Hi I'm excited to join the DIY Audio Haven community! I recently found this group while looking for a way to fix my AKG K550 headphones. I found the modification for the K551 that mentioned the synthetic fabric surrounding the drivers should not be removed. However, when I replaced the ear pads, I discovered that the fabric on my headset had come off.
Looking for advice on the best way to reapply the fabric.
Thank you in advance for your help.

RoadDawgWest You mean the fabric ring around the driver itself which covers the 6 holes ? When the fabric is still there but just came of you can glue it back on, just ensure there is no glue near the holes. Put the glue on the fabric (can be thin) and put the fabric back on. When the fabric had been removed replace it with paper coffee filter.

Thank you solderdude
Yes, the fabric ring that was over the open holes and the filled in holes. The fabric was still there, but it was at the bottom between the ear pad and the driver housing.
This has me worried, if the fabric was previously glued and put in place I have no way of knowing which circular impression on the fabric was over the open holes on the driver housing.
Any recommendation on identifying the position of the fabric ring or the type of glue? I'm assuming a spray type of glue.

Just some small amount of glue applied on the baffle around the holes. The material is light so drastic glue is not needed. Just put the material back in place.
