If you’re looking for a stand that’s sleek, sturdy, inexpensive and minimalist, look no further than the AmoVee. Compatible with all brands and sizes and beautifully curved to resemble a small human head, the AmoVee is the perfect stand for someone who has a clean, modern bedroom or office adorned primarily in black and white colours. In spite of a luxurious aura, the AmoVee is very affordable and therefore a truly economical way to make a refined impression and own one of the best headphone stands.

The Razer Headphone Stand is all about industrial-strength reliability thanks to the use of high-grade aluminium and rubber anti-slip feet. Razer went the Apple route with this one, making a product that’s designed to be compatible with Razer headphones, but it does also accommodate other brands. We should add that some customers have complained about a wobble effect, but it could be related to the home assembly since other customers have nothing but great things to say about the Razer.

Just Mobile also ripped some pages from the Apple Bible by aiming for accessible products using only the best designs. They stormed into the mobile accessories marketplace with one of the best headphone stands–the award-winning Xtand–and surely the new HeadStand keeps the momentum going strong. Featuring a dual-layered aluminium base, a storage space for the cable, and a brilliant white sheen, the Just Mobile is everything it claims to be: modern, economic, durable, beautiful and brilliant.

So we’ve been throwing the words “durable” and “minimalist” around a lot when it comes to the best headphone stands, but the Master & Dynamic almost makes the other entries look flimsy and complicated by comparison. Made from machined, electroplated steel and supported by a weighted base, the Master & Dynamic flaunts a black polish and exudes the simplest kind of dependability imaginable. It almost looks like something the local blacksmith came up with. Expect premium durability at a premium price point.

The Satechi offers many of the same features as other best headphone stands on the list such as a durable aluminium base, a cable organizer, and compatibility with all brands and sizes, but with the added touch of three USB 3.0 ports. That means the stand is not only a great place to store your headphones but you can also transfer data and gain breezy access to any of your USB peripherals. Also included are rubberized grips at the top and base, a 3.5mm port to plug your headphones in, and the choice of three colours space grey, silver and gold.

We’ll keep this one brief. The Spectrum is cheap. It’s durable. It can hold bananas. It can also hold headphones.

The elago H adds a few extra touches to the average headphone stand and those touches go a long way. At 10.5 inches the elago is a little taller than your average stand, which gives the headphones some nice breathing room. The construction incorporates silicone padding for scratch prevention. The design is sleek and unfussy and the premium aluminium base is duly reliable. The elago has a very loyal following and it’s not hard to see why–it’s easily one of the best headphones stands you can find.

Now we’re getting into some novel territory.

The best part, though? When propped up the case doubles as a headphone stand. Genius!

The Bluelounge Posto takes a modest approach to optimum accessibility. It flaunts a singular colour profile (black or white) and a universal design, making it compatible with not just any pair of headphones but pretty much any environment. It’s also incredibly simple to put together and very affordable. This one is a truly hassle-free headphone stand that leaves a very small footprint.

Sometimes a product can speak volumes through the sheer power of simple, elegant design. That’s the vibe we get from the Thomann ROOMs Audio Line Typ FS S. Made of signature black wood and flaunting a roomy, high-end design, the Audio Line is understated luxury personified. It’s a stand you can’t keep your eyes off even if you’re not exactly sure why.

Modko’s Jack takes an intelligent, contemporary approach to the best headphone stands by incorporating rubber pegs that can hold your smartphone at the base. The Jack also sports compatibility with headphones of all shapes and sizes, a sturdy and tall stem, a hole to pass your cord through, a signature grey colour and an all-around smooth design, which is probably why it won the “Accent on Design Bloggers Choice Award” in 2014.

In case you haven’t heard, customization is hot right now. The people at Woo Audio definitely got the memo and so they made an adjustable headphone stand that can accommodate all sizes and brands. And even though it kind of looks like a desk lamp, customers are simply over the moon with the HPS-RS, thanks not only to its adjustable height but its supreme durability as well.

If you want the one of the best headphones stands that no one else has, then, by all means, check out the Headphile Classic. Although the goal behind this utilitarian stand is to let the headphones be the star of the show, there’s no doubt that the Classic will turn a few heads on its own. These stands are made to order so choose your wood, select single or double or quad configuration, opt for the deerskin hangar bars or leave the deerskin off, and then impress your friends with a headphone stand they’ll never find in any store.

The Omega has a similar design to the aforementioned AmoVee headphone stand, meaning an unmistakable curved body that kind of looks like a tiny head. However, Omega upped the ante a few notches by featuring a wide array of brilliant woods to choose from and utilizing the best in German craftsmanship. And if that doesn’t spell out the difference for you, the price point surely will.

And the award for “headphone stand with the most numbers and letters in its name” goes to the LUXA2 Something Something Something Aluminum Headphone Stand. In contrast to all those numbers and letters, this product is exceptionally convenient and one of the best headphones stands. It’s previously assembled so you take it out of the box and it’s ready to go. The LUXA2 also incorporates a diamond cut finish to give it that top-shelf look in spite of its completely affordable price point. Customers truly love this product. Yeah, baby!

The Anchor doesn’t waste words–the inexpensive, silicone headphone stand looks exactly like a small anchor.

It can even hold two headphones at a time.
