I don't really understand why anyone would want a headphone case without any crush protection, the type of damage that headphones are most prone to. A hard-shell case in this form factor would have been great, this seems like a missed opportunity to me.

autoteleologyI dunno, I have a Slappa case and a MrSpeakers case, and while they’re hard-shell (and the red MrSpeakers case is particularly attractive IMO), they bend without too much finger force, and I think they would collapse and allow headphones to be crushed just the same if they were in my backpack and I fell on them.
However, I DON’T think crush protection is anywhere near the type of damage headphones are most prone too. Far more likely it is to scratch an earcup, get them wet, crimp a cable, roll over parts with a chair, have a pet go for it, have a pen poke it or try to spill on it, etc. I travel about 6-7 times a year, backpack only (it’s the BEST way to fly), and I’m more worried about an explosion/leak of shaving cream or toothpaste than crushing.
The reason I buy cases is similar to why I buy a headphone stand: to organize my stuff and keep all the accoutrements together in one place so I don’t forget or lose them. Compared to other cases, this actually has pockets, and my camera bags are too small for full-size headphones.

EvshrugI think your point about keeping things together is spot on.

- Slappa / MrSpeakers cases are also soft-shell cases, they're just not as soft as this... lunch bag thing. Google Images "hard shell case", you mostly get images of things like the Pelican cases.
- Crush protection is what differentiates a good case from throwing your headphones in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag, which would also prevent all of the forms of damage you mentioned and would cost about five dollars for a couple dozen at your local grocery store. This case prevents less damage than the Ziploc bag (which is air-tight and waterproof).

autoteleologyYeah, well a pelican case would be good for shipping (I’m well aware of pelican cases), and you can use a a ziplock if you want. Heck, you could probably fit this case inside a ziplock or pelican bag.
I’m far, far more concerned about drops and scratches, which some sandwich baggie would do nothing for. And a pelican would need the foam inside to provide drop impact protection, and to keep things organized and from rattling around, you would either need to chop up the foam to fit ONE headphone, or get the foam in small bars if you want something modular to suit different contents.
It depends on where the headphone is. In my house, I want something to organize the accessories and store whatever headphone is not in use, ideally something that can hang in the closet/shelf/hook. I have several headphones, so it’s best for the case not to be specific to one. I also want to keep out the cat and dust, and be splash-proof from my wife’s drinks (love her, but it’s a real concern). Traveling, I need a case in/strapped to a backpack, or able to sit in a guest room. I’m not worried about it getting crushed in a backpack or suitcase, but I do want all the bits and pieces together so I can take my “kit” out to listen in my room, and store all the pieces so I don’t lose anything. Same organizational ethos with an office, maybe more strongly so, also enough rain protection if I need to carry it in-hand to a taxi or train station. Now, shipping headphones freight, yep I would want crush resistance and a pelican. If I was on a boat or yacht (Not any time soon!), also would want a pelican!
Might also want a pelican in this world:

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
