FWIW, I was able to get inside the headphone on my CM-500s that receives
the cable, and to repair a broken connection. The secret is a couple of
small Philips screws hidden under the earphone pads, accessible from the
inside of the pads by pushing them out

to replace yours?
No, and I've never seen much wear.
I read somewhere that new separate pads are not available.
Right, they're not user replaceable, nor is the cable.
The earpads for my Sony MDR7506 phones are user replaceable, but the
cable is not. I've owned several sets of them that I've used for many
years, and never had a problem with the cord, but I did buy a set for
$5 at a ham flea market with a bad cable. :)
Some of the German headphones have user replaceable cables, especially
those used for stage intercom and by broadcasters, but they're not
nearly as comfortable, don't sound nearly as good, and are fairly
exp0ensive. Beyer, AKG, and Sennheiser make some very nice phones --
they're first rate manufacturers. I have a pair of Beyer DT880Pro that
I like for listening to acoustic music, mostly jazz.
