About this pair
Need akg k601 k701 replacement ear pads when the white pile goes thin or shiny? These AKG K601 K701 Replacement Ear Pads — White Velvet restore a white velvet contact on the large open-back ring. Velvet finish for a quieter, softer touch. The same listing also names K702 and K712, plus K612, Q701, and Q702 — confirm that baffle before you stretch a new pad on.
White velvet for the K701-family open-back ring
Reference and monitoring cups in this family use a wide ring. Shoppers searching white velvet ear pads for akg k601 k701, ear pads compatible with k601, k701, k702, k712, or studio headphone ear pads for akg k601 k701 are describing that ring, not a closed DJ cup. K701 open-back velour, a K702 velour nap, and K712 PRO-style fabric language all sit on the same aftermarket idea: replace worn velour so the open-back air stays around the ear instead of collapsing into a hard plastic edge.

Secondary lines cover akg k601 k701 monitoring ear pads spare, a breathable studio velour feel, and an open-back airy seal. Tertiary commercial lines — buy, cheap, where to shop — close the page after the fit story, not as a dumped list.

- Pair only — matching white velvet pads, no headphones in the box.
Why white velour still belongs on a studio desk
Open-back monitors leak by design. What you feel is the pad, not a travel seal. White velour reference pads and Q701 white velvet keep a soft, quiet contact so long editing or mix checks do not grind the ear against a worn ring. Breathable studio velour is the surface story: pile, not a sealed leather cup. Aftermarket K701 fabric covers in this listing are ear pads — replacement cushions — not slip-on decorative sleeves.
A dust-prone white pile is a real trade-off. If your room sheds lint, black velvet 174176 hides it. If you want the classic light nap on a K601 velour ring, this SKU is the white one. Buyers asking for a buy AKG K701 K702 white velvet replacement ear pads kit or an AKG K712 velour spare kit for sale should still verify the baffle. A cheap Q701 white velour ear pads search does not change that check.
How to replace and clean white velvet pads
For how to replace ear pads on akg k601 k701: typical stretch-over the metal or plastic baffle ring. Seat the white nap evenly on both cups so one side does not sit taller. That is the whole install — no adhesives in the catalog facts, no invented millimeter stretch.
Do not machine-wash. Spot-clean with a barely damp cloth and air-dry. A soft brush lifts dust from the pile. White velour stains if you soak it; keep water off the foam core. These are aftermarket ear pads for akg k601 k701, sold as a matching pair.
