[GIVEAWAY] Just Mobile HeadStand™ Headphones Stand

[Kyle Matthews]

Those pesky headphones are always laying on your desk, wishing they had somewhere to look better, aren't they? Just Mobile's HeadStand provides just that.

Company

Just Mobile has been around for 7 years making really cool accessories. They've focused on accessories for iProducts since 2007, and we always love what they come up with. Based out of Taiwan, with a serious attention to detail and design, Just Mobile builds things that feel as if they match the engineering glory of your Apple products. High quality materials match up to beautiful-in-simplicity designs.

In the Box

The box is simple and has a clean look featuring the product itself printed on a black matte material. Shiny text tells you it's by Just Mobile, and is called the HeadStand. You can actually open the front of the box to get a glimpse of the HeadStand in action - a printed image shows it on a desktop. The base of the HeadStand, finished in brushed aluminum, is visible through the packaging.

There's very little in the box aside from the product itself (which requires two screws to be screwed in in order to fully assemble it). Nestled in a black foam inset are 4 pieces - the two bars and "hook" constitute one assembled piece, the base, and two Philip's head screws.

You'll also find a Just Mobile decal in the box.

Design

Just Mobile really shines when it comes to design, and the HeadStand is no different.

Brushed aluminum throughout, the HeadStand has a double base with a rubbery bottom which keeps the stand from slipping on your desk. The open area between the two base circles is used to wrap your headphones cord - keeping the clutter at bay.

Two tall hollow aluminum columns (the total HeadStand height is just under 10" - 9.76" or 24.8cm to be exact) screw into the base from below, topped with a wide "hook" area to rest your headphones. I had to tighten the hook as well when I first got the stand out of the box - oddly these are flathead screws.



There are no hard edges anywhere - everything is round, or has a rounded edge. Great quality, and not quite as heavy as I thought it'd be.

Price / Conclusion

The HeadStand does its job well - and looks great doing it. I noticed it was very stable - not wobbly at all, which is good as I grabbed the headphones and set them on the stand. It handles a wide variety of phones - anything with a band I threw at it was no problem. I didn't use the cable tidy much - it's annoying to have to unwrap it when I want to use my phones.



You can pick up the HeadStand on the Just Mobile website for $49.95, which seems to follow their recent trend of "just a little pricier than it seems worth, but hey, you own Apple products, right?" I'd be much more happy with the HeadStand at a $34.95 price point. That being said - it IS top quality for your dollar.

We're giving it 4 leaves.

Do many people still use over the ear headphones?
Not meant to be a snip I'm asking as a legitimate question.

[crackertime]

I could stand to own this. Eh? That's right.

[njp316]

Dre. Beats , Bose , skull candy...many over the ear headphones...they didnt die in style or innovation. People still own them and they are the best for good sound and bass

But damn , holy old iMac lol

I know right? Lmao. You'd think when trying to advertise a new product to not associate it with something years and years old haha

[Kyle Matthews]

Senyaichiya - heck yah! I use them constantly - airplanes, in bed if wifey is watching TV and I'm watching something else or listening to music, at least 5-7 times a week.

z3r01 - thanks. It ain't retina - but it runs Linux. haha.

Looks good, but the price point is a bit much just for something to hold your headphones.

[Silverado1987]

That iMac is sweet looking

[Outrager]

I really like the simple look of it.

[Damnskippy]

Count me in, I could really use a nice set of headphones!

[Norb]

This is not worth $50... build quality looks meh... and it seems like it has a bit too much going on. Plenty of other things on amazon that caught my eye more and look better built. For example this:


I especially like this but I cant find it anywhere....

[staysic722]

love the simple design

[xTorch]

It could be made of gold, still a headphone stand isn't worth $50.

[slickric]

would go sweet with my beats by dre!

[TwistedSoul]

would go great with the new iPad stand introduced a few days ago... looks SWEET!!!

[clive.weller]

Good grief, what on earth do those two ugly screws on top look like?

If you cannot think of anything else better than this to hold the thing together then at least have both slots set in the same direction!

[teej1410]

50 bucks for that!?!? I might as well buy new headphones.

[c0dy]

thanks for the inspiration, now I shall build my own
