Greetings everyone.

I just received my new K701's and look foward to experiencing them.

I have two headphones, now, these and an old pair of Sony, MDR CD550's.

I'm wondering if there's any resource for headphone stands, either as products for sale, or a site from which to gain ideas?

Any and all info, appreciated!

thanks,

John

I found a wig stand on ebay, which is a glass life sized human head ... I just couldn't resist. That's what I use as my K-1000 stand.

There are some great ideas here; thank you all!

I hope we can keep them coming!

SimpJee, I love the wig holder idea; only, as I have two headphones, I'd need two heads. Well, I guess they always say, two heads are better than one! lol Unfortunatley, they will not fit on my tiny table.

Thank you all ... more to come, I hope.

I bought this stand recently on a whim and found 2 things I didn't like about it:

1. The top bit of the stand is actually quite sharp and with time (and if you aren't careful) it can damage your headband. It's not actually the part the headband rests on, it's the two metal bits sticking out on either side.

2. Rubber feet would be nice.

Get a mannequin head off eBay. Headphones are designed to be on a head, anyway.

I think banana stands are beautifully minimilistic!

Banana stands?

I'd agree that mannequin heads would be ideal and cool looking, too; however, I only have a small table and two pair of headphones.

I'm in the same situation and I'm looking for a headphone stand for the AT headphones coming in.

Because the AT's are built differently has anyone been able to hang the AT on the Wooaudio headphone stand? Just not sure if the headphone stand is wide enough at the top to support the two metal peices on the AT headphone.

They would sit on the rods and not the two headrests, but honestly I think they'd work very well for you. They have a nice heavy base, and are pretty stable. If they work for the big K340s (they do), they should work fine for ATs.

Thanks Steve, just needed some confirmation before I went out and ordered one. Could the aluminium rods in anyway be scratched by the stand?
