Here's my latest headphone stand...built it this weekend. The heads are from a ceramic thing I got at Ikea awhile ago.

Now that are some freaky heads. They would certainly frighten me just sitting in the dark like that. *yeah, I'm not a horror movie guy...

looks like a real nice listening station. love the backdrop. i also recognize that chair. my wife and i tried it out while sofa shopping one day. probably the most comfy chair i've ever sat in.

We got the chair via Craig's List...moving sale...got a nice deal on it too

Yeah it's super comfy and my dog can get up on it too and snuggle with me.

I love some of these stands. It makes we want to bust out the skill saw and make one for myself. I'm still using the case that my hd650's came in.

The stands are LG brand satellite speakers stands that guy threw in for free when I bought home theatre Panasonic receiver + all these fancy plastic surround sound speakers that came with it.They've been collecting dust until I got an idea to use them as headphone stands. Originally the L-shaped top was around 6" high, with several holes in it (possibly to accomodate for different types of speakers).
First I thought I just bend the L metal bit in vice, but who would do that for a special, woodied Darths?
I paid visit to the local wood-turner guy who makes all sort of touristy souveniers from the aussie hardwood (btw he's Canadian) and he's got these wine bottle stoppers turned to the beautifuly smooth finish from red-gum (eucalyptus) tree.
I had to trim the overly long taper, which I did with hacksaw + fine metal cutting blade...Cut off the top of the metal L bit., filed, drilled countersunk hole where I wanted it, drilled hole in the centre of wooden bit and screwed it together.

Lad27, nice job on the stand. They look great, if I didn't say so already.

What do you guys think about this one? It came up on Audiogon (sold). The curved top piece is a bit too wide but I find the overall design very appealing. It looks like the height is adjustable as well. I can just imagine what sjt (Steve) could do with it. There's more shots of it from different angles in the listing.

I just ordered this toilet paper stand since I don't have a lot of desk space. I'll let you know how it works out.

Some good idea's I got from here. Some are really nice looking. Nice job guys

I am busy making a stand that is very similar in concept. I will post pics once it is finished, probably this Friday.

Some good stuff here! I think I spent an hour going through all the posts and pics on this thread. I'm going to get with my brother in law tomorrow and see if he can help (well actually just make) me a nice headphone stand out of flame maple.

I got some good ideas from this thread.

My headphones are on display in the closet because they've been banished from my sight (I don't like headphones much):



(and no, I didn't put them there just for this picture, that's where I actually have them right now)
