After two years of usage, the earmuffs have chaffed and torn in multiple places, leaving my ears with black pieces each time i'm wearing them.
I turned to AKG manufacturer and they told me to turn to the importer in Israel (where i live).
I talked to the importer and they said they don't have replacement for AKG K553 pro studio headphones because they aren't importing it to Israel.
My question is, if i purchased it on massdrop, who can supply replacement parts? because right now i have a $250 paperweight and no one takes responsibility.
I couldn't find even generic replacement muffs because i can't find the correct size, and the original muffs are HUGE.
Another problem is that AKG doesn't even mention the size of these on the box, and it's proven to be impossible to find specs online that do.
I would appreciate any kind of lead on this issue, many thanks!
bianakHey, Im curious as to what you've done. I'm in a worse situation where basically the entire layer is gone. Have you tried any of the options the users below you commented or did you do something else?
KJ741NI've bought a pair of those off Amazon and makes the headphones sound very "hollow." The sound quality changes quite a bit since the inner wall of the pads are thicker than the OEMs, not to mention the material used (I have the White pads). However, the height is just about the same as the OEMs.
