Brainwavz do a number of decent looking stands

easyrider · 22 Feb 2015 at 14:29

I like my stand it's got a cyberman vibe to it...

Mug trees work well

^^^

Yup, that's the one

I don't really see the point of spending money headphone stands.
However, this was a present for me, and it is in fact very nice....
Think it's £35 on OCUK. A lot of money still.

yeah not cheap but it's well made you can't fault the workmanship that's gone into it.

It was a Christmas present so I don't mind, but I'd never have paid £15 for a bit of curved plastic myself!

The best part is the back of the box says it "offers great value for money".

I use these ones. I got the one in dark wood. Expensive as hell though and shipped from Germany I think.

They are pretty nice, expensive as ****, but nice.

Generally speaking, avoid any headphone stand that compresses the ear pads (like the Omega style ones) and/or has a very narrow or sharp contact surface with the headband.

That's some serious gear you have there! What speakers are those? Ribbon tweeters are nice if I'm right in the assumption

i use mug trees with toilet roll tubes over the top branch. stops them digging into the soft headphone bands.

Psycho Sonny · 24 Feb 2015 at 20:59

mug tree beats anything else out there in the bang for your buck, they also look a lot better than a banana holder, etc.

i have the same one as angst and for £4.50 out your local supermarket, i don't see why you would buy anything else. I have a fancy one i got free from massdrop but i've never used it once.

Spend £££s on headphones, hang them on a mug-tree with no support for the headphone band... Riiiight.

Even if you build your own you can get better "bang for buck" and better performance than a mug tree!

Headphones weigh literally nothing so i wouldn't worry about needing lots of support for the headband when hanging it, if they cant support there own weight like that without breaking then i would be worried about the quality and maybe not buy them again.

My two are quite happy on the mug tree, the K702 headband is a flat leather strap and the HD650 has a small notch in the centre of the headband that fits the arm perfectly

Nothing beats my glass vase!
