To the OP What case is that? There has been some discussion about the Audeze Travel case that it is a rather tight fit.

 This is big enough to securely hold the headphones and some other gear.  It's a better form factor than the available Pelican brand cases.
 
I use mine mostly for air travel, so if you're looking for something to throw in a backpack, it may be too big.  It will definitely protect the EL-8s without being scratched and is waterproof and drop resisitent.

That looks cool. Wish they made one that was soft shell style and a little smaller like the size of the headphones. Very cool case but doesn't look like it would fit in any of my carry on's.

Thanks. It's hard to find a case that's smaller yet still deep enough to fit the headphones. I went though the catalogs of pretty much all of the quality case manufacturers and this is the best compromise I could find.

This does fit in my small carry on, but I completely understand that it's bigger than a lot of people want to deal with. There's also a handle, so sometime I just carry it separately.

My carry on is this typically.Which fits my Leica stuff, my Shure SE 535's, and my Macbook 2015 Retina or my Surface pro 4, sometimes both if I don't bring to much camera stuff (one is work one is fun).

I will probably be moving to something like this for a carry on since I will want to bring these along from now on.

Which should hold the EL-8's and all my stuff in a case about the size of the Audeze Travel Case. Would be nice if the made a modular type soft shell.

It's that.

If anyone has any other case recommendation I would post here. I am sure other will be looking as the popularity of these headphones seems to be growing.

I have contacted Audeze regarding the "issues" with their EL8 Travel Case and they send me a complete set of instructions with pictures that I would like to share with you:
 
Audeze Recommendations:
+ ALWAYS use your foam insert to protect your headphone during travel!
+ Avoid getting your travel case wet.
 
Instructions:
 

1. Pivot Earcups to the flat position with Yokes facing out. 
 
 

2. Place pedestals on the foam insert into the Earcups.
 
 
 
3.Place headphone with foam insert into the case.
 
Pro tip: to ensure proper fit, line up the top of the head band with the top of the case!

Just got the titanium version and they sound awesome...only problem is the cipher cable doesn't work with EQU.....But, the EQ app is decent

For those interested in a custom cable.
 
I reached out to Moon Audio. We should be having custom cable options shortly. Personally I am looking for a silver cable.

Cool. How is the soundstage with the Titanium version?

 

[MikeRight]

Pick one or two songs and I will describe my soundstage impressions with the Titanium ones.

I have tried both themes with EL8 Titanium with the cipher cable, Ultrasone HFI780 and 2 KRK ROKIT 8 in a 1.5m stereo configuration.
All from an iPhone 6+ with Tidal HIFI. I am sorry but I do not have open headphones to compare. 
 
We are talking about closed headphones so it is imposible to get the big soundstage you get with the KRKs.
 
In my opinion, "Poetry man" it is well resolved in EL8T offering a medium soundstage where you are in the first line of the concert, specially when people clap. 
Everything happens near or around you but in any case you do not feel a swallowed scene.
 
I like that kind of sound for jazz genre where you can feel that are part of the band. 
 
In "Jezebel", the feelings are similar.
Of course, because of the echo you feel that you are in a bigger concert room or in an empty room where Sade and their musicians play ONLY for you.
 
Again the EL8T offers you that kind of intimacy, that kind of sound. 
It is not good or bad. It is just like that, it is what you can expect for a closed headphones.
