I agree, the CM500 is not much for listening to music, but they do quite 
nicely for frequencies used for communications - and I can use them 
without removing my hearing aids - others may have different results.

I received Bose QC35 II headphones for Christmas and compared them to my new Grado SR225e headphones. The Bose are OK if I’m not paying attention to the music, but they’d never be mistaken for hi-fi headphones.
