Headphone stand
View Patent ↗A headphone stand with a base, a stem extending vertically therefrom, and a holder affixed to the stem at or near the top. The holder may be lined, cushioned or padded. The stem is hollow in whole or in part. A recharging cable and plug (which may be a power plug, USB plug, or other form of plug) extends upwards from the base inside the stem, and emerge from an opening located in the stem.
