[Elecraft] OT Yamaha CM-500 ear pads

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

Yeah, but really nice velour* replacement pads for the Sony's can be had for
not much more than the $17 they want for those covers.

*Sweetwater has the best Beyerdynamic velour pads.  These are much more
comfortable than the OEM,  AND they won't flake off like the originals.
I have them on several Sony MDR7506's, which by the way, have much better hi
freq response than the CM-500, but obviously do not have a boom mike.
Try the Sony's. You'll hear stuff you didn't know was there in your music
collection.  Great for all us aging types that are losing our high-end
hearing too.

Not a replacement ear pad, but if you get a new headset, you might want to
cover them with a "Garfield Headphone Softie."  These covers protect the
original ear pad and, IMHO, make the headphones more comfortable on the ear.
I use them on my CM500 headset and my Sony MDR-7506 headphones.
