Looking for good headphone stand for my VC, any good suggestion that doesn’t break the bank.

For affordable stands these work ok. A bit light weight, so don't bump them, but they work well overall.

There are many cool headphone stands on Etsy, many 3D prints.

I find that the ROOMs stands are the best for keeping the earpads free from pressure AND provide a lengthy and wide rest for the headband to prevent marks/indentations, so all three of my ZMFs get this treatment.

Is there a US distributor for them yet? I’ve always wanted one of their “Pro” stands that adjusts up and down.

I wouldn't know, I am in Europe. But I would say that if any European Thomann shop ships to the U.S., they are well worth it. I have the regular ones and I find that they provide plenty of height for ZMFs.

Do you leave your cables connected to your ZMFs when on the stand? That’s the main reason I wanted the added height of the pro version. I didn’t want to put any stress on the headphone cable connectors.

Looks like they do ship to US via UPS at around $50

I heard a rumor Headphones.com might be trying to stock them, but I’m not sure if that’s true or not.

Try messaging them in the online shop, they may know.

For reference I’ve received my Macassar Ebony VCs today (I had to chase the Fedex truck down the street and injured my toe, don’t ask) and they clock in at 569g.

I really like the one I use for one pair of headphones (you can get one that holds two): https://wooaudio.com/accessories/hps

The ZMF stand is what I would recommend for more than one pair though.

+1 for Woo Audio headphone stands. 8 years later and mine still looks like new.

Second! I've got the double stand from Woo, and it's sturdy, looks great, and has great adjustment.

Did my occasional VC pad swapathon this evening, where I try all the pads in my collection to see if my thoughts have changed and if a new combo will "click." I went from loving the Auteur and Universe Hybrids to preferring the Auteur lambs nowadays. The fastest transients, the most impactful low-end. The Auteur hybrids feel a bit too sedate for me, and the Universe hybrids are a little too in my face. The Universe lambs I'm still quite mixed on.

Man. I just wish the Auteur lambs had the comfort of the hybrids, though!

I’m a big fan off the Woo Audio stands too. The Rooms ones are too short, even the adjustable ones. The Woo Audio stands allow for the cables to remain attached to your headphones without a sharp angle at the bottom (which can put pressure on the ear cup cable connectors). All my headphones are on Woo Audio stands (minus the custom Rooms one I use with my TCs, which is fortunately tall enough)

Yes, I think taking the cables on and off would wear out the headphone female jacks prematurely, wouldn't it? And on the regular ROOMs stand (not Pro) the ZMFs stand nicely with the earpads not touching and allow about 5 centimeters of space for the cable to come down vertically before it turns gently. I don't see a risk of stress on the cable. And I like the non-Pro version because it all fits nicely in my cabinet to protect everything from dust (and to look good - although these pictures don't do it justice). Hope this helps on what ROOMs is about.

By the way, notice that the old ZMF headband sits perfectly on the stand. The new headband doesn't do that because of its design, but I still think it gets all the resting support it needs without creating marks.

Here is the VC with the headphone cables attached and sitting on the Room stand and it works very well, as you can see there is still room on the adjustment to go higher. Not sure a headband could rest any better than it does on this stand.
These stands are heavy, you won't accidently knock it over.

This is with the stand all the way up...no stress what so ever on the connectors.
