Headset mounts are a dime a dozen. We asked ourselves, which mounts are available and which can be bought without hesitation? We tested a total of 5 holders. Three of them are stands that can be placed on the table and two holders that are mounted or glued directly to the tabletop. The tested headset holders range in price between 7 and 30 euros.
Headset Stand
The curved one made of wood
Let’s start with the most expensive among the tested stands. A wooden veneer bent to shape from birch wood, which roughly reflects a head shape. Two round timbers, also made of birch wood, form the stand feet. The brand name “SAMDI” is engraved on one of the feet. We find this engraving to be a nice contrast to the rest of the wooden look. The headset stand comes in a slightly larger package and is wrapped in plastic.
The overall workmanship is very good, so we couldn’t find any complaints. If you are looking for a noble headset stand with a wooden look, you can buy it here without hesitation. The wooden stand is also available in the colors or decors walnut, as well as black and white glazed wood. You can find the curved wooden stand HERE*.
The down-to-earth aluminum
This model surprised us a lot on the part of the workmanship. For around 13 euros, you get a very sturdy stand made of aluminum, with a relatively large base plate. It comes in three individual parts, which must be screwed together. Matching screws and assembly instructions are also included.
All parts are made of aluminum and the workmanship left no reason for complaint. The bottom plate is equipped with four rubber tracks underneath, so that the stand is gentle to the tabletop and does not slip. On the upper side, a synthetic leather band was incorporated, which serves to protect the inside of the stand. All in all, you can also access here without hesitation and gets a great workmanship headset stand in noble optics. This headset stand is available HERE*.
The Elastic Plastic
The top of this headset stand is made of a plastic that bends easily. So if you pack your headset in this holder, the plastic part adapts to the temple shape of the headset. This prevents pressure points on the padding material. A good solution in our opinion. However, the rest of the stand did not convince us very much. The workmanship is okay, but not outstanding. The column is made of rather thin aluminum and already makes a less valuable impression when touching it. Problematic for us, however, was that the base is made of plastic and unfortunately it had warped a bit. The stand was not level with the tabletop and wobbled a bit. To fix this problem, we glued four “rubber studs” underneath and the problem was solved.
We can’t talk about the base warping on all copies of this model, because of course we tested only one. We can only give a conditional recommendation for this model due to the aforementioned problem. On the positive side, the inexpensive price of around 8 Euros and the quick problem solving of the aforementioned conspicuousness is a plus. The plastic stand is available HERE*.
Headset mounts for tabletop mounting
To clamp
This clamp is a very thoughtful aluminum part that attaches to the tabletop similar to a screw clamp. The two screws on the aluminum can be loosened, so you have the option of attaching the front part twisted and the entire holder now to a vertical object. For example, on a table leg or the side wall of a shelf. In order to protect the piece of furniture, the manufacturer has thought along and covered the contact surfaces with thin rubber. Another advantage of this is, of course, that the holder does not slip off the attached object so easily.
The actual mount, which is meant for the headset, has also been covered in rubber. The headset holder can be folded compactly when not in use. This also works pretty well in reality and the front, where the headset is hooked, locks firmly into the holder. Super workmanship and innovative design and that for around 11 euros, an absolute recommendation on the part of our editorial team. Our recommendation to clamp is available HERE*.
To stick
This small mount accommodates up to two headsets at a time. It is glued to the underside of the tabletop and the 3M adhesive pad does a really good job. It is decently tight to the tabletop and shows no weaknesses, even with heavier weights. The mount is a plain black, with the manufacturer’s logo “New Bee” printed in small white letters on the bottom.
The aluminum is nice and thick and overall the mount makes a very quality impression. The notches on the sides also offer the possibility to hook a cable head into it. This feature should be especially interesting for console gamers with a wired headset. You can hook the headset into the holder, wrap the cable around it and hook it into the holder as well. This way, the headset has a secure place and the cable doesn’t hang around wildly. Of course, it doesn’t have to be just the headset cable that finds its place here. Other cables can also be hooked in here and are then always within reach.
If you want to attach the holder to another place, that’s no problem, because another adhesive pad is included. So you can easily mount the holder again, even at a later date, in another place. This little adhesive wonder is available HERE*.
Conclusion
There are a few headset mounts and stands in circulation and we had five of them in our test. Four of the tested holders have convinced us in practice, design and the workmanship. It is also these four models for which we can give a recommendation without hesitation.
Only the plastic stand was not very convincing. It offers a low price and a good idea behind it. The design, however, is unfortunately somewhat flawed. The base plate of our copy was a bit warped. We were able to quickly fix the problem, but this should still not be the case with a new article.
