I have AKG K240s with earpads that do get the stank after awhile. In the past I would take the pads off, fill a sink with hot water, add a little bit of laundry soap, and drop in the pads...A light scrub also helps. Then I squeeze the excess water out and set them to dry in the sun.

1st try a professional cleaning product or some alcohol based solution, if that doesn't work try with gasoline, ye gasoline, put away fire sources when u'r doing this, then wash the gasoline smell with an ordinary cleaning solution. If you use very often your headphones try to wash your hair/head daily to keep your cans clean.
