[That dude]

Hi, I'm tired of wiping down my headphones, amps, and sources down before each listen. My audio rack is situated next to a large window and even though it's almost always closed, an absurd amount of dust seem to grow like mould on the components every couple of days.

Are there any dust covers which I can get on a budget? Worldwide shipping would be required. I do hope you guys can help, and yes, there's no where else that I can relocate the rack to.

With a little bit of alteration, dust covers designed for shoes work great

I find the Stax dust cover to do the job nicely, and hence I have a handful of them.
Shaped to fit most headphones, thick pvc which keeps the shape firm, button in case you want to coil up the cable and tuck it away, and fair priced.

$25.99 from Audio Cubes II

A dish towel works pretty well, even if it's not the prettiest. For that matter, any piece of cloth should do the trick.

I'm unfamiliar with shoe dust covers, what are they?

The stax cover looks great, but I still find it a little dear especially since I'll have to get at least 2 or 3.

You could always try a tea cosy

But if your headphones are "Skull Candy" you should use one of these:

The only decent picture i could find of a shoe dust bag is here

(Disregard the Chanel logo)
I bought mine at a .99 cent shop, and had to cut off part of the bottom since it was too long. definitely worth even penny

I just use cheap cloth napkins I bought from Target. My headphones are on stands and I drape the cloth napkin (I got solid black) over them.

Go to an antique or vintage shop and look for old hankerchiefs...usually in white cotten, some in linen. looks much better than tea towels. Discard the ones with stains.

These work quite well:

A large Zip Lock bag works well and is super cheap.

... I heard all headphones worth protecting come with a dust cover/bag ...
