acidboy84 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2005 Been looking around for these but cannot find any. Want to get these before I get some expensive headphones (ATH-A900 or SR-325i). Currently my SR-80 is lying flat on the table and it looks pityful, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idkfa 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2005 I can't really find a nice stand for my grados. The way the are like, it's better they be left on the floor. What I do is I get a nice cushioned square piece of mat to place them on. Tried hanging them before but they just left a strained on the leathered headband. As for your A900s, if you have an audio rack, perhaps you can try a hook attached on the underside of one of the racks. Then they can hang freely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
afbug 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2005 I think hanging lower end Grados is a bit risky. The cables leading into the drivers are secured by cable ties only. Accidently kick or step on the cables, it might rip out of its solder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acidboy84 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2005 The cables leading into the drivers are secured by cable ties only. Really ?! Any pictures on it? I think hanging lower end Grados is a bit risky. Is SR-325i considered lower end? (Higher end being the reference series?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is SR-325i considered lower end? (Higher end being the reference series?) Take a torch and shine into it and you can see the driver and cable soldering. I dunno how the SR325i is constructed but i think, THINK only that it will be similar. If wanna hang, be careful, just keep those heavy cables out of the way. I rather place it on a table or drawer or keep in case. My MS1's cable can move in and out freely. lol. One hard tug, the solder might give way. I have not figure out a way to open it up to secure it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fishball79 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2005 FWIW,I use a 3M Command Adhesive jumbo hook They aren't big enough for my grado headband to sit in comfortable but the grados are so light it works ok and I kept it when i changed tables. There's so many holes in the frame my ikea jerker table, perhaps even just shoving a disposable chopstick in will work... Hell, i can probably hang half a dozen headphones on one side. Luckily chopsticks are cheap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

afbug 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2005 I think the best headphone holder without straining the headbands are the Sennheiser ones that come with the HD485 and HD595. They have a padded and wider surface area to support the headband. It can be clamped to a horizontal plane like a table/shelf or a vertical plane like a pole or door. I think Futura's stand will work well with this Senn clamp holder. There is a guy from headfi that makes those stands for the Senn holder but a bit ex. http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread....936#post1795936 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
