[SCCC] Headphones?

[David Hachadorian]

The CM-500 is my second-favorite headset after the Koss SB-45.  The 
CM-500 has a headband made out of coarse material with bumps in it.  It 
scratches my bald head.  The SB-45 headband is soft vinyl padding.  
Replacement ear pads are available for $5 from Koss with free shipping.

> You can spend big bucks and get the best.  I like to evaluate cost/benefit ratio.  I have a couple Yamaha CM-500's.  They are very comfortable for long BIC contests.  The microphone puts out good audio.  They are very reasonable.  The only downside is that they are somewhat fragile and don't take abuse.  The earpads do deteriorate over time.  Tim N6WIN at ND7K has some headsets that are like visegrips on my head.  I am bringing my CM-500 next time I go there.
