Consider composition , more interesting if the subject is not dead centre
Background is a little cluttered
Art is more about negative spaces and angles what you have here is a nice descriptive presentation shot of a pair of headphones
 

   
Mate, I love most of your photos and I'm far from a photographic expert myself, but agree with Dogmatrix on the slightly cluttered background and placement of your subject in the centre. Some of the shots you've taken at our meets and when we caught up at Noisy Motel that day are really awesome so my suggestion would be to consider your background and place the emphasis off-centre (normally using the 1/3 rule of placing the subject in the top, bottom or side 1/3 of the shot)
 

 
Thanks for the tips guys! Much appreciated. 
 
How about this?

Much improved White Lotus
Focus is immediately on the subject without irrelevant distractions
Another way to deal with backgrounds is depth of field , by employing lower light levels (larger aperture) and higher zoom you can soften the background focus
 
Now I'll get nit picky , the angle you have chosen is interesting but you still have a 50/50 thing going on I would crop out half to two thirds of the white space . Remember Loquah's 1/3 rule , in design terms the golden ratio is basically 3 to 2 so 3 parts subject to 2 parts space
 
To art things up even further don't feel you need to show the complete headphone
Try changing you're angle of attack get up high and down low  
Look for interesting shapes , shadows and lines in the interaction between the elements of the subject and the stand , table and background

Looks like a long exposure shot with flame in the background.
 
@woodcans do tell please!

 
He'll never tell - he's like a silent optical assassin!
