Replacement ear pads are available, but the internal wiring is very fragile.
I managed to get the replacements on, but broke a wire. After four breaks and three re-solderings, there wasn’t enough wire left to work with, so I bought a new headset. The Koss UR-20 is the same headphone as the Yamaha CM-500 and Koss SB-40, but without a boom mic. The link to these replacements was posted in this email reflector (11/1/19) by Josh W6XU. These are the ones I ordered. https://www.koss.com/accessories/cushions/ur20-ear-cushion This video walks you through the replacement steps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz-atFziEz4 This guy just glued on the new ones, which might be a safer approach. http://n4cf.mdodd.com/cm500_pads.html wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On May 2, 2023, at 7:24 AM, Paul Ecker <ecke...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Realize this subject has been around before, most of postings in archives > are dated.
