"So now I open again for other suggested headsets in the $100 range. The CM500 was a gaming headset so that could be a source. This is going to be a gift for a friend who badly needs something.
Any more ideas?" I had been using my Yamaha HP-1 headphones on my Kenwood TS-590. I decided they were too good for amateur radio and wanted to keep them in good condition. I had followed the threads on the CM-500 and purchased Koss SB/45. They are far from the quality feel of the Yamaha but are reasonably comfortable and shut out external sounds better. I used them to make several CW DX QSO and they worked fine. Not as nice as the Yamaha for listening to the split pile up over a 3 kHz span but quite adequate for the job. Very few phone QSO with them but no complaints with the frequency response. I have not hooked up the microphone yet.
