[CQ-Contest] Yamaha CM500 headphones flaking apart

[Joe]

I wish I could find the pads I had for my stereo headphones I had in the 
70's, I'm pretty sure they were Koss phones, but the pads were a gell 
filled oval. it was like a waterbed on your skull. you could wear them 
forever and never know it and talk about blocking outside sounds out! wow!
