AKG 2458A17010 - Elastic band for self-adjusting headband of AKG K702 / Q701 (unit)

The AKG 2458A17010 is the original elastic band that tensions the self-adjusting headband system on AKG's K7 series headphones, specifically the K702 and Q701 . Replacing this part restores the correct height and firmness of the headband when the headband sags or the earcup becomes loose due to use and material fatigue. As an OEM replacement , it maintains the mechanical behavior and ergonomics designed by AKG.
