The Koss SB-40 is essentially a Yamaha CM500 with a dynamic mic instead of an electret mic. Some people really don’t like the dynamic mic in the Koss SB-40. I’ve heard zero complaints about the electret in the CM500. The Koss SB-45 is a completely different headset design that does have an electret mic. It sells for $25, much less than the CM500 ($60). To muddy the waters further, my Yamaha CM500 has “KOSS” molded into the microphone plug. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) ______________________________________________________________ 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
