Josh, Regarding ear pads for CM500, I ordered these from eBay, $13.49 including shipping:
Replacement ear pads cushion earpads pad cover for KOSS UR20 UR 20 headphones Suggested by another Elecrafter. The ear pads fit and are just a fraction of an inch large, and work just fine. 73 Hoop K9QJS On Feb 9, 2019, at 4:27 PM, Josh Fiden <j...@voodoolab.com> wrote: The only issue with CM500 is the ear pads eventually wear out. I've had mine about 10 years and they're still serviceable, but on their way out. For the low cost, replacing them every decade isn't horrible. It's clear these are an OEM product made for Yamaha by Koss. Koss sells replacement pads for their headsets $5 with free shipping. Has anyone figured out the correct crossover Koss model to get compatible pads? 73 Josh W6XU Sent from my mobile device > On Feb 9, 2019, at 1:57 PM, Bob McGraw K4TAX <rmcg...@blomand.net> wrote: > > The Yahama C-500 and the Koss SB-40 are two good ones.
