Best Headphone Stands (2023) – Style, Function, & DIY

Best Overall:
NewBee Headphone Stand

Simple, affordable, and easy to assemble. This headset holder is priced at under $10 and is a pretty good deal overall.

This headphone stand from NewBee is made of aluminum with TPU rubber under the base. It is compatible with most headphone brands like Sennheiser, Beats, Sony, Bose, etc. It is fashionably designed, and the best part is it is affordable.

The height of the stand itself is 8.85 inches and the base is 3.74 x 3.74 inches. The base is quite narrow, so if you have really heavy headphones, this one may not be for you, since it tends to get easily knocked over. It would have been better if they made the base a bit wider. If you place your gear gently on the holder, there won’t be a problem.

There are a few other downsides to this headphone stand. Such as, this headset holder does not have a tidy cable holder, USB ports or auxiliary ports, and the headband rest is only 1.81 inches long. It would have been nice if this headset holder had at least one USB port for charging your phone.

On the plus side, the headband rest is 2.26 in wide and has flexible rubber material. These features evenly disperse the weight of your headphones, preventing damage to the pads. This headphone stand is easy to assemble and durable. For its price, this is a great headset holder.

Runner-up:
Znoble Headphone Stand

This is nicely crafted, durable solid base, and easy to assemble. But is it worth it? Let’s find out.+

This stand from Znoble is similar to the one from NewBee, it also has that minimalistic and elegant-looking design to make sure it does not take too much space on your desk. It is made of top-level aviation aluminum, so this headphone stand is durable and lightweight.

This headset holder is affordably priced. On the plus side, the Znoble Headphone stand has a wider base of 3.9 inches compared to the NewBee headset holder. This headphone stand is very easy to assemble; you just have to screw the stand to the base and the headband holder, and that’s it.

This headphone stand has a wide headband rest (3.1 inches), so is compatible with almost any headphones out in the market. It does not have any USB or auxiliary ports, or a cable holder either. These would have been great additions to its simple design.

3. LUXA2 E-One Silver Headset Holder

The E-One from Luxa2 is an excellent choice if you are looking for a headset holder. The base is wide enough to stand still, even if you put heavy headphones on it. The base measures 115mm x 105mm. This headphone stand cannot be knocked off easily, which is always an important feature.

This headset holder is also compatible with any headphones with headbands. The stand is sturdy and does not wobble much. It stands at 10.2 inches and has a rubber pad to protect the padding on the headband. It is beautifully crafted, with a diamond cut aluminum finish. It comes in four colors; gold, black, silver, and rose gold.  

As with the other two headphone stands, the E-One by Luxa2 does not have any ports for USB or auxiliary, or a cable holder either. One more thing is that they could have made the headband rest a little bit wider so it can provide better support to the headband pad.

The main advantage this stand headset holder has going for it is the premium finishing (smooth edges), the weight, and the fact that it holds full-sized headsets without any issue. In addition, for those less mechanically inclined, the stand comes fully put together out of the box.

4. Casanuva Solid Wooden Headphone Stand

This is a premium wooden headphone stand, as stated earlier. It is surely a beautiful piece to display your headset.

The matte finish of the stand can be made even more shiny by rubbing a polishing/finishing oil over it.
The headphone stand is a sturdy 10.25 inches tall, which is more than enough to hold all the common headsets out there. The depth of the stand is three inches, which is more than enough to hold one headset, two if you really squish them in.

This is real black walnut wood, so do not expect the photos to be what you get, which makes this a unique purchase. The real wood makes every headphone stand one of a kind. Because of the Omega shape, there is a chance that your headphones will not be perfectly relaxed when sitting on the stand, but they won't end up being stretched out.

Given the solid wood, there is enough weight to be sturdy and keep everything stable on your desk.
All in all, it is a very nice headset holder for your gear.

5. Avantree Universal Solid Steel Headphone Stand

This product by Avantree is made of solid steel for the stand and silicone for the base. It does require assembly, but it is effortless. You just have to slip the headphone stand into the silicone base and make sure that the stand is locked in the grooves of the base, and that’s it.

The silicone base is durable and serves as a cable holder to keep your desk nice and tidy. The base has a diameter of 5.9 inches. So, if you have wireless headphones do not have a cable, you can use the base as a phone holder instead.

6. Just Mobile Headphone Stand

The first thing about this headphone stand is the price, which is the biggest downside to this headphone stand.
However, the headband rest is wide (approx three inches), so it can definitely fit all the headphones on the market, although it needs a rubber or silicone pad to make sure it won’t damage the pads for the headband.

Another advantage is the stand construction. They used two pieces of aluminum rods that need to be screwed in to make sure it is sturdy. The base is 5.8 inches in diameter and serves as a cable organizer to make sure your cable is contained to keep the top of your desk tidy. However, it is a bit of a hassle if you use your headphones often, since you have to wrap it around the base.

Even though this is lightweight at only 342g, the base is wide enough to support the stand and cannot be knocked off easily. We appreciate the way this headphone stand is built, but it is still overpriced. This is definitely for those who want a unique cable management headphone stand and aren’t worried as much about price.

7. Geekdigg Gaming Headset Holder

This headphone stand is arguably the best value around.

One thing we don’t like is the material used. Acrylic is a type of durable plastic. No matter how many times you put the word durable together with acrylic, it does not take away the fact that it is plastic and can break when you put pressure on it.

They could have used aluminum instead and made it really sturdy. For the value this headset holder offers, some sacrifices need to be made. Having said that, there really shouldn’t be much strain on the headphone stand overall, unless you’re really aggressive in your hanging.

Back to its features, the stand is about ten inches and is compatible with most headphones. At the back, you have the cable holder, which is easier to access compared to wrapping the cables around the base. The base of this stand also has a small stopper, so you can place your phone on the base, which is a nice touch.

Putting the stand and base together is easy. Just snap the stand into the base and screw it into place. This headphone stand is really worth looking at considering the features it provides.

8. AmoVee Headset Holder

The AmoVee Omega a great alternative for a traditional headphone stand. The design is simple, and it somewhat mimics the shape of a human’s head, so it is definitely compatible with all headphones out there.

This headphone stand is made of acrylic, so it tends to flex a little bit, which is an advantage since it will still have that snug fit, even with the tighter headphones. This takes away the strain, not only on the headband, but to the pads of the headphones, as well.

When putting your headphones onto the stand, you need to make sure the headphone pads are on the narrow part of the headphone stand. This makes sure there won’t be too much pressure on the headphone or the headband.

One negative about this headphone stand is that the material used is acrylic. This is not as solid as other metal or wood products. The clear option is preferred, as it will not show the dust as much.

AmoVee does offer a black Omega stand, which is slightly more expensive (it can be a dust collector and a fingerprint magnet because of the glossy finish). Both can be found using the link above.

Another thing is that the base for this headphone stand is a bit narrow. It is only 2.7 inches, and can easily be knocked off if you’re not careful removing your headset. It also does not have rubber feet.

Still this is a great and attractive headset holder, without any frills.

9. AmoVee Dual Headphone Stand

If you need a headphone stand that can hold two of your precious headphones, while still being affordable, then check out the AmoVee stand below.

This dual headphone stand is made of plastic and can hold miscellaneous items in the base tray stand. Depending on the orientation of your headphone stand, you can also use this as a phone or tablet holder, as well.

The stand is 10.2 inches high, making it compatible with most headphones in the market. The base can act as a cable holder too. With some assembly required, the stand is up in minutes and even comes with a brush to keep your headphone stand dust-free.

Because of the design of the hanger, although the base isn’t wide, the direction of removing your headphones does not cause the headset holder to tip over easily, which is nice.

A simple, clean design, the stand is mostly all function without a bunch of style to it. The price of this dual headphone stand is very affordable, and will go very well with a gaming headset under $50.

10. Casanuva Wooden Dual Headphone Stand

If you want that classic look for your headsets, a wooden headphone stand is a great choice.

A minimalistic design, classic look, and best of all, made of durable material. Compared to the AmoVee Omega, this dual headphone stand from Casanuva will not flex or bend. It has a wider base, as well at 4.5 inches. This makes sure the stand won’t get knocked off easily. Another advantage is that it makes it more compatible with the bigger headphones.

The downside though, if you have a tighter headband, is it will put more pressure on the headphone pads since it does not flex, so you need to really find a spot where the pads will have less pressure on them. Another thing is that it does not have any rubber pads on the base so there’s a tendency to scratch the desk surface.

Now to fix the issue of the lack of a cable holder is for you to wrap the cable around the narrow part of the headphone stand near the base (Just a suggestion).

Another thing is that it is not cheap, but anything with wood construction will be more expensive.

11. Elevation Lab-Mounted Headphone Stand

If you want your desk clutter-free, the best solution is to hide your headphones under the desk. The Anchor from Elevation Lab gives you a dual-headphone stand that is a great alternative solution and setup couldn’t be easier.

For some minimalists who like keep their desktop as clean as possible, having a headphone stand on their desk is simply not an option. Thus, the need for a dual-headphone stand that can be hidden under the table. So, technically this is not a stand, this is more of a headset holder/hanger.

Mounting this headset holder is quite easy. Just remove the top layer of the adhesive tape and stick the Anchor anywhere clean and flat, and that’s it. You need to plan the location though, since it is not easy to remove it once you stick it on.

A little caution though, over time, no matter how good the quality of the adhesive is, it will still wear off, and this means that your precious headphones may fall off from the table. There is a provided screw hole to mount the hanger physically, but it is difficult to use.

The Anchor is made of medical-grade silicone with a steel pin in the center, which serves as reinforcement. This headset holder can fit two headphones. It is compatible with headbands up to about two inches wide.

12. Brainwavz Hengja Mounted Headphone Stand

If you don’t like the idea of using precious legroom under your desk, this mounted headphone stand from Brainwavz is able to fasten to any side surface with compression.

This headset holder from Brainwavz uses a clamp that can be securely mounted anywhere on the edge of your desk. The clamp extends to about 1.5 inches. Now, if you have a desk that is thicker than 1.5 inches (40mm), you can’t use this headset holder. The tools are included in the package for your convenience; a screwdriver and an Allen key multi-tool.

Unlike the Elevation Lab above, this is mounted securely with no adhesive. Changing the position where you want to place this holder is easy. You won’t have to worry about this stand falling off from the table. The headset holder is made of metal, so this is durable but still very lightweight at only 112g.

On the negative side, the headset holder does not have any rubber or silicone coating to protect the headband, even though it has a smooth finish. Another thing we noticed is that the screws stick out a bit. In addition to being unattractive, this may damage the pads for the headband, as well.

Something they could have added is a cable holder under the headband rest. Also, while using compression, there shouldn’t be any damage to your desk, as headsets are not that heavy overall – but consider that some marking may occur.
