I seal the copper with clear sealant so there is never a smell. I generally add a patina. I have a headphone amp in the middle of this one. If I left one with copper shining, I would seal that as well to keep it that way. Copper oxidizes

Really very good stands here, I can't even imagine the artistry needed for some!

Here are my stands and case, all diy spent around $50 bucks. The case is for currently inactive headphones. I swap them out as needed.

I have some extra pieces of quartered oak, I may have to try to make something similar. Maybe copper pipe to hold the headphones. I really like the way you can remove headphones and just drop them onto that peg, nicely done.

Hello, so many amazing creations here.
Wanted to share mine little piece of wood O

Many here seem to not consider headband stretching out and decreasing pressure to head/pads. Just a thought!

I just finished 2 "DIY" headphone stands. I found some neat star pattern tiles from Lowe's for $1.49 each. Used 12" long pieces of Poplar 1" x 2" wood, which was painted with a charcoal colored spray chalk paint. Then, finished up with the satin nickel door stops as the bracket that the 'phones rest on. The hardest part was boring through the porcelain tile - fortunately, I had a leftover $20 diamond "barrel" bit to make the holes neat - along with spritzes of water to keep the bit cool. I plan on making about 4 more to hold the rest of my headphones. I have more star patterned tile along with some other tile pieces to try out too. Each was finished with a 1" x 1" x 1/2" rubber bumper on each corner to protect the shelf surface.

I've had many stands in the past - Woo Audio, etc. But, thought I'd try my talents with all the tools I have to see what I could come up with.

That turned out really nice looking! Good job friend

Tried a few more. Same Poplar pillars, door stops, but a smaller 6" x 6" ceramic tile - unlike the 8" x 8" star tile.

If I were to hang my headphones on my wall, would direct sunlight have any affect on them long term athtetically?

UV degrades everything, unless it specifically has UV stabilizers in the chemicals that make up the pads, headband, plastics, paints, cable insulation, etc.

But even then it’s not the best idea (not to mention the constant heat cycles).

I wouldn’t do it personally, especially if there was another wall close by that wasn’t in the direct sunlight.

It’s like the difference between a car that’s always been garage kept, vs one that was always sitting outside baking in the sun. The garage kept one will be mint.

Thought so, wanted to double check
