What are hams going to do when their CM-500's break? Are you sure that the mic was DOA? It has an electret microphone which requires voltage to work.

The original factory packaging was gone. 2. It came wound in bubble wrap, then stuffed into a cardboard box that had been cut down from a larger box and taped together. 3. There was no manual. 4. The mic was dead. I'm betting it was a DOA return item that was then sent out to me thinking I wouldn't notice or I'd think returning it was too much trouble. On top of that, they've been out of manufacture for quite some time so all that the stores have are the dregs. 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? Cheers.
