What’s your headset of choice? If you said headphones, you’re not alone. While I enjoy wearing earbuds, I tend to gravitate towards headphones for deep work stretches and workouts.
Which brings me to my next point—how can I store my over-ear headphones in a way that’s aesthetically pleasing and keeps them neat and tidy?
My current setup involves leaving them on a shelf in my living room when they’re not in use. Not very stylish, but this set doesn’t fold up either, so my storage options are quite limited beyond leaving them on a shelf or zipping the headset in a soft case when I travel.
Until I discovered headphone stands.
Headphone stands are exactly what you think they are: A stand for an audio headset. This handy item is great because it provides an ideal—and safe—place to store headphones when they’re not in use.
While this gadget seems oddly simple, it’s got a few perks: 1) Headphone stands can keep your work or lounge space clutter free, 2) No more tangle wires, and 3) It’s a safe space, most likely free from accidental spills or getting knocked around.
If you’re in the market for better headset storage, check out these headphone stands. Whether your budget is on the smaller size or top end of the range, we rounded up a few different options that’ll fit right into your home. And the good news? In general, this product is rather affordable, too.

Want a headphone accessory that’s under $10? You came to the right place. This headset holder comes in three colors and it’s made of a center aluminum alloy support bar, a plastic base with rubber stabilizers underneath (for zero slips!), and a plastic but flexible headrest. And even better? The headrest is also made with very flexible rubber so your headphones are held securely. You’ll have to assemble the headphone stand yourself, but according to the product page and the reviews, it snaps together in just a few clicks.

On the next level up is the Avantree Headphone Stand. This minimalist-style two-piece stand comes with clever space saving design, too. Made with solid aluminum alloy and wood to provide a stable foundation and weighted base for your headphones, this stand is designed specifically to withstand the weight of any size headphones. The stand also features a larger cable holder to keep its balance. Also, setting up this stand is ultra simple: Just lock the two pieces into place and you’re good to go.
Customer Review |“Bought this wondering if it was worth the money! Can tell you that if you buy the cheaper versions you will be definitely disappointed. This holder is the best. It's sturdy, has the right height and you couldn't find anything compared with it for quality. For the price you will not regret buying this one. You will know the difference the minute you pull it out of the box. It's not going to fall over ever and would almost be impossible to knock it over. Best thing in the world to hang my very expensive headphones on without worrying about breaking them. Couldn't imagine not having this particular stand!” - William

Customer Review |“Bought this to replace an old plastic banana hanger I was using for my headphones for years. So far it's much gentler on the headphones and looks a heck of a lot classier than my old cheap solution.” - Jason Z.

Customer Review | “First and foremost, it does what it's built to do. It is very stable - I experimented a bit with the balance of the stand with my headphones on it and it would take a lot of work to tip it over. Also really like the smooth metal bar - it will not ever damage my headphones. Finally I think it looks really cool. It's a very simple and elegant combination of wood and steel. I love it.” - Herbie
