Needed a stand that wasn't damaging the HE-500's like the Woo was, so, I built my own in wood shop today. Not perfect, but it'll do!

New headphone rest design with a slot for hanging IEMs.

I love the concept. For me, the wire in the middle joining the top and bottom pieces looks 'flimsey." No disrespect intended at all. If you you make a long piece to join the top and bottom halves and give it rigidity I think it would be fantastic!! I'd certainly buy one.
None taken. Thank you for the inputs, MattTCG. I've actually experimented with various pliable tubes and pipes. The thicker ones make the whole thing look "joined" and very rigid. The concept is to create the illusion of a floating headphone. The triune lines from the thick and wide base move up to and are mellowed and softened by the gracility of a pair of thin yet incredibly strong goosenecks before they terminate in the same 3-points headphone and IEM hanger at the top. (Everything is supposed to be in group of 3s.)
The two metal rods are very stiff and strong. Do not be misled by their appearance. The only reason I employed 2 of them is to prevent the left-right swaying of the headphone rest. Otherwise, one would be more than enough to hold the Hifiman HE500 -- and that's one of the heavier pair of cans in the market today.

Amazing. Simply amazing. You got talent. Should be doing something in the creative field for work?
