A couple years ago I bought the CM500 based on al the nice comments
by others on this list. They failed me terribly; set up howling like
a banshee minute I put them on (over my hearing aids) and not even
connected to the radio. My hearing so poor that the amount of gain
in my hearing aids fed back inside the acoustics of the
ear-piece. No amount of fiddling with the headset stopped the
feedback, so went back to wearing my Sony MDR-V600 stereo headset
(which work well with my hearing aids). One if you bought the new
CM500 from me for a nice discount, so I didn't loose out completely.
I got a lot of advice back then which did not help/fix the problem
(not wearing the hearing aids and turning up radio volume was one).
In stead, I found a boom mic that attached to my Sony headset via an
earth magnet "thingy" and that got FB audio reports. The mic has a
foam wind-blast reducer and selectable omni or cardiod pattern pick
up. Haven't really used the combo as I normally use my Heil desk
mic in the shack. The boom mic was obtained for operating portable outdoors.
