The Beyer bag was praised in post #39, and rightly so. Let's start with the good news.
DT250. Good news!
Like a baby in a cradle. Closes flat, too.
DT48. Pretty good news. Somewhat protruding at first try.
Stuff it good and it certainly looks a bit more comfortable.
Flatter too.
DT480. Holy Moses, bad news indeed! I'm sure the fit is the same for his minor bros. DT100& 150.
Finally, Beyers' biggest hifi headphone seller from the 1980s:
DT880. Bad news again...
The Beyer bag unsuitable for its most common 'phone? Afraid so.
The pads will most certainly get squashed - a nightmare scenario for the serious headphone collector.
Surprisingly, it doesn't look too bad when closed.
So, Beyer offers a bag where half of its models don't fit. I don't know about the 2005 and professional editions since I care mostly for older models, but those headphones look a bit large if you ask me.
A redesign of the foam may be the simple answer. Now there's a challenge for the engineers in the Beyer Bag Dept.
As always, we folks at "Waht's in the bag?" have a solution for all you DT880 fans out there.... here it is:
Hmm... smaller, that's good.
Not only a handle as the original, but a zipped pocket, too. Now that's what I call a bonus. Good news!
Blimey - it's an original "Duny", the ubiquitous toilet bag...
Wonder what's in there...
Ooooh... more pockinses. And velvet pads. And space for it all as well. Could that be a DT770?
No, definitely the first version DT880, but modified. Look at the cable and plug.
Aah... it's the "sweetest sounding headphone"!

Original Beyer DT880 from the 1980s with 80 ohm DT250 drivers (slightly more bass and a beautifully liquid and detailed sound) and the vintage "Duny" toilet bag, $1.50 at the local second hand store (church charity).
