What's the consensus on headphone stands, if any?  If not, are there specific models best avoided?
 
I'm looking for stands to hold probably 3 sets of cans on my desktop.  My desktop is bigger than some, at 72" long, but I'm still somewhat limited on space, so a small footprint would be nice.  OTOH, I don't want something that just hangs them from a peg or a narrow platform with square edges.
 
I like the look of the Omega-style stands, but frankly don't want to pay for Sievekings and wonder about the quality of other brands that I see on Amazon.  
 
The other one I have my eye on at the moment is the Woo Audio two-can stand.  Probably 2 of them.
 

 
What other options would you guys recommend?
 
Thanks!

Build one.

You get exactly what you need for a fraction of the cost and can make it exactly how you want it.

There's a whole thread here devoted to DIY stands:

Thanks, zoo.  Some interesting ideas in there.

Sure thing.

PVC is probably the easiest way to start out, then progress from there.

I would say go with the Woo Audio HPS-TB Dual Headphone Stand. This thing is heavy and looks great.

Thanks, Groovy.  That's still what I'm leaning toward.

Just an FYI if you are thinking about buying any new headphones, if you buy them from woo depending of the price of the headphones they throw in a stand.. on some even that dual stand is a no cost option.

That's a piece of useful knowledge, is what that is, because I am indeed thinking about buying another set of cans.

Welp, Woo Audio stands it is.

If you want an additional headphone stand in the future, but cheap, I use this one.

You will like the Woo Audio stand, be warned owning it will make you want to buy new cans to put on it. But then so will reading anything at Head-Fi.

Heh.  And I ordered 2 doubles (in silver).
 
OTOH, I'm ordering them because I already have cans with no place to hang, so there won't be any vacancies tempting me to fill them with new cans.

Now you tell me!

If you need any other off desk hangers my favorites are Brainwavz Hengja and Truss, both metal and the best for the money. I have used all cheap plastic and expensive plastic and these two are the best. When I used the Truss I did drill holes when I mounted it under a shelf over my old desk. Bottom line is these are metal and less than $15.00 each.

They look sturdy.
