dude where did you get that stand from? Amazing. You use the airpod's with the systems at all? I did at one point, but ended up just using the steelseries arctis 7x for both. Too convenient.

Thanks, my wife made it. Yeah I reluctantly bought the 3.5mm cable so I could use it with both. Sounds good but so far I’ve found the ‘3D Audio’ of the PS5 to be a little overrated.

Your wife did an amazing job. If it's not already it would make a great profession. I agree with the wire. And I also agree with the 3D audio. Just a buzz name to generate sales. Nothing extraordinary of which good headphones don't ordinarily produce.
 
I got this one from Amazon that does the job. It’s inexpensive and has a curved surface that’s easy on the headband mesh...

I got that exact one, mainly because it was available as a next day delivery and I needed another one.

As it turns out though, despite the inexpensive price, it’s actually really good. I’m not replacing it and I’d definitely recommend it.

I bought that one too, now just waiting for my APM to show up....
 
I found this silicone headset stand. It doesn't include a lightning connector, there is just a hole in the stand and requires that you use the Apple lightning connector that you already have. However that is a good thing because you can then use a magnetic connector with it such as this if you have USB-C or this if you still have the older USB-A ports and get a similar type of result as the Max Stand.
Found the same stand on Amazon last week and it arrived Monday.

Works well but only with the case attached, and the charger port is fine but very hard to line up and I'm scared that ill scratch the AirPods. Also don't like that the cable comes out the front and not the back but nothing a little Stanley knife cant fix.

Looking for a magnetic lightning cable that is space grey and not too bulky.

I was tired of hiding my Airpods Max to the case jsut for Low Power Mode, so i decided to make stand that support it. You just need to put headphones on the stand and it automatically goes into Low Power Mode

Looks nice! Could you provide more information about this stand? Can others make it or purchase it?

There is a very similar one coming to kickstarter soon. When they start it I'll post a link here for you. If it doesn't happen soon I'm going to just design my own...
 
saw this on kickstarter and backed it. love that it matches the color of the band

THANK YOU so much rosegoldoli for posting this. They had another Kickstarter a while back, but they set the amount needed ridiculously high;


I backed this new Kickstarter. Really hoping it goes through. I was going to build my own and ordered the magnetic lightning plug just yesterday :)

Off to Kickstarter, thank you for that link

its their second attempt....more waiting.
 
I've also backed it, backed the first one as well. The second one is for a shorter period and the fund total was smaller.
 
For anyone interested in a stylish mount for the AirPods Max, I just ordered this baby from Benks:

So far this is the best looking stand I found and the one that seams best designed for the Max, since the main holding part is shaped like the headband. It's aluminum so it must be qualitative. And it's also pretty inexpensive.

I just wish they'd made a space gray version to match my own AirPods, but this aluminum looks gorgeous.


I looked for hours on Amazon and Google to find an attractive stand, most of them were just not appealing or didn't give me a feeling of security regarding the headband protection over time. I was just about to give up when I stumbled upon this one. I'm glad I found it !

That’s pretty nice, and the price is right.

This looks perfect if it only came in black, space grey, graphite (Etc). I don’t want a random white stand on a black desk space grey headphones.
