Yeah, but really nice velour* replacement pads for the Sony's can be had for not much more than the $17 they want for those covers.
Charlie k3ICH *Sweetwater has the best Beyerdynamic velour pads. These are much more comfortable than the OEM, AND they won't flake off like the originals. I have them on several Sony MDR7506's, which by the way, have much better hi freq response than the CM-500, but obviously do not have a boom mike. Try the Sony's. You'll hear stuff you didn't know was there in your music collection. Great for all us aging types that are losing our high-end hearing too. -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Dan Atchison via Elecraft Sent: Monday, July 31, 2017 7:47 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] OT Yamaha CM-500 ear pads Not a replacement ear pad, but if you get a new headset, you might want to cover them with a "Garfield Headphone Softie." These covers protect the original ear pad and, IMHO, make the headphones more comfortable on the ear. I use them on my CM500 headset and my Sony MDR-7506 headphones. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/368310-REG/Garfield_SGARHS1_Headphone _Softie_Earpad.html 73, Dan ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
