How to install K702 earpads w proper orientation?

post #1 of 4

Hi,

I didn't pay attention to the orientation of the ear cushions when I removed them and I'm not sure what the correct orientation is for putting them back on. The ear cushions have a thicker part and thinner part (making them what AKG calls '3D'). I'm not sure where the thicker part is supposed to be placed on the earphone.

If you look at the inside of the cushion, there's a line drawn to indicate which hole corresponds to this thick part. What I'm not sure of is which notch on the earphone this should match up to, to get the correct angle of the cushion (there are nothces at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock).

If anyone knows, that would be a big help, thank you!

the thick part goes towards the rear, the thin towards the front, thus angling the drivers towards your ears

Thanks!

I see how the Left one is supposed to fit (with the fattest part at about 10 o'clock). Would anyone have a photo of how the Right one is supposed to fit?

It's hard to explain but the foam cuashions are identical in construction and have to be fit on clockwise on both the Left and the Right. As such, the fat bit of the cushioning is not at the same angle on the L and R.. So I don't know if I have the thick part of the R one too high (about 1 o'clock or too low (about 4 o'clock).

Sorry if this doesn't make any sense...

Just put the thickest part of the pads on both sides to the rear of the headphones. Job done. Seriously isn't that difficult..
