I reckon it'll look nicer in black, rattle can it.

Another option people use for holding headphones is a banana stand

Bay of the E - £6 ish. My Sennheiser 650s sit on this happily.

My headphone stand currently consists of a bit of 3-ply approx. 1inch by 8 inches ... this goes under the LCD TV stand at one end sticks out over the side of the unit the TV is on (in a direction where it cannot be knocked) at the other.

The headphones are just hung off it

Total cost .... £0 (the bit of wood was an off-cut included in the packaging of some flat-pack furniture at some point).

my sister had a smoked glass version of that head and it looked amazing, cant find them anywhere now.

I don't know why you want a severed head in your room.... They look odd.

I like the sennheister desk mountable ones the best

.. they cost me a small fortune..

Here's my effort

I have a kitchen roll holder for my DT880s and just use the stand my K701s came with.

Would be nice to try and make a double sided one to save space though.

Because it's not a severed head

.

I need a headphone stand...any recommendations as to ones that can just be bought? The DIY ones don't look that great, as demonstrated above *ducks* and since my DIY skills are lacking in this area, making my own would not be wise.

Like this? Or more smoked?

Mine just hang off picture hooks on the wall. Does the job perfectly. I'll post pics up later when I've got time.

A lot darker than that and a lot better looking too. I have tried for ages to find one but this was around 18 years ago when she had it so chances of finding one now are very very slim.

Haha they are costing me one too with all the dac cable and amp buying. I miss my SSD though

danza · 5 May 2010 at 21:22

I was going to make a stand, but they'll take up too much desk space, and the picture hooks do a fine job (plus the hooks were already there, so all I had to do was bend them a bit

). The 580s at the top are my favourite cans. I like the 701s, but I need a good few hours to get re-used to them after having a break and using the Senns.
