I am looking for a stand for my APM, anyone know of a stand that will charge them?

I’ve been using the 12south Fermata stand but it is discontinued and pretty hard to find new. It does have a USB port on the bottom so you can charge the APM with lightening.

I kind of want a "sleep stand" that will let them hang like a normal stand, but with a magnet in the middle where the cans touch, that will force them into the full low power mode.

This would be a really cool stand, if all the functions you said could be realized.

I like this stand cause it has a place for my charging cord. Fits the APMS beautifully and looks good. See the link below.

Does anyone have concern with hanging these on a stand wearing out the mesh prematurely?

Nope...mine are either on my ears or a stand. And in my case when I’m out and about or know I won’t be using them for awhile.(at nite sleeping for example)

Yes. Definitely. Solving that, I am wondering what power management is like on them. Apple probably anticipated stands where people would "charge" them every time they were set down.

Not sure about that. But I'm kind of counting on not having to put them in the "case" every time I set them down.

This is a pretty new listing on amazon. I want to 3D print my own, but won't have my printer for a while. I need a stand now so I'm going to give it a go.

I do not want to hang mine, and the ease of charging is ideal as was demo'd in the 3d print thread about this.

Product page says:
  • Silicone material with a smooth finish
  • Holds the Airpods Max in place and keeps a firm grip on it with no wobble.
  • Prevents cable scatter and saves space
Will post a review ITT when I have used it for a bit.

I have one of these (or a similar one). One issue is that the charging cable isn’t held in place so when you “push” the APM on to the charger, it pushes the cable out the other side.

Have you continued using it? How is the material? Have you tried securing it underneath with an office "binder" clip or something else?

I’ve stopped for now. Not sure how a binder clip would help, it really needs to be secured from the outside to stop it pushing in

I received this product and will be returning it.

The material is great. But that’s about the only good part.

This stand requires the headphone fans be turned, and they won’t stand up unless you also have them in Apple’s “case.”

The value of the charger is completely diminished if you have to take these steps every time you put them down. You might as well lay them on the desk.

Also, the color for the blues is wrong.
