I suggest another set of CM-500's. They may last 2 years, 5 years or
10 years before they are headed for the trash. Just look at it as a
consumable item and that is just the cost of ownership.

Sad to say, but my trusty old CM-500 headphones with boom mic finally bit the
dust. The ear pads had started rotting away, leaving me with black pieces of
gunk on my ears after every on-air session. Tried replacing the pads with a set
of Koss pads but they simply were too small and I wound up breaking off the
connectors going to the speakers. Life is too short to spend any more time
messing with them, so it’s time to look for a replacement.
I’d like to hear from others who are using a similar type of headphone/mic
combo - one that is a direct plug-in to the back of a K3 like the Yamaha
CM-500. If Yamaha would offer replacement parts to their users I’d consider
getting another CM-500, but they don’t and I’m not inclined to buy something
again that cannot easily be repaired.
Suggestions…?
