BendyHead Pro Headphone Stands

Dec 6, 2017

I love all of the negative comments regarding this product, mostly concerning disbelief of the simplicity of the design and materials (“I could make it myself!”) or the cost (“$90 for plywood?”). It is like looking at a Rothko painting and saying, “Heck – I could do that!” Yes, but did you? Originally, I mean. Now, I am not necessarily defending this product – I have no need for this particular stand and do not, at the moment, have the funds to justify the expense. Even if I did, I do not think I would buy it as it really is not my style. However, I do think it is a clever idea. Here is a thought: Design your own headphone stand (it can’t be this one because, like the Rothko, it has already been done). Purchase the tools to manufacture it in quantity. Purchase the materials to manufacture it in quantity. Patent it. Market it. Add up your time, equipment and materials (i.e., $) to design, manufacture, register and market your product. Are you willing to pay yourself minimum wage? If so, after only 17.5 hours (that is slightly less than two day’s work) you will be at the original asking price of the Bendy Head. How much will your headphone cost and how many do you need to sell to cover the initial costs? This is a very simplistic scenario and does not take into concern factors like overhead (controllable and non-controllable) profit, etc. Also, once the first one is created, the second is easier and so on – assuming you sell any in the first place. I guess this is long winded way of saying that those who cannot, critique…

funambulisticI'll put it simply:
If you release products in the public sphere, expect criticism whether your product is good or bad.

funambulisticYour story only goes to show that neither the makers nor the buyers of this thing are thinking people.

funambulisticI actually designed and made two headphone stands for my own use. One is for my everyday pair, made from one scrap 2x4, so the only material cost was a small can of wood stain. A little bendy, but I call that "organic styling", à la Antoni Gaudí:

The other is to store the rest of my headphones, made from scrap closet hardware:

Not the prettiest, but 100% functional.

funambulistic Poppy cock! Anyone can design and build a better headphone stand! Take my design for instance...

The idea is completely my own, yet I refuse to patented it, preferring instead to donate it (open-source) to music and booze aficionados throughout the world (over 18 of course). For those not into DIY scene (or heavy the heavy drinking scene) I can produce a limited quantity of these fully functional beauties (up to say...12 per year) each entirely by hand (and to a greater extent, mouth). Custom orders accepted, price $200 (signed editions $350).
