Gregoirepat: Very very nice. It seems like a classy wood version of the woo audio stand, and I LIKE that.

Here's my take on the DIY stand. It's beefy, but is pretty bulky compaired to the H style stands. It's stained red oak bass with a 1.5" poplar dowel cut at a 45 and rejoined, then painted. I'm still working on it, the plan is to put on the part where the headphone rests an oak donut over the rod, and a circular oak end-cap, with felt in between... We'll see though

congratulations, you just saves $350 by making your own stand rather than buying one from headphile.

Thank you for the kind comparison, if only I could do the same thing with my wooden headphone cups

Thanks! I just Finished the gloss coat so here are a few more pictures, including one with the cord wrapped around the knob. I used my IEM cord because the 10 foot thick cable of the ATH-M50 didn't look so great on the knob.
 

 

 

 

 
Sorry for all the pictures, I got a little carried away.

Thought I'll share this. Made completely from recyclable materials found around the house. Shabby looking, but works fine for $0 cost.
 
Materials: 
  • Long cardboard roll from Ikea rug purchase
  • Raffia string to secure opposite end to cheap Ikea drawer
  • Cardboard from paper towel roll
  • Spare foam under cardboard to give it more shape
  • 2 rubber bands
  • S-hook lying around for cable management

Just put this together today.  Hung the stick with some curtain rod mounts.  Seems to work fine and goes along with the sports theme of the office.

Haven't been keeping up with this thread (sadly), but I need a stand that I can use with my HE 500. The cables coming from the headphones make it annoyingly hard to find a stand for without possibly damaging the cables.
 
Anyone have the same issue that has found a solution?
