I like theYamaha CM500. Unfortunately I'm now on my fourth set. They are
too fragile for me. Either headphones or mic fails.

I plug CM500 mic into K3 rear MIC jack with BIAS selected and it works. I
plug CM500 into my computer sound-card MIC jack and it works.

I'm looking for CM500 alternative. I've seen various Koss models.

But I'm confused about electret versus condenser and which is which and
which does what.

Specs for the Koss models are ambiguous and in various places contradict
themselves.

My question: What Koss model or some other brand can I plug and play into
both my K3 mic jack (with Bias on) and into my computer mic jack?

I'm a mic duffus. Help please.

73,
