THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD

This is my new rack for head-fi gear. Made from 2 and 2 1/4" oak. The headphone stands are removeable and can slide on top of the sides.

Andsor, that is cool. I have thought somewhat similar setup, but so that my laptop and USB-powered DAC/amp with stand for my headphones were in it and whole package would be easy to take to couch.

Thanks. Looks a bit empty on the picture though. Currently testing out Matrix Mini-i and Audio GD Fun with a few different op-amps, so an updated picture will be comming soon. Also the headphone stands have been treated with the same stain as the wood.

Haven't seen many builds/designs of this kind of setup. Saw one once, believe it was here on the forum, which was what gave inspiration to the design.

My second take. First take was the Horn on the wall, as many of you have seen. Problem is, that only held 1 headphone comfortably. So I found some wood downstairs, got some cloth from my grandma's house, and whipped up a stand. Waiting for the Stain and Polyurethane to dry was honestly, the hardest part of this whole thing.

Hi everyone! New member here, and I just joined to say how impressed I am at the craftsmanship I see here.
 
First, a little background. I received a set of Sennheiser RS160 headphones for Christmas, and while they're great headphones, they don't come with a stand or case or anything. Since I want these to last a long time, I started searching for ideas on stands. Being rather frugal, I'd rather build something than buy it, and I stumbled across this thread. So I thought I'd try something, and here's the result.
 
(Hope the links work.)

Thanks, guys. It was a lot of fun to design and build. Best of all, I was using stuff I just had sitting around, so it didn't cost anything. I designed and discarded about half a dozen different ideas, but this is the one I kept tinkering with, and I'm really happy with the result. I hope it gives others some ideas of their own to play with.
