I think I'm terrified of headphone stands, no matter how good they look. I probably wouldn't take one even if they were free, I'd always get this weird (and probably unfounded) feeling that gravity / headband tension would be compressing the pads while they phones are on the stand.

I can definitely see what you mean. I don't know if I want my grado bowl pads to get compressed so I didn't buy it

I'm sharing the exact opinion... It's like wearing them all the time. I prefer stands that don't touch the pads, I made one myself. I'm also worried about the band loosing the tension. I don't know how soon it would happen but metal do wear over use.

I'm using the walnut one for the T1's and i like it, looks classy and i'm not too worried about the earpads wearing out, they're the same as the day i bought them. If they do go however i'll just get some new pads no big deal. Also the added dustcover is very handy...

I have one holding my T1 and another my Grado RS1. They seem to do a good job - they fit well (especially the T1 - Grado is very slightly dwarfed) and don't over-tension the headbands as far as I can tell. They look good.

 

They do not work for my LCD2 which - with the plugs - are too tall/deep. I plan to DIY a suitable stand in time.

I might if it was on sale for a little cheaper but i'm not sure if it will keep my AKG's headband stretched which wouldn't be great.

That's why I added the price to the Poll, would you buy it if it would only cost € 99,-?

 

Many thanks,



and you dont think 99 euros is expensive for a bit of wood?   im sorry but stands at those sorts of prices can go jump.  its a stand ffs show me on what planet a small lump of wood deserves to cost anywhere near that or are you going to tell it will make my headphones sound better?

I like this stand, especially with wooden headphones. Plus, Jaben tends to give them free here in Singapore with other purchases :)

The zebrawood is cool but there are 4 issues for me:

  1. Footprint- I am finding that stands are taking up too much of my desktop and I dream of a "wire solution" from the ceiling (just bought some Sennheiser clamping holders to try).
  2. Lack of Cable Solution- The cable is the greatest impediment to achieving cleanliness, IMO!
  3. Price- I believe most will work their way through cheaper options unless the stand is "close enough" to warrant the stretch...
  4. Wood Only?- Many will have environments not amenable to wood (even the nice zebrawood).

 

Appreciate the inquiry, it offers us a chance to voice critical factors in our buying decisions.

 

Another thing, I have plenty of ~$13 Rubbermaid hose hooks and they fall over too easily...
