⭐ Fresh Ear Pads for Your AKG K24i / K24P
The AKG K24i and AKG K24P are light headphones that go everywhere: commutes, trips and everyday listening. With all that use, the ear pads get squeezed, warmed up and exposed to sweat and skin oils again and again. They're a classic wear part and age long before the electronics do.
The foam usually gives out first: it loses its spring, flattens or turns hard in spots. Then the cover starts to crack, peel or fuzz up. The headphones press harder, sit less securely and look worn, even though they often still sound great.
These replacement ear pads for the AKG K24i and K24P let you renew only what's worn out. It's quick, easy and far cheaper than buying new headphones.
🎧 K24i and K24P
Designed to replace the original pads on both AKG models.
🧽 New Foam
Fresh cushioning with volume and a comfortable bounce.
🛡️ Leatherette
Smooth, tidy and easy to wipe clean.
🧸 Velour
Soft, fabric-like and especially breathable.
🔧 Easy Install
A few minutes, no need to take the headphones apart.
📦 Complete Pair
Left and right, so both sides feel the same.
🧽 Why the Foam Matters So Much
An ear pad has three parts: the foam padding inside, the cover (leatherette or velour) and the mounting area that attaches to the ear cup. The foam does four important jobs.
🛋️ It cushions
It spreads pressure over your ear and temple so you can listen for hours.
🔒 It holds the fit
It follows the shape of your ear and keeps the headphones in place.
🎚️ It keeps sound consistent
It sets the distance and air space between the driver and your ear.
📐 It keeps its shape
It holds the pad in the right position over time.
When the foam gives out, comfort, fit and sound consistency suffer. New ear pads are the most direct way to get your AKG feeling right again.
🩺 How to Tell Your Ear Pads Are Worn Out
📉 Flattened Foam
The pad no longer springs back.
🪨 Hard Spots
Some areas are firmer and press on your ears.
🧩 Crumbling Foam
Specks or powder show up under the cover.
🩹 Worn Cover
Leatherette peels or cracks, velour thins out or fuzzes.
😣 Sore Ears
The headphones get uncomfortable after a short time.
🔊 Thinner Bass
The fit is looser and the sound loses body.
👃 Lingering Odor
Sweat has soaked into the foam.
✅ Headphones Still Work
Only the ear pads need replacing.
🧪 The 3-Step Foam Test
- Thumb test: press into the center of the pad and let go. If the dent stays, the foam is worn out.
- Touch test: run your fingers around the pad. Hard, uneven or lumpy foam is breaking down.
- Visual test: check the edges and seams. Cracks, tears or foam crumbs mean it's time for a new pair.
🔎 Compatibility: AKG K24i and AKG K24P
These ear pads are made for the AKG K24i and the AKG K24P. AKG makes many similar-looking headphones, so please take a moment to confirm your exact model before ordering.
Confirm Your AKG Model in 4 Steps
- Check the headband: the model name is usually printed on or under it.
- Look at the ear cups: left/right markings or the model name are often there.
- Find the original box or manual if you kept them.
- Review your order history or receipt from when you bought the headphones.

🎨 Leatherette or Velour: Which One Is Right for You?
Both versions fit the same headphones and install the same way. The difference is in feel, heat and upkeep.
🛡️ Leatherette
A smooth, closed surface that wipes clean in seconds. It protects the foam from dust and some of the moisture and generally isolates a bit better from outside noise.
Great if you commute, travel or want easy upkeep.
🧸 Velour
A soft, fabric-like surface that feels gentle on the skin. Velour is more breathable and traps less heat, a plus for long sessions and warm days.
Great if you want plush comfort and an airy feel.
📊 Side-by-Side
| Feature | 🛡️ Leatherette | 🧸 Velour |
|---|---|---|
| Feel | Smooth | Soft, fabric-like |
| Heat | Can feel warmer over long wear | More breathable |
| Isolation | Generally a bit better | Solid |
| Cleaning | Slightly damp cloth | Soft brush, keep dry |
| Dust | Wipes off easily | Picks up more |
| Best for | Commuting, easy care | Long sessions, summer |
🔧 How to Replace the Ear Pads
Allow a few minutes and take it slowly.
- Set up on a clean, bright surface with a soft cloth.
- Note left and right before taking the old pads off.
- Release the first pad gradually all the way around. No sharp tugs.
- Clean the mounting area by wiping off dust, foam residue or adhesive with a dry cloth.
- Place the new pad flat, lining its edge up with the ear cup.
- Press it down gently and evenly all the way around.
- Repeat on the other side.
- Check the result: no wrinkles, no lifted edges, and both pads should match.
Wrinkle or loose edge? Lift that section slightly, smooth it out and press it down again gradually.

❓ AKG K24i / K24P Ear Pads: Frequently Asked Questions
Do these ear pads fit both the AKG K24i and the K24P?
Yes, they are made for both models. Please still verify the name on your headphones before ordering.
Leatherette or velour: which should I pick?
Velour is softer and more breathable. Leatherette is easier to clean and generally isolates a bit better. Choose based on how and where you listen.
Why does ear pad foam wear out?
It's compressed every time you wear the headphones and exposed to heat, sweat and skin oils. Over time it flattens, hardens or crumbles.
What's included?
One pair of ear pads (left and right) in the cover you choose. The headphones are not included.
Are they hard to install?
No. Take off the old pads and fit the new ones, usually without tools. The step-by-step guide above covers it.
Should I replace both ear pads together?
Yes. The foam wears evenly on both sides, and a fresh matching pair keeps comfort balanced.
Will the sound change?
There may be slight differences depending on thickness and material. In general, new foam gives a more consistent fit than flattened pads.
How do I know the foam is worn?
Flat or hard foam, crumbs under the cover, a peeling or fuzzy surface and sore ears are the usual signs.
How do I clean the ear pads?
Leatherette with a slightly damp cloth, velour with a soft brush. Avoid solvents and strong alcohol.
My headphones still work. Is it worth replacing just the ear pads?
Definitely. You keep working headphones and replace only the wear part, for far less than a new pair.
How long will new ear pads last?
It depends on how often you wear them, how much you sweat and how you store and care for the headphones. Regular cleaning helps the foam last.
Do you carry ear pads for other AKG headphones?
Yes. See the full AKG ear pad collection.
