The 24 Best Headphone Stands

Perhaps you didn’t even realize that headphone stands were something you could buy. But If a cluttered desk belies a cluttered mind, and an empty desk suggests an empty mind, then it stands to reason that a well-organized desk is the desk of the well-organized individual. Whether you’re hard at work or unwinding after a long day, it’s important to stay focused and deliberate, and one oft-forgotten piece of any person’s desk setup is a great headphone stand.

Headphones are a big part of our audiovisual experience, and as such, they should have pride of place even when not in use. A good headphone stand is not just practical but well-suited to the person upon whose desk it sits. Those working in audio production require plenty of space for decks, those working remotely need room for laptops and notepads, and at the end of the day, everyone needs space to stretch out and relax while they play a few games or watch a movie.

Now that you have a fancy monitor stand, some inspirational office wall art, it’s time to invest in a great headphone stand. To this end, the list below compiles the best headphone stands on the market, whether you need an under-desk headphone stand or a desktop solution, and you’ll even find some multiple-headphone stand options for when one pair just isn’t enough. Read on, and remember that a well-organized environment is the key to a well-organized mind. 

1. Elago H Headphone Stand

The Elago H aluminum Headphone stand is a stripped back, minimalist storage solution for those looking to tidy up their desk space. With a generously tall 10.5″ height and a sleek silver profile, this stand is great for giving bulky headphones their own space without sacrificing the aesthetics of your desktop setup.

2. Hard Graft Peak Headphone Case

There aren’t many headphone stands that can be constructed with nothing more than a swift karate chop to the bonce, but the Hard Graft case-stand hybrid is exactly one such item. Made with sustainable, vegetable-tanned leather, this stylish case doubles up as a stand when re-oriented and beaten into shape, and as such, it’s great for when you’re on the move. Just don’t karate chop it with your headphones still inside!

3. Brainwavz Hengja Mounted Headphone Hanger

An under-desk headphone hook that mimics an industrial vice, the Brainwavz Hengja saves space whilst keeping your headphones safe, with multiple orientation options and an adjustable clamp to suit any thickness of desk. Once clamped tightly to your desk leg of the underside of your desktop, this vice will provide a stable roost to even the weightiest of headphones. Just don’t forget, you’ll need a hex / Allen key to use this stand – which is curiously not included in the package)

4. Wooaudio Adjustable Stand

If you’re looking for the best headphone stand for your needs, but you’re not sure which headphones you’ll be hanging on it, then an adjustable stand such as Wooaudio’s offering might be just the ticket. With an extendable arm ranging from 11″ – 14″ tall, this is a good option for those who frequently rearrange their desk setups, making it perfect for audio production work. Stylish, sturdy, and perfect for nearly any set of headphones. What else could your little heart possibly desire out of an excellent headphone stand?

5. Avantree Universal Wooden & Aluminum Headphone Stand

The Avantree Universal wooden headphone stand matches bamboo with aluminum for a simple but stylish form factor. A bamboo cable tray sits beneath the frame to hold any stray wires, and the bamboo hook itself is notched with an indentation to keep your headphones hanging securely. Easy to build and disassemble, this is one headphone stand that will never leave you bamboozled!

6. ONEGenug Wooden Headphones Stand

This gorgeous wooden headphone stand is based around a classical omega stand shape. The ONEGenug wooden headphone stand is tall compared to some of its siblings of the same form, and as such, it takes up rather a lot of room on the desk. However, this comes with a significant boon, in that the upper and lower archways make for the perfect storage nook for wires or smart devices – a handy place to keep your handset.

7. Bluelounge Posto Headphone Stand

A super-slim aluminum headphone stand with a flexible headrest, the Bluelounge Posto is a well-designed product that drops all the extras for a simpler approach. The adjustable foam-padded headrest prevents headphone arches from becoming warped or damaged by long periods of hanging on the stand and speaks to the care taken in perfecting this simple design. With a sub ten dollar price tag, I can’t recommend the Posto enough.

8. Neetto Dual Headphones Stand

This dual headphone stand from Neetto doubles up in more ways than one. With room to hang two pairs of headphones on a dual-hook pole, this is ideal for multi-user desk setups and comes with a weighted base to prevent overbalancing when one pair of headphones is removed. The weighted base is doubly useful, acting as a storage tray for both wires and desk clutter. So go ahead, get that unruly desk clutter under control and hang your favourite pair of ear wreckers, a.k.a. headphones.

9. AmoVee Headphone Hanger

Another under-desk headphone hook, this hanger from AmoVee, utilizes a different strategy from its competitors. Rather than using a vice approach to gripping a desk, the AmoVee hanger sticks on using a double-sided sticky pad, meaning there is no rough screw ends exposed, which could potentially damage your headphones otherwise. The adhesive is super-sticky, so keep your fingers clear!

10. Cozoo USB Charger Headphone Stand

If you’re looking for a headphone stand with USB support, the Cozoo triple-USB stand is a great pick, with three USB slots for all your charging needs. A simple on-off switch is built into the design to help you save power without stretching for the outlet, and two AC power sockets are also present on the base, transforming this stand into an outlet in and of itself.

11. Corsair ST100 RGB Headset Stand

Corsair is well known throughout the gaming world for its high-quality hardware, and this neat little gaming headphone stand comes packed out with plenty of hidden features. Beyond the flashy RGB lighting, you’ll find 2 USB-A 3.1 inputs, ideal for fast charging, and a single 7.1 surround sound port for a virtual surround sound setup. This headphone stand is a really strong option for audiophiles and gamers alike, all at a very reasonable price.

12. SAMDI Walnut Omega Stand

This take on the omega wooden headphone stand from SAMDI is much like ONEGenug’s stand with a couple of key differences. There is no lower arch, making for a slightly more elegant structure but losing some storage functionality. Furthermore, the base uses a couple of cylindrical supports equipped with firm padded supports to prevent slippage, a nice addition to avoid scratching desk surfaces. Though these omega stands may seem very similar, the devil often lies in the details, so make sure to consider your needs carefully before picking one over another.

13. Sieveking Omega Stand

On the topic of omega stands, here’s a more luxurious offering from Sieveking, taking the same basic shape as those we’ve seen before and pushing its quality to the highest degree. A German product with a Scandinavian aesthetic, this stand is built to emphasize its form. Look, for example, at the beautiful gradient finish towards the base of the stand or the deliciously rich colours of the Makassar wood option. Pricy though it may be, this is a brand, and a stand, all about quality.

14. Avantree Headphone Hanger

Bringing together some of the nicest features of its competitors into one place, this gaming headphone stand from Avantree combines a simple silicone tray with a padded silicone headrest to prevent any damage occurring to your headset while not in use. Constructed with solid steel, it’s bound to stay upright even after a knock or two, and the sloped design lends the stand an altogether amiable aesthetic.

15. EletecPro Headphone Stand

A stand that expects you to be able to put a screw or two in the right place, this self-assembly headphone stand from EletecPro stretches a pair of solid silver-effect aluminum poles skyward to hold your headphones aloft. This is a basic but beautiful stand for those with an eye to elegance and no need for unnecessary extras. And the fact that it’s available in three polished metal colours including black, grey and silver.

16. ENHANCE Gaming Headset Stand

Truly out of this world, the ENHANCE gaming headphone stand is an extra-terrestrial delight, bringing the aesthetics of Ridley Scott’s Alien franchise right to your desk setup. Its flexible transparent neck courses with your chosen RGB colour – from deep-sea blue to an otherworldly green. One for the space cowboys amongst us! But don’t be fooled by this headphone stand’s eccentric design. There’s plenty of features that stand out as well. With four USB 2.0 ports and a nicely weighted non-slip design, this amazing headphone stand is ahead of the game.

17. Grovemade Wood Headphone Stand

This is a very cool headphone stand crafted from materials of the highest quality. The Grovemade wooden frame intricately combines solid wood with stainless steel and full-grain leather for an excellent looking product. The two colourways are stunning, with walnut brown pairing black leather with a chocolate-brown wood, whilst maple provides a lighter touch, flared by a beautiful orange exterior. This is a finely crafted product, and I just love the ’70s style aesthetic.

18. ANTIER Wooden Headphone Stand

Antier takes a more rustic approach to stand design with this wooden headphone stand, affixing a single metal rod to a rough-hewn wooden base. With a woodsman’s style and a purposefully unstudied grace, this is a truly minimalist product, employing gravity to do all of the work and wasting no effort on notches or trays. This makes for a perfect gift for the wood and minimalist aesthetic fan in your life that needs a place to stick their headphones.

19. Audio-Technica AT-HPS700 Headphone Stand – Aluminum

It’s rare to find an aluminum headphone stand in the omega shape, as creating the curved profile takes specialist manufacturing processes and a great deal of care. The Audio-Technica AT, then, is quite remarkable for this reason, and its anodized aluminum build is coated in a detailed blast finish that truly brings out the shine on its curves.

20. FABAX Universal Headphone Holder

A simplistic bracketed version of similar headphone stands, the FABAX Universal Headphone stand tweaks the classic silver stent design with a dual-disc base for a polished, practical look. With a strong double-bar structure, FABAX has made a simple but sturdy product that won’t win any awards but might just win over those with elegant design sensibilities.

21. FABAX Creative Headset Stand

Taking a more unconventional approach to product design, this cool headphone stand from FABAX throws away the last model’s tradition for something altogether new. Utilizing an ingenious X-Frame designed for easy assembly and supreme stability, the FABAX Creative is available in black and red or as a simple white headphone stand. This futuristic stand wouldn’t look out of place in Professor X’s mansion itself.

22. Tilted Nation RGB Headset Stand

Don’t get tilted by dropping your headphones at the end of a hard-fought battle. Instead, opt for the Tilted Nation RGB headset stand and keep your headphones safe, with inbuilt RGB lighting and two handy USB ports installed. The best headphone stand I’ve seen for cable management, this cleverly includes a cable bungee to keep your mouse from snagging – a key feature if it’s sharing desk space with your gaming setup.

23. Doneioe Leather Headphone Stand

A leather variant of the classic omega headphone stand shape, Doneioe’s offering blends style with functionality, padded all over to prevent any scrapes to your expensive headset. With a non-slip base, this omega stand won’t be shuffling off anywhere soon, and if you’re after something more retro, there’s also a brown and orange colour variant available. Beautiful, simple and made of fine quality materials, this is a headphone stand for the aesthetically discerning home office setup.

24. UPPERCASE Zero Headphone Stand

The UPPERCASE Zero headphone stand uniquely employs an iodized aluminum cylinder to hold your headphones rather than a notch or omega shape. Combining a stent approach with the omega’s curves gives you the best of both worlds, with no chance of your headphones overbalancing and plenty of desk space left open beneath the frame. Designed in the USA, this is the first stand of its kind on the market.
