This is a great bag. I disagree with the other reviewer about this bag not standing up on its own, it wobbles a little but you really have to push it for it fall over. Mine certainly doesn't fall over on its own whether empty or full. I've used it to go record shopping out of town and for a couple gigs for short sets and it's great. Super well made and for the price I expected a nice bag. I did consider the Shure bag but I read in reviews and heard from people who have it that the backpack straps are uncomfortable. Also I'm not a huge fan of the giant white shure branding on it. This bag has a barely readable Magma logo in red on black and is very unobtrusive. I also like that the sides have adjustable straps, when the bag is open and standing I can tuck the flaps that cover the records under the side straps for easy access to the records inside. And when it's less than full I can tighten the straps so the records don't move around in the bag. It's definitely a stretch to fit headphones in the front pocket, but I'll be pairing this with a trolley bag that will hold everything else and this has a strap to slide over the handle of a trolley bag which is really convenient. I have a turntable upstairs for listening and two downstairs for DJing and this bag is great for bringing records back and forth between my record players in addition to the other things I use it for. I'm really happy I bought this.
