Can anyone recommend a travel/storage case for the Elegia? I have inexplicably lost mine in a house move, and need something to replace it with...

Focal sells these like $150 IIRC, you can find them second hand for $80ish... for that price I suggest you make sure it's basically new or unused though, but I am sure a lot of budget Elegia buyers are willing to get discount by not keeping the case

Drop.com has Dekoni headphone bags on sale for $35.

That dekoni bag/case might be the only one with the width for a focal chassis. They dont fit my beyer cases (1770pro and T1.2)

Thanks guys, i'm in the UK and alas can't find the dekoni bag here. I might try and get it shipped from Drop, but any thoughts on this?

Be careful.
As @lpd2 said, Focal chassis are wide. And portions of the headband are plastic, so you may end up with a broken headband that can't be replaced, trashing your Elegia, if you squeeze it too much to fit into a tight case.
I would make damn sure Focals fit in that case before buying.
The Focal headphones fit in the Dekoni cases at least that's what it says on the site but I can't say for sure since I've never tried them.
Also, I just have to say I love this headphone and they are becoming one of my favorites for sure. They sound great with all the electronic music I listen to and I've always loved just how good the Focals are with imaging and separation. The depth of field on them is just outstanding and the bass has quite a bit more thump to it than my Elear did along with better texture as well.

They are very impressive, especially with the Dekoni Stellia pads. I am in the middle of a quick rotation of my collection, but I went with these for a day and a half. Everything sounds great on them, rock or jazz.

So uhhhh now these are no longer "limited" and we can get it anytime, would you guys recommend getting the Elegia?
Keep in mind I don't plan to EQ, would the pad be enough to push it into the "non EQ" category?
Thanks!

I don't EQ because I stink at it -- and I always wanted a little "EQ" for a slightly more elevated mid-bass, but since I've had these now-not-limited-edition pads, I've not wanted to EQ it at all -- they're just right.

They do sound better with EQ. But they sound pretty good with the Stellia pads too.

The Stellia pads made all the difference to me. I found stock lacking and the sheepskin changed the sound. But the Stellia pads kept the stock sound, but made it a little bassier. Very nice.
Just speaking for me but, if I HAVE to EQ a headphone, I would just move them on.
