I replaced the pads on my AKG Q701 headphones today for the 4th time. It made me realize that I’ve used these headphones for at least 40 hours a week for 14 years straight. I’ve had to repair the left side speaker solder joint a few times, but they’re designed to be easily torn down and repaired. Truly BIFL headphones.

I’ve heard that the newer AKG K702 headphones are identical but I can’t vouch for that. They go for around $250.

    TIL that you can replace the pads. My AKG headphones pads are worn out and I thought I must buy new ones. Where is the best place to do it?

      I got these pads for under $10 on Amazon. You just rotate the pads counter-clockwise and they pop off, no tools needed.
