My CM500 works fine, although I added cloth ear muffs for more comfort.
The friction detents in the adjustment are accessible. Try putting some rosin or other friction enhancer on them. If you are the only one who ever uses the headset and if your setting was always the same, you could probably even superglue them in place.

I recently purchased the Yamaha CM 500 headphones. I think the "headphone part" works very well, but they won't stay adjusted - the plastic friction parts are just too loose. I'm not nitpicking here, it's a real problem. They were cheap, so maybe I shouldn't expect more, but I'm wondering if anyone else had this same experience. If other people have not had this issue, I will return them and try another set, but maybe I should just spend the money and try something else. My hearing is changing, so headphones are probably going to be necessary. As I said, I am happy with the Yamaha's performance. Maybe I got a lemon.
