THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD

[kingoftown1]

Don't want to get your headphones too toasty!

But think how nice, on a cold January day - to have pre-warmed earpads...

If you build your amp right, you'll have the whole house warmed up already

 

[liamstrain]

True... my little EF2A makes a nice hand warmer here on my desk..

and how nice, on a dark and rainy day to look at the wonderful warm and soft light of a  tube... thinking that, sometimes, life is great enough,
great enough to fall asleep listening to dvorak's cello concerto... great enough to be loved and respected...
 
 
EDIT: yes I love tubes

Hey guys, here's my first headphone stand design. I drew this up in Illustrator and cut it out of foam core board, as a physical mock-up. I will CNC this design out of wood for the final product. I wanted to keep it real simple, possibly no glue needed, just slide the pieces into place

 

I'm very much inspired by this design. I think I might make one out of hard cardboard to replace the hook on the wall.

A Daiso store opened up nearby (Japanese dollar store) and I went to have a look. I found these bag hanger things that work quite well as headphone hangers hanging from my bookshelf.

More complicated power source. But... custom case for a Tube amplifier, with an integrated headphone stand and offset tube mounts... you might be onto something. 

An integrated headphone amp/stand would make so much sense!

...please mind the gap...

Why make it more complicated than it actually is, right?

I don't know, the tube would be a nice option, but still i personally would prefer a traditional light bulb, as is looks more minimalist. 
In that case, i would make the round holder, white, in order to highlight the lamp more.

Ha! Love the vintage Yamaha orthos hanging next to the Senn's. On the stand next to my bed I have a pair of YH-2's next to a pair of HD600's.

P.s. Did you re-cable the Yamaha's?

Yep, the original cable had gone all stiff, so they've been re-cabled. I'm also making a new headband but struggling a bit with my sewing skills and getting the pleather to look nice and fit right.

I sold one of these the other day, and it instantly reminded me of this thread. Has anyone ever thought of creating a stand similar to it?

Simple, cheap and lots of potential for modding.
