THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD
Dec 24, 2015 at 7:00 PM Post #3,511 of 3,874
What's a really easy and inexpensive way to create a stand for many pairs of headphones? I was thinking of something like a large wooden triangle (imagine a giant toblerone) but can't think of a product or box that comes in this shape. Any ideas / links to existing posts along these lines? I want to store about six pairs.

 
Search on ebay for "chrome table leg" and bolt it horizontally to your wall or make up a couple of supports for each end so it will sit on the desk.
 
Spotted this it looks like it might be adapted easily for headphone storage.

I tried the first one (or one VERY similar) in the past...too light/flimsy...tipped over.  Might be OK glued to a ceramic floor tile or something like that.  Read the 1-star and 2-star reviews on Amazon.
 
The second one looks like a good suggestion...if you are next to a wall.  Similar but for better quality:

Here are some floor standing models which might work well for mulitple HPs.

Oh crud I totally Forget about you guys!
 
I finally perfected my DIY Headphone Stand, I got the cost down to around $10 [it's gone up since WalMart stopped making my favorite banana stands!] 
 
here's a few pics of my headphones with the stand 
 

 

 

 
Ideally, the only thing I'd like to do next, is sand the finish of them an stain them black. An Maybe do some electrical Tape around the sides of the Foam to sure of the seam. It can pull up from the edge of the stand with weight
 
But it's a banana stand an some Door Weather Insulation strips! I dig the look honestly, an I love the price. I've got 6 of them now, they are a HUGE step forward from the old Sock Wrapped method I used to have back in the day, an the padding is perfect imo!

  ^^^^
That looks nice and simple.

Right, I don't know why it took me so long to figure that out <.< when the Banana Hangers were in stock I over complicated it, when it became harder to find ones that work then I simplified 
 
I still need to find a better way to cushion the tops, though the new brand I use has a slightly wider top part, giving the adhesive cushion strip a wider surface so that may be it's own solution. I just need to sand them all down an stain they a single color an they'll be perfecto ish

So, after deciding that, despite the fact that I will always prefer the look of a factory produced product because of the overall quality and finish, I was going to actually try to make my own headphone stand (also because I can't afford to buy 3 nice stands anyway xD), I set out to Lowes with a rough idea and a hope that it wouldn't be a god awful as I dreaded it might be. I perused various doodads and connectors, stands, furnishings, pvc pipes, etc... and after several hours I decided to go with a fairly simple idea that I thought would manage to look decent. I went home happy and proud. That was until today when I went to put the whole thing together and found that it wasn't going to work in any way shape or form. I was mad that I even bothered in the first place, and almost resolved to just go and buy something else (personal projects are not my thing :p). But I didn't, and returned back to Lowes to find a solution, which I managed to do. After putting it together, have more problems with mounting the stupid thing, and my meager supply of patience running low (personal projects REALLY aren't my thing xD), I finally got it all together. This is the result. Despite my reservations, I am quite pleased with how they turned out :3

Please forgive the picture quality, I'm no photographer :p

Nice idea

I agree that's a really good idea! I actually have to... very unique Command Strip hooks [like seriosuly I had to go to like 7 stores to find this exact one] for my cheaper an smaller headphones :3

I have my HD650 in this table lamp, I have not made the time to make a nice headphone rack.
 


I just put it that way to take the pic but the light is not direct into the amp when listening.

It generally works that way. I was glad they had these at all because I needed one with a curl on the bottom to hang the cables from. It seems like Murphy's Law is in full effect whenever you really need to find something very specific xD But I had the K553 Pro's on a pillow on a bench in front of my piano, and my 400's in one of my dresser drawers, so it needed to be remedied :p
