I have not personally no.

In fact, one of the many reasons I am so totally thrilled about them is the stiffness of the pads particularly in direct opposite of every other headphone cup pad from AKG’s quite uniquely designed cups that run from the lowest their high range…

So I don’t want to speak for the 702, as I have not tried the aftermarket parts for those AKG’s particularly, however I have, having the exact opposite experience as your issue you used many different pad cups for various AKG’s other then the 702’s which are from what I can tell pretty much very similar if not the same quality options available for the 702’s - I regret to say I’m just totally blanking on the company that I preferred the most, and I know others have had good success with when I get my other office. I’ll do my best to try to track down the name for you and send you a DM if that works?
