AKG K-712 Ear Pad

I needed a replacement pad for my K702 65th Anniversary edition which, just like its stock pad it was comfortable and not sweat inducing. It also provides more bass thanks to its firmness as well as eliminates uneven positioning over your ears.

I also have stock velour pads for K702/Q701 and when compared with the gel pads, it wasn't as comfortable coupled with weak bass.

All in all, it's a great replacement pad for your annie and K712. You can also use these pads on other K7XX products as well. Although the price might be high however it's definitely worth every penny if you want to "upgrade" from your current AKG K7XX stock pads.


P.S Originally I was about to buy these pads from my local official AKG distributors (part #5021871) though the price was way too high compared to thomann.de. The delivery was also ridiculously long (2~4 weeks) which ultimately I decided to order from here. In the end, I'm very satisfied with thomann's price and quick delivery.

So I have AKG K712 pro ordered back in 2017, which came with these earpads. They must be a big part in why these headphones feel so incredibly comfortable to wear. They're just like memory foam pillows and they never make me sweat and feel the weight of the cans.

And just like any velour-coated earpad, they gather gunk quite easily and it's pretty much impossible to get rid of it. I've tried washing the earpads (after removing them from headphones of course) by scrubbing and soaking them with gentle shampoo made for wool. There was some effect, but the gunk has sadly got too deeply embedded, so a new pair of these earpads was still necessary.

Why I went as far as to wash them? - the price. : ) a pair of these is almost one half of what these headphones cost. While the price is somewhat understandable, it has been a tough bullet to bite when you don't have a lot of free money.

The price is fortunately reflected in the quality of the product, as even the washing didn't cause any of the glued parts to get loose. They would basically last forever with intended usage, if it wasn't for the gunk and grease buildup. In addition to construction quality, they look and feel wonderful. The price hints at luxury and that's what you get.

it's hard to imagine anything more comfortable than these earpads. They also seal very well thanks to the memory foam insides.
