The Zoom H6 is a beast of a recorder, but its modular design and protruding capsules make it a nightmare to toss into a backpack unprotected. I’ve seen far too many XY capsules snapped off because of poor storage. Finding the right case isn’t just about padding; it’s about balancing accessibility with ruggedness. Whether you…
