Dekoni AudioHeadphone Foam Attenuation Kit, Universal Tuning Pads

I'm sensitive to sibilance, so those s sounds bug me when headphone are tuned with high peaks around 7k hertz. Many headphones have this peak as it creates a sense of detail for those that don't find it annoying. This peak also seems to exist as something that is happens with today's technology doesn't show smooth transitions at various frequencies. The foam tones down the sibilance without taking too much from the rest of the sound signature.

Easy cut to the right put it in and I was done

The filters are soft and easy to cut. I bought them for my K702 but they didn’t really fix the brightness issue. I used the choice Leather pads from Dekoni plus some eq and that was way better. Would recommend only if headphone has a slight issue with sibilance or brightness.

A solid option for those that want to experiment with damping in their headphones. Good for taming aggressive upper frequencies.

I like AKG headphones. I collect some old AKG junk that I usually have to restore. Do you know what's the first to go? It's either the earpad or the inner foam insert.Former goes bad? You're in luck, aftermarket pads galore! Pick your poiso- I mean replacement and you're good to go!But latter? Oh boy welcome to pain town.Getting original AKG foam pads is not an easy task for an introvert. The individual parts are NOT sold anywhere but by the manufacturer themselves (whom you have to call), or websites with expensive shipping or straight up "No shipping to maple leaf land."Searching for an alternative ain't easy either. For whatever reason there's almost no manufacturer selling foam pieces (except geekia, but they sell almost everything). Unfortunately for me, that foam piece changes the sound signature quite a bit.And here's where these come to the rescue. These aren't like the originals. Not at all... However they give multiple options allowing me to pick the closest, or rather the one I liked most. They look like they'll irritate my ear, but when I put my ear against them, they're actually quite comfortable and not at all scratchy!So, all in all, these are a good alternative to those original pads that are so difficult to find in a convenient manner. Oh they also tame sparkly high notes and loose bass depending on which pad you choose too, a bonus which is actually their intended function.Yes I knew that, stop reminding me.
