ddHiFi C100 Earphone Case Review – A Big Big Mac

The ddHiFi Carrying Case C100 is a spacious earphone storage with two compartments that features the materials and workmanship of its big brothers C2022 and C2023.

Introduction

ddHiFi are a Chinese company that offer a range of high-quality tech accessories, even earphones and little headphone DAC/amps. They also feature a line of storage devices for our personal Hifi devices. They first introduced the C-2020 case in…well the name gives the year away…followed by two carrying cases with shoulder strap, the C2022 and C2023.

The 2022/2023 models and the C100 are essentially identical in materials and workmanship, but they differ in shape and internal layout. The much smaller C100 also obviously serves a different purpose, as it is designed to hold earphones and accessories such as cable, eartips, and dongles…or any small items.

Physicalities and Functionality

The C100 carrying case is largely made of double-strand nylon on the outside, with cowhide leather at the top and a hardshell bottom at the bottom. Both top and bottom are internally padded to protect the gear from damage when the case is dropped.

The case features two compartments, a thin upper and a roomy lower one. The slim upper compartment is laid out with internal mesh pockets at the top and bottom. It is designed to hold small, flat items such as eartips, dongles, adapters, and iems.

The lower compartment is rather spacious and padded all around. It holds the bulkier items. A divider, attached with velcro (and therefore removable) subdivides the interior space flexibly into four parts. You can probably squeeze 4 pairs of iems in there, provided the cables are not too bulky.

Concluding Remarks

The ddHiFi C100 is a spacious, well shock-protected, flexible, attractive high-quality earphone case that follows the footsteps of its bigger C2022 and C2023 brothers. It is unique enough not having to fear competition. At $26 it is also a good deal.

Until next time…keep on listening!
