AKG 2908Z12020 - Foam Disc for K271 Headphone Ear Pads

AKG 2908Z12020 - Foam Disc for K271 / K271 MKII Headphones Ear Pads

The AKG 2908Z12020 is the original foam disc that sits under the ear cushion of the AKG K271 and K271 MKII headphones. This OEM part is part of the earcup assembly and is listed in the official service documentation as “Disk/Foam disk” (position 3 on the K271 Studio and position 22 on the K271 MKII), with a quantity of 2 units per earcup (one per side). Its function is to cover and protect the transducer under the cushion, maintaining the integrity of the assembly and facilitating a clean replacement when the original foam degrades due to use.

In addition to the K271, this disk is used in the HSC271/HSD271 (headsets based on the K271), where it also appears as "Disk" in the parts list. If you're looking for a replacement that preserves the factory fit and finish, choosing the exact manufacturer's part number is the surest way to restore your headset to its original condition.
