Excellent multiple headphones holder:

Ha, thats what my old stand was before I bought 2 of these rockerfishes. I loved the fact that it was all metal and had a solid feel and nice look. I hate the fact that the arms are too close together so that the bottom is too close to the table - but if you use the top, then the cans will rub against the bottom. It isn't smooth edge, so I just put ducktape to soften it...too paranoid to scratch the soft boobies that rest on my ears on my D2000 =P
 
The new rocketfish are more simple, looks nice if you just have 1 main phone you use.

The B & B stand has served me well--and it holds many more than a single headphone.

If you guys want something that holds multiple headphones then look for necklaces stand.
 
I bought this for about $10 at Michaels.

With the M50's close to $100 on Amazon, do you guys think it's still a good/best buy? I know, lately, people have come out saying that for the new price ($150), it's no longer the bang for your buck king it once was. Is it still a good studio monitor to have around in one's collection or should we move on? I am tempted to pick up a pair because it's been on my list for a while (since it appears on pretty much any top 10 you find).

For some people and preferences, but with the KRK KNS8400 at about the same price at Amazon ($110 shipped), the M50 doesn't look as good.

Yes, they are worth it at the price. 150 was always the average selling price on Amazon for these ? Its headphone month on Amazon hence the cheap pricing.

For the price, it is very good. But when you get to better headphones you'll find out what you missed.

Beyer T1 has been dropping in price on Amazon since yesterday. Started at retail ($1400), currently at $1208. Not sure how good of a deal it is, but it is for a brand new pair sold by Amazon.

 
You can get a brand new pair of T1s and one of his amps for less than the Amazon price if you buy the package deal at Meier audio. It comes out to like $1150 plus shipping for the T1s and Jan's new Rock amp.

Woot has the Jlabs J3 Jbuds for $10.99 plus $5 shipping.

Brigs back memories of when I used to use my Jbuds. I thought they were so great. Then I got the CKM50 and threw the Jbuds away
