Hey guys, just thought I would share this with you...
I was looking around for quite sometime for an inexpensive headphone stand, but wasn't having any luck so I knew I had to go DIY. I first tried the hose hook that a lot of members had success with, but it was too short for the LCD-2's. I also was held back at the idea of a stand in the first place, because the LCD-2's are heavy, and if it's on a stand for a while, I could imagine the headband pad getting compressed to paper thin.
So I came up with an idea. It requires a cabinet pull ($6), one 10" cut of wood, one 7" cut of wood ($3 for both pieces of wood, and you can have the guys at Home Depot cut it), 3-5 nails($2-3), spray paint ($1-3), and some super/gorilla glue ($1-5).
Here are some pics:
The big plus with the stand, is that the only point of contact is on the cabinet pull (which I'm going to cover with some sort of fabric for protection) and the metal brim of the headband. So it makes no contact with the headband pad, to save its shape, and it also makes no contact with the leather ear pads, also saving their shapel. There is also no contact with the cable at all.
I think it looks pretty slick too, more like a display stand.
So in the end, it makes it a nice/safe/cheap way to keep from having to always put your LCD-2's away or laying them down on a surface.
