Hi, i'm a newbie around here and I am also quite new when it comes to the higher end of audio listening. Today I received my first real pair of headphones, the Sennheiser HD650's. I am currently just listening and listening and listening and I am really AMAZED by the clarity and high audio reproduction of these cans! I'm really not on anything you can call a high end system (actually I'm using my laptop and a Creative Audigy 2 ZS soundcard), but the music still really rocks my socks!

This is life at it's best!

I'm a student (yes, I had to save for quite some time to afford the cans) and I am travelling quite a lot to and from my native hometown. I'm now wondering if you have any suggestions on which headphone bag/case to buy for carrying my cans without damaging them. I'm not planning to use my 650's while commuting, it's only meant for safe and protective storage.

Thank you for your help!

Have a look at a "Pelican" case with pick and pluck foam. They are not cheap, but are very strong. You can pluck the foam insert to suit the item being carried. I have one for my Grado GS1000's.

I would be very surprised if they are not available in Scandinavia somewhere.

Based on the criteria you posted, I would also suggest a Pelikan case. I use one for my Grado RS-1 and I could not be happier.

Here's an example of a hardshell headphone case:

You can also use a tactical case or range bag, which will often have a compartment for ear protectors, or a flight gear bag, which will also have a compartment for headphones. Some examples:

The advantage of the later two types of bags is obvious, you have room to hold other stuff while traveling. Good luck, and welcome to head-fi.

I have a large headphone bag from Goodcans that I've been using for a number of years that I'm happy with: http://www.goodcans.com/ListeningSta...emcansbag.html.

It obviously doesn't offer as much protection as some of the other suggestions in this thread, but unless you're planning on crushing your headphones, it should be enough.

Any suggestions on hard leather cases, such as those found on the round CD cases?
