I don't think they're available anymore.
You could try entering "headphone stand with usb sockets" into the search engine of your choice. You never know, you might get lucky and find some links to aid you in your quest.
 
It is very strange to me that a manufacturer with a wide range of products would put this out as a flagship level piece. Why would you release such a bad thing, likely to get bad reviews and customer dissatisfaction, and then have that negativity affect the rest of your products and sales? It makes no sense. I'm not in the market for the TOTL headphones but at least with some of them, you do get great performance for what you pay...

because of this:



Those reviewers probably got it for free and did not have to send it back.

There are also reviewers that don't like it ... not surprisingly.


The improvement was massive. There was now good balance and the forwardness was gone. I actually started to enjoy them listening to my reference tracks!
So ... with some EQ (which one does not need any).

Of course ... price/performance wise and price wise by itself this is an abomination.
Its all about the money ....
 
I did that, Mr sarcasm.
I just did the same. Dozens of hits, some even with wireless charging for your phone as well. I might not trust the one from AliExpress with flashing gamer lights for $1.61AU though...

I was looking for the exact one. Strange that didn't occur to you.

I think those were made by a brand called "Satechi"
Here from Amazon France

And now let's get back to topic :)
Even though if you ask me I think the stand is more worth our attention than the headphone :)
 
Or 500+ Sony MDR ZX-110! (Sounds still better…)
Or 1500+ Vido flathead earbuds! (Sounds still better…)
 
you can basically make your own Hifiman HE-R10 by buying these 5 dollar wooden cups and attaching it to a 150ish dollar Hifiman Deva (it was original released with the exact same headband as well btw). and if you have enough shills on headfi, you too can sell it on for >5000 dollars.

If you want a good passive closed-back with real wood on the cups get the Fiio FT1. Way cheaper and also better than this joke.
Alot of hype on these, but they aren't that good at all. I purchased and returned them. Unnatural soundstage. Washed out sound. EQ doesnt help. Very strange. They are being shilled everywhere. Much better options in the $100-200 range.
