DIY Headphone Stand Under 5$

Sharif · July 1, 2017

So I previously made a headphone stand with just a 2 right angle bracket, but it looked tacky and tended to leave the foam in the centre flattened out (Where all the weight was being applied as it hanged).
So I decided to finally redo it into something nicer and finally did it and came out nice

Things needed

Two Right angle corner bracket
Small piece of a 4 inch PVC pipe (What I used) OR Thick wire OR Something equivalent
Rubber pipe insulation

Tools needed

Hot glue (Needed)
Hack Saw for sawing pipe (Optional, depending on what you went with)
Insulation tape or spray paint in a colour of your choice

To begin with I taped together both the bracket into a square so that I able to hang it below my desk. (I later used black insulation tape , transparent one shown here)

Spoiler

Use insulation tape directly or spray paint first

The semi circle piece of pipe that was cut. You could use anything else hard and bendable as well, a curved twig would do too.

Spoiler

The actual piece is half the width of this in order to slide it into the insulation

I cut of a piece of around 15cm of the rubber pipe insulation and inserted it into the PVC pipe I cut earlier, after inserting it I closed both ends with hot glue. This is surprisingly quite soft hence perfect to be used as a foam padding.

Spoiler

These seems to be commonly used in split AC installation

^^^^^^^^^

This is curved, took the picture from the wrong angle

Now it's finally time to put them together.

I removed some of the foam padding from below the center so that the pvc pipe could make contact with the bracket in order to put them together with hot glue

Spoiler

After placing it I used that hole as fill hole for the hot glue (How convenient)

Covered the bottom with some more foam and keep in mind you won't be seeing this as it's only visible from below

Spoiler

Looks better in person IMO

After sliding in another piece of foam in front of the other one, all there was left was to glue them all in place.

Spoiler

A cut the foam tube I placed in the front in a angle to give it a less of a tube look.

All there is left is either screw it into the desk or just using hot glue again. You might think it would come off in time but it doesn't, it's pretty sturdy (I have been using the previous design that way for years now)
