Is the Yamaha CM500 still being manufactured?

They're nothing special; you can dial in equalization just as well in 
the K3S.  I bought the Heil with my K3 and quickly gave up on them.

The Yamaha CM500 plugs into the rear (with bias) and the headphones are 
comfy for hours, without spending a lot (by comparison, you can get a 
few for the cost of one Heil).  They block most of the noise in my 
shack.  I keep a couple spares as the foam covers do wear out.

If you need to block of lot of shack noise, there are other options, 
most are expensive.

A search of the archives is recommended, this topic has been covered 
many times before.
