Review on 6amLifestyle Headphone Hanger Stand Under Desk: Patented Aluminum Hook Holder for PC Gaming DJ Headphones - Gray GY701 by James Bartels

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall I am very happy with the actual construction of the product

I just purchased this item for my home office, as I needed something out of sight to hold my Audio-Technica ATH-M50x & Astro A50 headphones. Overall I am very happy with the actual construction of the product, but my gripes are not with the construction but the mounting design.Issue #1: the adhesive.The adhesive held for literally 24 hours, and then dropped my headphones directly to the floor. It was still somewhat sticky, but I cannot tell if the weight of the headphones combined or the vibration of typing / walking around my home office caused it to fall to the ground. I was contemplating using the second set of sticky pads, but taking off the original layer was a bloody disaster. This lead me to screwing it in using the provided screws.Issue #2: Screw hole positionI am unsure who designed this, but I am sure they did think anyone would actually screw this down into there desk as it was a nightmare. The screw holes are directly blocked by the headphone older themselves, so its impossible to fit a screw driver in without it being at a 45 degree angle. Since my desk is solid wood, I ended up stripping one of the small screws they provided because of this angle. It would have made a bit more sense if they made a small opening for a screw driver to get in, or expand the base a tad bit but they didn't.TL;DR: Overall construction is an A+, but the mounting design leaves a lot to be desired. If you want to screw this in, get ready for a bad time.

Pros
  • Patented design
Cons
  • It may not be as sturdy as other headphone stands.
