Well, that fired off a bit early....these iPads are touchy....especially that SEND button

Putin = put on

"...then push from the center of the headband downward and it will move down equally down until the head band reaches the top of your head. Mine slid down nice and easy."

Don't you just love auto spell checker when your typing and then your thumb accidentally hits that SEND button so cleverly placed near a corner grasping point on the iPad.:)

Jim is very knowledgeable about this sort of thing (he's an audio engineer), and he spent a lot of time evaluating the CM-500 before mentioning it to the rest of us.  I, for one, am most pleased with my set (I actually have two of them), and think they are head and shoulders above the Heil headset combo I had been using (the "IC" model, which is the same thing Elecraft sells under their own name). The earphones are considerably better, and they fit nicely.  The microphone is an electret, and electrets seem to work great generally.  The one thing I would caution you about on the CM-500 is the headband.  There is a cushioning strap that goes across, under the headband itself, and it is not able to take much abuse.  Adjusting the headset for proper fit is not as smooth and easy as with some headsets, and you have to manipulate each side with some care.  My point is that, if you just pull on the two sides, that strap may tear.  Mine did!  Anyway, with just a little care in getting the adjustment right, you will probably be very happy!  For the price I don't think you can beat this headset.
