Made this today with the Home Depot Rubbermaid Hose Hook, PVC, and some felt. I think it turned out well.

  Aww yiss, Logitech Z2300. Sometimes overwhelming bass is a good thing :)

 
I love those speakers. When properly EQ'ed they're great. I recently tried moving to a monitor setup but the lack of bass threw me off so I went back to the Z-2300.

  It may be because I am new, but when I click on the add photo, it indicates that I do not have permission to access the page.  Beats me.  Maybe someone can educate me.  
 
So, I have attempted to provide my DIY via this shared Evernote Note:  https://www.evernote.com/shard/s218/sh/5836c1ae-fce7-44bc-8c7d-97700f16b9aa/b8d368f36a144e525b425dda1a68fdcd
 
I now await the education and hopefully some commentary for my half finished stand.

So, I am quoting myself (my ego has no bounds).  I did make this.  But, after some time, both the HE500s and AKG 702s pads had some deformation.  Not permanent, but still bothered me.  Grados seem to hang such that contact is minimized, although split cable management is a bit of a pain.  Just feedback to others interested.  
 

 
My solution was to build this.
 

 
Pulled back.
 

 
And thought that I should share.  I used 1 1/4 inch black pipe.  Flange, six inch nipple and cap.  chose it so that headphone weight might have a greater displacement (should be minimal since we are talking about two curved surfaces of differing diameters).  The 1 1/4 pipe parts are more expensive than the lesser diameter.  I would have chosen 4 inch nipples but my hardware store only had 3 and then 6.  I think 4 would have been perfect.  Piece of pine, 12 x 1 x 36 inches from the garage.
 
For now, it is a "prototype."  I would want to put this on a more narrow but thicker (for aesthetics) piece of walnut.  It could even be a rough piece on the edges.  I might adjust it so that it is horizontal.  I will put Grados (SR80 and GS1000) on the Codia-copy stand.  The AKG's at the top hang from the plastic loops so that the elastic isn't strained while hanging - maybe making the elastic last longer.  But, sliding the AKG over the cap required manipulation, not just an "easy slide-on."
 
I built a standing desk out of black pipe and poplar.  works well if you don't have metal working skills.

Headphone stand, you say?
 

 
That gives a whole new meaning to Headphoneus Supremus.
