Solid Wood Headphone Stand

Solid wood, a wide yoke, and a tray in the base for whatever else is on the desk. Headphones left flat on a desk get sat on, knocked off and slowly bent out of shape at the headband. A stand is a small object that solves a recurring annoyance — and this one earns its footprint twice, because the base is a tray rather than a slab.

Features and benefits

• Solid wood, not veneered board — the grain runs through it
• Yoke shaped wide enough for over-ear headsets without splaying the headband
• Storage tray moulded into the base for a phone, a dongle or a cable
• Assembles by hand in seconds, no tools
• Weighted base keeps it upright when you lift the headphones off one-handed

Specifications

Before you order

This is a stand, not a hanger — it sits on the desk and needs roughly the footprint of a coffee mug.

Wood is a natural material. Grain and tone vary from piece to piece, which is the point of choosing it over plastic.

If your desk has no spare surface at all, the under-desk headphone hook is the better answer — it uses no desk space whatsoever.

Good to know

Will it fit large over-ear headphones?

Yes. The yoke is shaped for over-ear headsets and supports the headband across its width rather than at a single point, which is what stops a headband deforming over months of storage.

Why does a headphone stand matter?

Mainly because of the headband. Headphones left lying on a desk rest on one earcup and slowly take a set, and the cable gets pinched under whatever lands on top. A stand keeps the headband in its natural shape and the cable off the desk.

What goes in the base tray?

Whatever currently has no home on your desk — a phone, a USB dongle, a spare cable, keys. It is shallow by design, so it holds small things visibly rather than swallowing them.

Does it need assembly?

The post screws into the base by hand. No tools, no fixings to lose, under a minute.
