Simple but well made.
If you love your headphones, you’ll love this thing.
If you think you might need it, but it, you’ll be glad you did.

I am sure that this headphone hanger will work just fine if it is used as the manufacturer intended it to be used. I wasn't really looking for a hanger that would clamp to a microphone stand. I was actually looking for a suitable hanger that I could clamp to the side frame of my upright rack enclosure (with the lids removed) at about eye level when I was seated, but I could not find anything that was made for that purpose. I did find a hanger that could be screwed into a threaded hole in a rack rail (if one was actually accessible, at a suitable spot), but determined that headphones hanging from that product would be in my way.
I looked at various hangers on Amazon, and figured that this would suit my purposes. As-is, straight out of the packaging, it would not work for me, but I expected that. If I tried to tighten the screw on the clamp as it was, the angled portion of the clamp would just slide off of the frame.
I just used a vise and a hammer to straighten out the angled portion that was meant to fit around a microphone stand. This resulted in a flat/straight length that was just right for me. I put a slight inside angle on the end of the modified portion, to provide a little tension for a better grip. All that it needed after that was a little touch-up primer and paint.
I think that Stedman should consider offering a product like this that could be attached to the frame of a rack enclosure. For now, I just recommend modifying it the way that I did. I am very pleased with the modified headphone hanger. I don't think that I could have used anything else that I saw advertised.

Pros:
The hook and clamp is thick, sturdy steel. The bolt and tightening knob are both sturdy as well. It feels well-made and reliable.

Cons:
It'd be a huge improvement if this had a flat edge piece on the end of the tightening bolt to help it hold its clamp. (All that's there is a small glob of glue/plastic.) My hook has slipped twice in two months under the weight of my headset.

I also wish that the lip of the hook were a tad longer. I'd guess that the lip is 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch long, which suggests that it serves as a temporary rest more than a storage hook. I'm not sure anything has slipped off, but I'm careful with the angle because I keep it on an angled-mic boom.

My desk had a vertical board that this could easily mount to. Now, my headphones don’t clutter up my desk. It works exactly, as desired. Took off one star, because it seems a little over-priced.

I agree with the previous reviewer that the Stedman SHH Studio Headphone Hanger is too expensive. However, I have a TV cart and other wire shelving which use metal rods as support. The SHH is perfect for that application and is sturdily made–it should last a lifetime.

The flat part of the SHH is 2 1/2 inches long and a little under 1 inch wide, so it will accomodate any headphone. It’s one of those cases where if nothing else will work, it’s a solution.
