These pads are for Superlux HD 681 and are a great genuine replacement parts. They also look like an exact replica of the AKG K240 pads, so I ordered some as people have said they are the same but unfortunately they are not. I compared them with new original AKG pads.
Here are the main differences:
The leather material is shinier and heats up more then the AKG ones.
The outer diameter is 103 mm on the Superlux and 108 mm on the AKG.
The inner diameter is 55 mm on the Superlux and 58 mm on the AKG.
You will be able to put them on the K240 but it will be a very, very tight fit. The sound also changes slightly. Main difference is that the mids will start sounding a bit further away.
Overall, I would definitely recommend for Superlux headphones and I would strongly suggest to avoid them as a replacement for AKG headphones.

A useful spare part

I bought these Superlux EPK-601 ear pads for my AKG K 240. I use these headphones a lot both for listening to music and producing music in the studio. These copies of the AKG product fit perfectly and are cheaper than the Austrian equivalent.
They "work" as expected. I couldn't find any differences... the same look and the same function. But they also have the same disadvantages as the AKG product. When using the headphones for a longer time it is getting hot and sweaty around your ears ... Furthermore the rubber material seems to harden over the years, so it's good to exchange the pads regularly. The attractive price of this product actually helps you to get a new pair of fresh ear pads from time to time...
