Do many folks here use stands when storing their headphones? I'm curious because commercially-made headphone stands seem to be fairly scarce. The only offerings that I know of are the ones from Stax (the HPS-1 and HPS-2).

In other forum threads, I've seen people using everything from mannequin heads to coat racks. My HD 1000 Charlestons came with a bent wire stand (similar to the one seen in a couple of photos in one of Greenhorn's old threads ), and the closest thing available these days is a banana hanger.

This is my banana *cough* I mean headphone hanger

Glass head from Pier 1 Imports. Looks real cool if you have a 'modern' or eclectic home. I'm thinking of edge lighting mine from the bottom for that 'freak!' effect.

Does the glass head flatten headphone pads? If so I rather get a banana hanger.

Here is another banana hanger if anyone is intereted. I think Cooking.com stopped carrying their own.

I just use banana hangers, too. You can do a Google search and find some nice looking hangers/stands out there.

I think I'll go check out the banana hanger that you linked to. There's a Linen 'N Things store close by me.

However, I've had my eye on this one from Canadian Tire, though. Kind of classy looking, eh?

Edit: fixed link

Banana hangers look nice, but is there anything that can accomodate 2 or 3 headphones?

 

[Trawlerman]

I wonder if anybody keeps Bananas on Heaphone stands?

(don't mind me...... was just a' thinkin out 'loud)

If you really wanted, you could likely mount 3 banana hangers back to back.

Someone in another thread mentioned that he uses a coat tree to hold multiple headphones. Personally, I was thinking that a mug tree would work well.

By the way, I bought a couple of the Canadian Tire banana hangers that I mentioned earlier. They work great! I have to say that they look much classier than the stock stand that came with my Sennheiser HD 1000s.

I drilled a hole in the side of my desk, and glued a thick matching wood peg in it. Simple, and gets the job done while looking nice. I like it very much. They were a lot of desk clutter!!

<will post pics some other time. Too late at this point tonight.>

Maybe I'll consider making one for myself.

I have some wood stain, clearcoat and a dremel. I'm sure I can get something cheap and decent looking done. Mine currently sit on top of my L desk and on top of my computer's tower.

@ Demolition...

I noticed that you hang your headphones by those thick wires above the actual headband part. Are those made of metal on yours? For my A900's I think it is just a plastic that covers the cables... but that would be the only way of actually hanging them. However, I am worried that they weigh too much to hang them on those two wires at the top, and that eventually they would bend the wires...

I think a banana hanger is in order for me, but I just don't want to wreck my new headphones.

Are there any other a900 owners that hang their headphones up on something similar?

i don't have A900s, but i use a banana hanger for my W1000s with no trouble. I seem to remember of another member here hanging his A900s on a banana hanger wothout trouble, but i don't remember who. If the A900s are anything like the W1000s, then you shouldn't have any trouble.
