Hi guys,

wanted to create a thread like those in head-fi, we already have a sticky thread for your gears... how about one which is how u actually package your ear/headphones, amp, DAP for EDC(everyday carry)?

pls post pictures of your "portable rig" (including the pouch or bag to hold your stuff?)

they got this famous thread in head-fi where u post picture of your portable n the casing.. and also... im sure all of u have come across it.. tons of inspirations there

(they even put their DAP into those strepsils metal casing with sponged lined inside for shock proofing, and cutting a hole above to plug into your earphone, very creative.. and crumpler mini casing and stuff)

in what pouch or bag do u guys carry your rig in ? lets share your inspirations :)

Posted Image(this is not mine)

above is a pic i saw in head-fi forums, which i think is damn cool... its held in the etymotic pouch... anyone doing the same too ? :)

As for me, the Portable Rig will go into my left side pocket (cargo pants). :)
It's either that or it will be in my hand, spotted by public as suspicous article.
If impressing/being impressed is how it gets you around, forget it. It is not gonna happen.

personally for me i cant really put it somewhere, in bag or pocket..becoz i got this habit of itchy fingers..i will keep tweaking with the volume or skipping tracks or something...

oh ya for those who take thier amp along with thier rigs...

do u guys velcro your amp to your player.. or just let it hang loose and use rubber band to tie ?

What I normally do is to place my source and amp into different compartments in my pouch.
People call me things like nuts, crazy and insane, I just tell them I am very serious when it comes to my hobbies.

What the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

The most important thing in this hobby, sit down with a nice drink and enjoy the music. =]

Hi all,

The paint on my earphones have been peeling off when i don't think i've ever handled it roughly so far, and plus its only like 1 mth ago when i bought em earphones.

Have experienced rackling sound as well.

wonder is it because my pants pocket are quite tight i use the pouch given when i bought my earphones.


Anyone can recommend some box of some sort to store my DAP & earphones in? Best if it includes the location of the shop & possibly price.

Thanks :)
