The failures I have are the ear pads disintegrate. Someone said Koss pads could
work but that hasn't been my experience. I've found some '500s at estate sales
where I snap them up. Currently the law firm where my fiance is employed is
working from home and she's using a set on her computer to "attend" on-line
meetings. I guess I can add "IT Manager" to my resume, since I'm helping her
with her connections. I second the use of VOX.

Your experience is unusual. In about 11 years, the only thing that has ever
gone wrong with my CM500s have been a broken cable, which, unfortunately, is
not replaceable. I'm kind of a klutz, so I'm hard on cables, dropping them,
kicking them, etc. Perhaps it got broken in shipping?
I've never used anything but VOX for SSB and digital modes. That's always
worked just fine as long as there's not loud noise (like when the XYL walks
through the shack and lets the screen door slam). :)
