Headphone Stands:
Does anyone know of a good stand for me to place my headphones on? I want on that sits on my desk, not one that connects to the side. My price range is $30<

The $29 Woo Audio one maybe? Woo Audio Aluminum Headphone Stand

I use two banana hangers for $0.99 each, a little piece of the stuff you cover your hot water pipes with is placed on the bend so it does not damage headband at all. there is a circular wire base that the excess cord sits nicely in!

check this out: Headphone Stand with Cable Cleat (Hardwood) - eBay (item 260581790140 end time May-06-10 18:35:22 PDT)

I bought one myself; haven't received it just yet, but it looks nice and for a great price. Someone did a review on it here a few days ago

That Woo looks nice, and there is also a decent one available on Jaben's new web store. See the review in my sig of the Linear Designs model, I like it a lot.

$29.99 is a lot of money, you could make one of those if you had a few tools!
seriously - banana hangers ninety-nine cents!

 

[freakydrew]

here is another cheap one, I don't own this one but the hook on the back would be excellent for cord managements

Where can I get them for that cheap? Is there a website that sells banana hangers at such a low price? I am in the US by the way.

I don't know if there is an American version of Home Hardware? maybe Ace, Lowes or such, I got mine in the bargain bin, should have bought more! lol
Dollar stores too.
amazon.com has some around the 10-15 dollar mark

The Omega headphone stand is pretty slick. I'm sure the thread's been gone before; there's also some tips if you Google.

My headphone stand is a cd spindle that I tacked into the wall.

But they were so preeeettyy I didn't read the OP :'(

I wonder if I could get a local woodworking or furniture shop to whip me up stand (not a copy of the Omega, I respect property rights). Could probably do that for $30... but I would probably put some traditional Chinese patterns on it to match the furniture and shoot into the 100's of USD

(edit) Or maybe someone can do a custom stand group buy or something...

Locally, our headphone specialists have stands going for $30-40; $50 for the Audio Technica one. I was going to splurge on the AT one but then again everyone seems to have one... I find an AKG one in HK for $20USD (a hanger, not the K701 one) but it has no cup support (~~~yep

). Had fun looking at the pictures in this post too.

That's such a brilliant idea, I just had to sign up and congratulate you on it. Do you have any pictures you can share?

I think I'm gonna do the same thing, which would have the added bonus of a compartment for headphone accessories and a nice place to store my IEMs.
