DIY Headphone Stand for your Desk

[Kaido]

Want a sturdy, cheap headphone stand for your desk, but don't like banana hangers? Here's a $5 solution:

Water bottle holder from a bicycle

Available on Amazon.com or at your local Walmart or bike shop. And by popular demand, some links for ordering online:

Econo-stand ($2.02)
Ferrari Enthusiast stand ($3.50)
Beetle's Yellow Submarine Tribute stand ($3.50)
Battlestar Galactica Cylon stand ($3.89)
Ergonomic techie stand ($4.95)
SLI Dual Headphone stand ($9.95)
Carbon Fiber stand ($51.78)
No-Holds-Barred Titanium stand ($52.99)

Some tips:
1. Using 2 drywall screws work great. If your desk is thick enough, 1 screw might work, but mine kept coming loose, so I used both holes and now it's steady as a rock
2. You can mount this vertically, like on a wall. If your headphone band is thick, just use some pliers to bend the top curve out so that your headphones will slide down easily. pic

that is screwed to the top of a table. Anybody have pics of it put on a normal computer desk and do you think it would work in the normal position?

That table would act as a pretty study headphone stand, too.

That's a pretty ghetto desk

Also you will want to use both screw holes, I tried just one but my desk wasn't thick enough to support the constant movement. 2 drywall screws later and it's stuck like glue. If you do go vertical, you might want to bend the top curved part out a bit depending on the size of your headphone band.

In the vertical pic, how did you attach your shredder to the wall?
