Headphone Stands

Greenlizard0 · 26 Jun 2008 at 17:22

After a wee bit of googling I can only really find banana stands that are used to hold a good pair of cans up. There's also one by Sennheiser but it appears they don't sell them on their own.

I myself use a fruit stand, and after having knocked it across my room just now am wondering what else is out there? What do you fellas have?

Another alternative is a glass head headphone stand, that is selling for £23, that I found on a hi-fi web site:

yeah but you cannot hang a banana on a head when using the headphones

mrk, I was going to get a similar stand but I didn't want it to leave a "groove" in the Beyer's headband padding. Has it done anything to the headband on your 555s?

Not that I've noticed, there is a slight groove but it feels like it left the factory like that as 2 pads!

LOL

My solution is a little more 'ghetto' involving a TV bracket, a bicycle spanner and a bit of coat hanger.

EDIT: Don't ask why there's a hole cut in the poster. Long story.

Ah, that's what I thought. I guess it makes it like the HD600s and HD650s which come with a "groove".

There is one place which stocks the Sennheiser headphone holder in the uk if you look closely

'Sennheiser HH 10 (HH10) Headphone Holder'

Some more lovely holders below though they come at a price.

I use velcro.

Nailed a strip to the wall, then just loop a strip round the headband and stick them to the wall, and just unvelcro when needed.

Thanks for the replies fellas, keep them coming and post your pics too

I have a banana stand atm but it's not very elaborate and I swear the part that holds my headphones up has warped the bars of my AT's.

I'm very tempted to get a head shaped thing. I might ask a shop if they have a spare mannequin (sic) going lol

£15 on a well known auction site. Is that a plastic sucker used to attach or a screw device just for mic stands?

I had thought about just taking the stand out and selling the cans to try and get as much as possible back. However after taking postage into account and (if it doesn't sell e.g. here) eBay listing fees (therefore paypal fees too) then it's not really worth it in my opinion.
