anyone else notice this beautiful stand? and only $20? Picked myself up the he 400i's and this beauty of a stand today
I bought two of them. They are not as nice in person as in the picture. I got them about a week ago.
First the plexiglass has some kind of marks on it on both of them. It is not scratches so much as surface clouding or streaks. They look like they may have been caused when they bent the stand into shape. Second one of the pins that the phones hang on was loose in the packaging. It appeared that the threaded part for the cap nut had broken. There was no longer enough length for it to go through the material and engage the nut. It turns out that there is a stud or threaded rod that threads into the hanger pin. I was able to unscrew it enough to engage the nut. All of the nuts were loose and required tightening. The fit of the threaded rod into the pin and nut is very loose. This means you can't torque them too much or you may well strip the threads. Before I use them, I want to get some thread locker and use it on all of the connections. I don't have faith that those pins will not loosen and maybe dump my phones at some point.
These things are OK. They will hold your headphones. Just don't expect a solid well made beautiful display stand... or you will be disappointed.
Of course, the price is pretty cheap for any kind of a headphone stand. I think this is a classic case of getting what you pay for...
