AKG 2144Z16010 - Leatherette Earpad (Unit) with Bayonet Closure for K121 / K141 / K141 MKII

The AKG 2144Z16010 is the original equipment (OEM) replacement ear cushion for various K1xx series headphones, including the K121 / K121 Studio , K141 , K141 Monitor and K141 MKII models. Made of black synthetic leather (leatherette) , it restores factory seal and comfort, improving isolation and bass response when the original ear cushions are worn. Its bayonet lock mounting allows for quick and secure replacement, without adhesives or special tools.

This is a single piece (sold individually) ; a complete pair of ear cushions requires two replacements . For the K141 MKII , AKG offers two ear cushion references: 2144Z16010 (leatherette finish) and 2144Z16020 (velour finish). Both are interchangeable in terms of fit on the earcup's bayonet ring.
