Hi Ricardo and Don, I also enjoyed the Yamaha CM-500 but I was very disappointed when it failed last week after only 11 months of use. There is a mesh webbing that rests on your head and it became detached at one end. I opened up the headset to determine if it could be repaired easily and it can't. I can see how to do a sloppy fix with super glue but since it was within the one year warranty I decided to send it back to Yamaha.
Navigating their website was not pleasant. There is no way that I could see to e-mail or phone customer service so I followed the instructions on the headset package and just shipped it back. I prefer having a RMA number but hopefully I will get satisfactory results with the approach I took. I know lots of K3 users have purchased the CM-500 and I don't recall ever seeing a posting about this type of failure. They were used very gently so I hope this was just an unusual manufacturing defect. 73, Mike K2MK Don Wilhelm-4 wrote > > Try the Yamaha CM-500.
