Hi there guys and girls,
I bought 3 stands, and was wondering what you guys think of them.
Now why create the thread, as everyone has different tastes?
Its not about the look, but if the stands will damage the headphones or not.
-I find that the metal one is very sturdy, however seems to be putting strain on the headband - does this matter?
-Wooden with "branches" isn't stable enough, due to it being reasonably lightweight it seems to want to fall over when you put headphones on the lower branches
-Wooden "stick" is perfect for the XB700's and I'm thinking of keeping it, however for the D2K's it doesn't seem to fit perfectly - what do you guys think?
Possibly other cheap alternatives? So now why did I put ASAP in the title...?
Well its because I'm leaving the UK in 2 days - in France its literally impossible to find things like this, and online, I would have to pay at least £5-6 shipping charge on things that I blindly see on the internet - whereas here I can actually try before I buy. As you can see I didn't take the tags off for a reason - in case I want to take them back.
I want to keep the price under £20 too, so bear that in mind - I bought the wooden "stick" one for £7.50, the metal one for £16 and the wooden branches one for £12.50 - so as you can see cheap, but useful.
I'm also in the EU/UK region so US things won't do!
FYI for the UK people:
Metal ones can be bought from the kitchen section (on receipt as cookshop) at Debenhams
Wooden ones can be found in the kitchen section (on receipt as kitchen accessories) at House of Frazer (they were on sale there at the moment -> Birmingham)
I'm thinking of keeping the metal one for the d2k's, the wooden stick one for the XB700's and returning the wooden branch one, as it won't be used + is not really stable.
Here are pictures, and I hope someone will shed me some light
UPDATE:
I'll be returning the wooden with branches, and the metal one:
Metal: Because it leaves a mark on the headband on the XB700's and on the D2K's- i rather not ruin that padding up top - I saw what 1 hour on it could do...let alone 1 month
Wooden branches: Doesn't hold the weight properly at all times, don't want an accident to happen
So what now?
Keep the wooden with stick - have D2K's on it for time being, and search via internet or in france for a DIY/headphone stand solution

As you can see its pressing down on the head padding...is this bad?
