I bought a new CM-500 set on Amazon about two years ago. They feel great on my head and work wonderfully. In May I decided to try the Koss SB-45. Price was good (about $30 from Amazon). They feel very similar to my Heil headset, meaning about the same as putting my head in a vise. Simply too tight on my head, especially for wearing them through a 48 hour contest. I went back to the CM-500s. I find it worth paying the $60 from Amazon to get these instead of something else.
