I'm needing to buy another pair of EarPads for my AKG K601s. Where can i get a pair, or where would you all recommend?

Any help is appreciated much. Thanks...

You can get them from HeadRoom for $19.99 per side.

It seem the K601 earpads are even harder to find now days.  Does anyone know where to find genuine AKG K601 earpads that are as cheap as HeadRoom use to sell it for, and available to Canada or in Canada [with reasonable shipping costs]?

I found those, but shipping to Canada is unreasonable.  15.40EUR [$21] for two earpads, okay I can live with that, but 50.00EUR [$67], three times the cost of product is ridiculous!  It's an outrageous rip off, and on top of that I'd have to pay duties.

 

[Syliano]

Yeah thats way to much. You could try to mail them and ask for a more reasonable shipping price.

 

[TheKisho]

I could try but it's unlikely that they'll be able to do anything about it.  European shipping is always expensive.

Just order them direct from AKG:

Frank is a really nice guy.  You can find the part no. yourself by going to AKG's web site and looking around in the support material, or just ask Frank.

Will he ship to Canada is the problem.  I thought he was USA only.  I have the part number somewhere on this computer (it's in the same document with the K701 parts [K601/K701 pdf]).  I would really like to order from Frank, but if he cannot fulfill non-US orders I'm not in much luck then.  He sounds like a good representative from what I've heard.

 

Shipping costs as well would be much more reasonable, if I could get it from the US.

 

[Kevin Brown]

All you can do is to call and ask, or email him. 

 

[TheKisho]

I was planing to, but I just haven't got around to it.  I was busy last night.  If not maybe he'll know of a Canadian source for parts.
 
 
P.S.  I'll post again once I've done emailing around and gotten a response back.
