AKG 2040Z08020 - Cover K141

AKG 2040Z08020 - Shell/Pot for AKG K141 Headphones (Original Replacement Part)

The AKG 2040Z08020 is the original side cover/shell — referred to by AKG as the Shell/Pot — for the AKG K141 headphones. This part is part of the cup assembly and protects the capsule block and its internal fixation, ensuring correct mechanical fit and factory aesthetics after repairs or restorations. As an OEM replacement , it respects the tolerances and fits of the original design, avoiding looseness, vibrations or resonances that can occur with non-official parts.

Reference 2040Z08020 corresponds to the K141 series earcup housing . If your headphone is the K141 MKII version, please note that AKG specifies a different housing reference ( “Shell” 2040Z08050 ) and associated side covers ( “Cover left + Mini-XLR” 2040M99010 and “Cover right” 2040Z09170 ). Please check the exact model before ordering to ensure compatibility.
