I prefer my $400+ headphones on my stands rather than just lying around.

Imo it's not about saving deskspace, it's a piece of furniture thats supposed to look nice with your phones. Could just hang it on the wall if I wanted to save desk space!
Why shouldn;t the cushions be under any pressure?, I hate it when I just let it hang, then the headband tightens and I have to untighten it again when I put them on not to get headaches. ;P

Sweet buddy! I love the industrial design, and the frontward slope. Are you about ready to move down here and go into business with me?

Old Thread Revived!
Ran a google for DIY headphone stands and found this thread.. awesome site, just confirmed that once again.
Anyway, heres mine: It used to be one of those up-close mirrors, but I unscrewed the mirror, bent the metal frame slightly, and put some rubber on the base. Now its a poor mans DIY dual-phone metal stand!

I've been contemplating a stand, and I thought damn, I'll have to move the lava lamp. But it actually makes a good stand
Wouldn't use it as a stand while it's on and hot though...

Cheapest Banana Hanger Ever
I swear I have found the cheapest banana hangers ever. I was initially looking at bed, bath, and beyond and linen&things and only found ones that were either $20 or broken. So I went over to Walmart and looked around their kitchen section. Guess what I found for $5. This has to be the cheapest stand around. The quality is even better than the ones I found at bb&b and lnt. For anyone who doesnt have a stand yet you now have no excuse.
BTW, this was at a supercenter so I'm not 100% certain that the smaller ones carry these. For $5 my pricey headphones don't have to rest on my desk anymore.

I thought this was the 'DIY headphone stand' thread......... not the 'buy the cheapest thing you can find to hang headphones on' thread.....

Lol. Would it count as DIY if I said I sanded down a rough patch on it?

I totally have an idea for a stand, I'll try and get pictures of a beginning tommorow, some of you may laugh, but I think it's a "unique" idea .

That is very nice. I have looked and looked and looked for banana hangers but I can't find any. My partner found a neat cup holder the other day that works great as it has a center wood post with two opposite hangers so I can hang two headphones and then there are two lower posts that work very well for the cable. I mentioned the great banana hanger you showed here and she said, "I found what you needed". Yes but this is HeadFi and the quest never ends!
