THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD

I don't actually keep my cables like that. I just did that for the picture. Normally I just loosely wind the cables in my hand and hang them on the posts. Sometimes the plugs will fall due to gravity, so I will drop the plug into the headphone cup.

I thought so. But aside from cable rolling, your stand looks amazing and very doable. I still think we need to think of a way to fight off dusts.



This used to be black. If you see what i mean...

I'm thinking of doing an IEM/earbud style one to make my earbud collection a little more manageable. Has anyone tried this before? My challenges will be accommodating ~20 sets while being convenient and looking nice.
 
Thinking it might involve lots of very small hooks..

I did mine with a bunch of small hooks, it works well as long as you coil them up between each use (zip ties work, but I prefer the strings that you just twist on to keep it tidy). If you want a more aestetic look though, I did draw up some small sketches for a more elaborate design. I just got to impatient to actually getting around to making it.

Thanks for the inspiration. I am hoping to incorporate some sort of clip to keep them from unravelling.  Something like this...

That could work,. However a lot of wires just want to twist and such so the only real way to lock them down is by using a couple of hooks together, that or somethng like zip ties to keep them together. I would love for your method to work though as it would surely simplify the way I'll make my future IEM stand.

Hmmm. neat idea! Maybe if i find one big enough premade for a nice price...


I found this one on gearbest if youre still looking. It's not the nicest looking thing in the world, but I think I'm going to copy the concept for my own design at least.
