I posted some Ikea based stands a long time ago here. Here's my latest Ikea stand. About $20. Extremely easy to build, although you do need a drill.

Very nice and excellent instructions Allan. I may do the same but most likely I will make my own base. Also great choice of headphones, I use Utopias with amps I design.

Most likely a rainbow poplar and purple heart base for me. Or tiger maple and white walnut.

I have every intent of including headphone racks with my custom amps so just matching the base seems like a very good way to go and a lot of friends want free hanging racks, such as the one you show.

I love the vent holes. This is perfect after a hot listening session :)

Aren't the edges of the holes too sharp?
I've had several headphones on which the padding was very sensitive and the paint was peeling off.
Not an issue for me. I don’t think the holes are sharp at all.

First photo I used a black towel holder and added Fat Gripz — these are the ones you attach to the barbell or dumbell to increase the grip size. This gives the headphones a bigger surface area to hang on to.

Also hung an Ikea Eket cabinet with glass door to protect my planars from dust. lit it up from inside and it’s a proper display case.

arriving tomorrow from Amazon is a wooden laptop riser that will fit the Hugo TT2 perfectly so it gets a nice pedestal and good protection from potential coffee spills on the desk. it will match the rest of the wood tones. Will take a picture when it arrives. I hope it works.

Starting work on a headphone stand now that I have two sets of over ears - HE400i 2020 and Fostex T60RP.

It's a vinyl flooring plank. It's bending better than I thought it would :D

Will have a timber block base upholstered in red leather, a notch for the second pair, and maybe a shelf for the amp/dac

found a nice wood arch piece, to finally complete my banana-tree headphone stand.

the wood arch piece is available from amazon. Brand name is YangMei (but that is probably just the name of the store). price was $10 when purchased.
with goose-neck style (has a 2" vertical drop) metal piece:

with L shaped metal piece:
https://www.amazon.com/Headphone-He...ywords=headphone+stand&qid=1629496308&sr=8-73

The wood looks to be black walnut, surface finish is clean and smooth.

Mount one of these wood arches atop a 1.75L Bombay Sapphire bottle => cool blue headphone stand. Somebody ought to try it.

A combination copper and cherry headphone stand/lamp I threw together when I needed more light.

Top pic is a four headphone stand in copper and oak.

I cheated a bit, this was done on a 3-d printer.

Nice. Any chance you happened to make it like Mr. Potatohead - interchangeable facial features:smile:
Nope lol but I did some simple ones.9F38C079-0DB9-4132-8FDB-8788BAC976E1.jpeg
