I have a pair of CM500's I've used extensively for the past 7-8 yrs.maybe longer.
I typically wear them from 12-40hrs on any major contest weekend. It would not be an exaggeration to say I have well in excess of 1000hrs on them. (a guess..the # might be 2 or 3k.who knows.) All I did was wear out the bonded pleather, but liked the phones so much I bought new velour earpads for them that cost nearly as much as the headphones originally cost, hi. They are better than new now. No issues ever with the headband. Recently I bought a few sets of the Koss SB40 and by gosh they look an awful lot like the Yamaha's..maybe made in the same factory - who knows. They are starting to get hard to find as well but I found mine on amazon.ca for around $60 CDN Good luck!
