One cheap option: Tomato marinara sauce glass jar plastic piece painted in black + velcro. Good for two headphones.

I see it as a feature, not a bug. My most frequent complaint about pads are their stiffness, so making the foam softer faster is not a problem. Though in practice, I have not noticed any wear on the pads from these stands. I actually tried to intentionally wear down the foam in another set of pads for the Meze 99 by forcibly compressing them for long periods of time, hoping it would make them softer. But it didn't seem to make any difference.

That's cool if that's what you're trying for. I like my pads to stay stiffer to keep the grill/driver off my ear.

Ever seen these? Only 400€... LOL

I am leaning towards buying one of these from AliExpress.

Mine is a finely crafted and finished wooden slat with a paper towel wrapped around it for padding, sticking out from under something to weight the end on top of the CD rack.

I don't like headphone stands, they make it look neat, but almost always press on some of the padding flattening it over time. I just lay mine on the table (or a box respectively).
That Avantree one from @Boris Badinov doesn`t look too bad in that regard, however it wouldn`t fit many headband headphones like HiFiMAN and AKG K700. So thats not an option for me personally either.

The top one looks like something certain ladies in certain films sit on.

I bought one and the Focal Clears don't even clamp on it:

I think the Audeze LCD-3 might fit better. (They are with Audeze being repaired but should be back home soon.)

I bought cabinet knobs to make a cable wrap. Pictures soon...

Nice! Maybe it is good that they don't clamp because the pads will never become deformed, as long as they actually stay on the contraption.
