical cleaners.
Fresh cushions restore passive noise isolation by recreating the acoustic seal around your ear, which reduces ambient sound bleed. If your headset has active noise cancellation (ANC), new cushions help the ANC microphones work more effectively by blocking external noise mechanically. You’ll notice less background chatter and a fuller sound profile.
These are official Plantronics replacement cushions manufactured to the same specifications as the originals included with new headsets. We use identical foam density, leatherette thickness, and mounting-clip geometry to ensure perfect compatibility and performance.
Each kit contains two ear cushions with pre-attached mounting clips. For stereo over-ear headsets, both cushions are used; for single-ear models, you receive a spare. No tools or additional hardware are required for installation.
