Really good price on a quality headphone stand. I got one in a previous buy and its very solid and well-made.

Hmm... tempting.  I know it's metal, but are the bottom edges very sharp?

What are other good stands out there?  The wooden Sieveking stands look quality, but they remind me of a woman's head of hair, and now I can't get that out of my head, haha.

The bottom edges are not sharp at all, they're curved.

I just made one when I got bored one day. I was using a large binder clip beforehand.

Hell yeah, I was using a K'nex headphone stand for a while but I'm back to the binder clips.

Of course! they're like Lego but better for engneering practical things. Or rather they were. K'nex went in a really odd direction after the '90s "golden age".

I bet it wasn't as cool as mine or you'd still be using it. I would have made two, but I ran out of red connectors after making another huge crossbow.
