The 15 Best Headphone Stands

For those of us who take our music, gaming or movie-watching seriously, investing in a quality pair of headphones is completely mandatory for the surround-sound experience we crave. For these reasons, a pair of flimsy ear buds won’t do; padded headphones that offer comfort for long hours at the computer and offer the best sound quality are ideal. The downside to purchasing this piece of tech can be the awkward size and the inability to safely store them. When you have dropped upwards of $100, the last thing you want is to shove it in a drawer full of other items that can cause damage to your latest toy.

Luckily for us, the tech gods have heard our prayers and have come up with a solution where we can safely store our headphones while keeping them easily accessible. Headphone stands are sleek and can go just about anywhere in your home while preventing potential damage. If the world of headphone stands is a new expedition for you, fear not; we have put together a list of fifteen places to start. Check them out to see what kind suits your needs best!
