[Elecraft] OT Yamaha CM-500 ear pads

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

If you get a set of Beyerdynamics velour pads, you'll never go back to that
flaky vinyl surface that OEM Yamaha and Sony use.

They may even be to exact same size too , so I'd bet the Sony type will fit
the CM-500. I have both and they look identical.

They're a tad pricier at about $23  than the cheap Chicom replacements and
best price I've found on them is from Sweetwater Music.

As a side note, I bought a cheap set of pads for a couple bucks, and they
ruined the sound of the Sony's, because they were too small and didn't fit
my ears properly.
They are now in the trash. The Beyerdynamics fit perfectly and are very
comfortable.

Bob, et al,
I installed the Koss UR40 pads on the CM-500 headset. I can't remember which
video but the Yamaha and Koss are the same size pads.
