Dekoni Earpads for AKG K701 / K702 / K518 / K7XX Series
Verfügbarkeit für Abholungen konnte nicht geladen werden
The AKG K701, K702, K712, K7XX (the Drop collaboration), and K518 share a common ear cup geometry — one of the more familiar platforms in open-back headphone history. The K701 and K702 have defined reference-monitor sound for decades: wide soundstage, detailed high end, and a bass response that some find lean and others find accurate. The K7XX is the same platform tuned with more low-end weight. All share the same Dekoni pad options.
Available materials
Elite Velour: High-grade velour, memory foam fill. The acoustically neutral choice for this platform. The K701's wide, airy character depends partly on velour-style pads; replacing worn stock velour with a higher-grade version preserves the tuning while improving durability. Better pressure distribution as well -- the K701's clamping force is not light.
Elite Sheepskin: Real sheepskin, solid face. The K701's lean low end gets noticeably warmer with sheepskin sealing the cup. Some listeners consider this an improvement; those who chose the K701 for its analytical character may not. The K7XX, which already has more bass weight, takes sheepskin less well.
Elite Fenestrated Sheepskin: Perforated sheepskin. A reasonable compromise for the K701 specifically: leather construction and some low-end reinforcement without fully sealing the cup and losing the open character. For listeners who want more warmth but less than solid sheepskin provides.
Elite Hybrid: Velour face, leather surrounds. Acoustic character close to velour with better thermal management. The K701 series can run warm during long listening sessions; hybrid pads address this without tuning compromise.
Drop-in fit. Genuine Dekoni pads, stocked and sold by Arachne Audio in Tallinn.
