What customers say
The Dekoni EPZ-K701-HYB ear pads are widely considered an essential upgrade for AKG K701 headphones, focusing on superior comfort and refined sound. Users praise the hybrid construction, blending soft velour with durable sheepskin and high-density foam, which significantly improves long listening sessions by reducing fatigue. Acoustically, the pads address common critiques by adding welcome low-end presence and impact, resulting in a warmer, fuller sound. While there is a slight reduction in extreme high-end airiness, the overall consensus is that this trade-off creates a more balanced and enjoyable audio experience. Customers feel the significant enhancements in both ergonomics and performance justify the premium investment.
Know before you buy
These pads are designed for the AKG K701 series and are compatible with the K601, K612PRO, K701, K702, K712PRO, K7XX, Q701, and Q702 models.
The Elite Velour construction combines traditional velour fabric with a stretchy jersey material. This blend is engineered to provide a softer feel against the skin while maintaining the breathability and acoustic properties of standard velour.
Because these pads use high-density memory foam and a specific fabric blend, they may slightly alter the seal compared to your original pads. Most users find they offer improved sound isolation and a more controlled bass response due to the secure fit.
The slow-rebound foam is designed to contour precisely to the shape of your head and ears. This ensures a consistent, comfortable seal that stays secure during long listening sessions without creating uncomfortable pressure points.
Installation is straightforward and follows the standard mounting method for the AKG K701 series. You simply need to stretch the mounting flange of the pad over the headphone's plastic mounting ring until it is securely seated.
