UGREEN headphone stand review (LP143) – a classy yet affordable way to hang your headphones in style
The UGREEN headphone stand is the epitome of the brand’s approach to effective yet affordable products and fulfils its intended role perfectly. Here’s our UGREEN headphone stand review where we put it through its paces.
In terms of storage options for headphones, most users will primarily veer towards simply plunking it on a table or electing the use of a stand be it a hook that perches under a table or, in the case of our UGREEN headphone stand unit, as a standalone design that also helps display your headphones on your desk while keeping it within easy reach.
What’s in the box
Also designated as model LP143, the UGREEN headphone stand costs RM33.78 and comes in a flat pack much like something from Ikea.
It slides open to reveal a brushed aluminium base with a single hole and a rubberised underside, a single screw and an L-shaped stand where you place the headphones on. They also toss in a quick start manual and an Allen key.
UGREEN headphone stand review – Assembly
Getting it assembled is a straightforward process that doesn’t really require a manual. Once assembled, you get a sleek yet classy looking stand that’s finished in brushed metal save for a chromed portion at the top which has a stylised notch to wrap up cables in case you are storing wired headphones.
When properly assembled, the UGREEN headphone stand is sturdy and wobble free, stretching up 25cm high from the base with the ability to take a single headphone.
The underside of the stand is also lined with rubber which prevents it from slipping or wobbling.
While it’s hard to speculate, the use of chrome on a portion of the headphone rest is presumably as much for stylistic reasons as it is to create a smooth, clean surface to place the headphones on.
There has also been some forethought in the design as the ends of the stand are elegantly rounded to prevent headphones from snagging when you’re taking them off or putting it back on.
Should you buy the UGREEN headphone stand?
I tested the UGREEN headphone stand with a pair of Razer Kraken V3 X wired headphones that weigh 285g. The chromed surfaces and rounded corners of the stand ensured that the headphones were stored safely without any damage.
The plush upholstery on the headband did not incur any damage even after dangling on it for several days and the sturdiness of the stand allows it to stand up to heavy use.
If you own a pair of headphones are looking for a way to both store and display it in a simple and elegant fashion on your desk, the UGREEN headphone stand represents excellent value and ought to be tops on your shopping list.
