The cloth covers for the Heil ProSet will cover the deteriorating vinyl on the CM500. You may need a small safety pin to tuck in the extra cloth to fit the CM500.

It's too late now..I've just pulled the Amazon trigger on some replacement
earpads which I *hope* will fit, but what have you all done to remedy what
is apparently a cheap vinyl faux-leather & foam that flakes apart after just
a few short years (6) of ownership?
I don't really want to buy another pair of new CM500's (Now
$87+tax+shipping) next time the earpads go bad.
Are you using material covers? Buying velour? Cheap Koss UR40 replacement
pads? or something else?
I love these things..lightweight..good transmit audio...good earphone sound
and perhaps best of all, don't seem to "squoosh my head" during a long
contest.
