Our Picks

New Bee RGB Aluminum Headphone Stand

Best RGB With USB1 of 7

New Bee RGB Aluminum Headphone Stand on Amazon (opens in a new tab)

New Bee's aluminum RGB stand adds USB-C and USB-A ports.

Best for

Lit desks.

Skip if

If budget leads, the New Bee stand was cheaper at our last price check.

Why we like it

Its wide weighted base resists tipping. It adds a USB-C and a USB-A port for charging or data, and seven RGB modes light the stand. New Bee offers 24-hour customer support.

The New Bee RGB's USB ports need a cable to the PC; they are not a substitute for a powered hub. Worth noting too: aluminum build. Another plus is tallest height of the picks (9.53 in). On price it sat fifth of 7, between the cheaper Anchor and the pricier UPERGO walnut, at the time of writing.

Key dimensions & specs

  • Type: Desk stand
  • Height: 9.53 in
  • USB ports: USB-A plus USB-C
  • Extras: RGB, weighted base

Pros

  • USB ports (USB-A plus USB-C)
  • Aluminum build
  • Wide weighted base
  • Tallest height of the picks (9.53 in)

Cons

  • Costs more than the New Bee stand at the time of writing
Tilted Nation RGB Headset Stand with Mouse Bungee

Best With Bungee2 of 7

Tilted Nation RGB Headset Stand with Mouse Bungee on Amazon (opens in a new tab)

Tilted Nation's stand adds a mouse bungee and a 2-port USB hub.

Best for

Wired mice.

Skip if

Price-first buyers should look at the New Bee stand, which cost less when we checked.

Why we like it

The weighted base has non-slip grips. Its RGB base adds two USB 2.0 ports and a mouse bungee, which tidies a gaming desk. The Tilted Nation's USB ports need a cable to the PC; they are not a substitute for a powered hub.

It was the highest-priced of the 7 picks at the time of writing, so the case for it rests on what it adds over the UPERGO walnut and the rest. The maker doesn't give its height; if that figure matters, the New Bee RGB comes in at 9.53 in.

Key dimensions & specs

  • Type: Desk stand
  • USB ports: 2x USB 2.0
  • Extras: Mouse bungee, RGB

Pros

  • USB ports (2x USB 2.0)
  • Built-in mouse bungee
  • 2-port USB 2.0 hub
  • Weighted base with non-slip grips

Cons

  • Costs more than the New Bee stand at the time of writing
UPERGO Walnut Headphone Stand with Controller Holder

Best Wood3 of 7

UPERGO Walnut Headphone Stand with Controller Holder on Amazon (opens in a new tab)

UPERGO's stand is solid walnut with a weighted base.

Best for

Console players.

Skip if

Price-first buyers should look at the New Bee stand, which cost less when we checked.

Why we like it

It adds a controller holder. Its hollow walnut base hides small items like ear pads and cables, and it snaps together in under two minutes without tools. A wide arc fits bulky gaming headsets.

It has a dedicated spot for a controller as well as a headset. When we checked, only the New Bee RGB and cheaper picks cost less, and the Tilted Nation cost more. If you want a confirmed height, look to the New Bee RGB instead: it comes in at 9.53 in, while this one gives no figure.

Key dimensions & specs

  • Type: Desk stand
  • Extras: Controller holder, storage

Pros

  • Solid walnut wood
  • Weighted base
  • Controller holder

Cons

  • Costs more than the New Bee stand at the time of writing
Dual Aluminum Under-Desk Headset Holder

Best Dual Hanger4 of 7

Dual Aluminum Under-Desk Headset Holder on Amazon (opens in a new tab)

This dual hanger holds two headsets, up to 11 lb with the included screws.

Best for

Two headsets.

Skip if

If budget leads, the New Bee stand was cheaper at our last price check.

Why we like it

It fits headbands up to 1.57 inches wide. It is rust-proof aluminium and doubles as a hook for cables, VR gear or a bag. Raised tips keep headsets from sliding off.

It also comes with two hooks. Stick the dual hook hanger to a clean, smooth underside; textured or dusty surfaces weaken adhesive. Its price falls between the New Bee stand and the EURPMASK clamp, based on our last check. Buyers who need a confirmed height should compare it with the New Bee RGB, which comes in at 9.53 in.

Key dimensions & specs

  • Type: Under-desk dual hanger
  • Load: 11 lbs
  • Mounting: Adhesive (4.4 lb) or screws (11 lb)

Pros

  • Two hooks
  • 11 lbs with the included screws
  • Headbands up to 1.57 inches wide
  • Two hooks rated for 11 lb with screws

Cons

  • Costs more than the New Bee stand at the time of writing
EURPMASK Rotating Clamp-On Headphone Stand

Best Clamp Hanger5 of 7

EURPMASK Rotating Clamp-On Headphone Stand on Amazon (opens in a new tab)

EURPMASK's hanger clamps to desks 0.31 to 1.57 inches thick with rubber pads.

Best for

Renters.

Skip if

Skip it if price comes first: the New Bee stand cost less when we checked.

Why we like it

The hook rotates out of the way. It clamps under or beside the desk and rotates, and a cable clip keeps the headset cord tidy. It also holds a bag or other small items.

It fits almost all wired and wireless headphones. Check your desk thickness against the EURPMASK clamp's clamp range. Before buying, weigh one limit: costs more than the New Bee stand at the time of writing. Buyers who need a confirmed height should compare it with the New Bee RGB, which comes in at 9.53 in.

Key dimensions & specs

  • Type: Under-desk hanger
  • Mounting: Clamp, 0.31 to 1.57 in desks

Pros

  • Spring clamp for desks 0.31 to 1.57 inches thick
  • Rubber pads on the clamp ends
  • Rotating hook

Cons

  • Costs more than the New Bee stand at the time of writing
Elevation Lab The Anchor Under-Desk Headphone Mount

Smallest Hanger6 of 7

Elevation Lab The Anchor Under-Desk Headphone Mount on Amazon (opens in a new tab)

Elevation Lab's Anchor sticks under the desk with 3M adhesive.

Best for

Minimal desks.

Skip if

If budget leads, the New Bee stand was cheaper at our last price check.

Why we like it

It is the smallest hanger here. It sticks under the desk to keep headphones out of sight, with thick silicone over a steel core. It holds two headsets.

It now uses a stronger European-made 3M adhesive, backed by a guarantee. It also offers a small footprint. Stick the Anchor to a clean, smooth underside; textured or dusty surfaces weaken adhesive.

Before buying, weigh one limit: costs more than the New Bee stand at the time of writing. The maker doesn't give its height; if that figure matters, the New Bee RGB comes in at 9.53 in.

Key dimensions & specs

  • Type: Under-desk hanger
  • Mounting: 3M adhesive

Pros

  • Genuine 3M adhesive
  • Under-desk mount
  • Small footprint
  • 3M adhesive mounting, the only one here

Cons

  • Costs more than the New Bee stand at the time of writing
New Bee Headphone Stand

Best Budget Stand7 of 7

New Bee Headphone Stand on Amazon (opens in a new tab)

New Bee's stand is 8.85 inches tall on a 3.7 inch footprint.

Best for

Tight budgets.

Skip if

Pass on it if height of 8.85 in, behind the New Bee RGB (9.53 in rules it out for your setup.

Why we like it

It is a basic, low-cost desk stand. Its aluminium body and TPU rubber pads hold headsets of all sizes, from studio cans to gaming headsets. It keeps a headset off the desk and easy to grab.

It also comes with a price under $10 at the time of writing. No other pick here cost less at our last price check, and the dual hook hanger was closest. What it gives up: height of 8.85 in, behind the New Bee RGB (9.53 in); by contrast, the New Bee RGB comes in at 9.53 in.

Key dimensions & specs

  • Type: Desk stand
  • Height: 8.85 in

Pros

  • 8.85 inch height
  • Small 3.7 inch footprint
  • Price under $10 at the time of writing

Cons

  • Height of 8.85 in, behind the New Bee RGB (9.53 in)

What to Look for in a Gaming Headset Stand and Holders

Key buying criteria so you get the right fit the first time.

  1. Desk stand or under-desk hanger

    A stand shows the headset on the desk; a hanger clamps or sticks under the edge and frees the surface.

  2. Weighted bases stop tipping

    A heavy headset on a light stand can tip. Look for a weighted or wide base with non-slip pads.

  3. USB ports add a hub

    Some stands add USB-A or USB-C ports for a mouse dongle or phone charging. They need a cable to the PC.

  4. Fit the headband

    Wide or heavy headsets need a broad, padded cradle. Check the headband width or load.

  5. Clamp or adhesive

    Clamp hangers move easily; adhesive hangers are permanent-ish and need a clean surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do RGB stands need power?

Yes, over USB from the PC or a wall adapter.

Will a stand hold a heavy headset?

Most do. A weighted base or a stated load rating is the thing to check.

Can a stand hold a controller too?

Some add a controller hook. Check the product page for one.

Do I need a headset stand?

It keeps the headband and cushions from being crushed in a drawer and keeps the cable tidy.

Will an adhesive hanger damage my desk?

It can leave residue on removal. Use a clamp hanger on a desk you want to keep clean.

Bottom Line

New Bee's aluminum RGB stand is the pick for USB-C and USB-A on a weighted base. Tilted Nation adds a mouse bungee, and the dual hanger holds two headsets.
