How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
My top pick is the cozoo Headphone Stand, because it's the only stand here that also replaces the power strip on your desk — three USB ports plus two AC outlets in the same footprint as a plain headphone hanger.
• cozoo Headphone Stand — best for decluttering a desk that's short on outlets; pick this if you want a headphone hanger, a 20W USB-C port, two Quick Charge USB-A ports and two 1250W AC sockets in one unit.
• Corsair ST100 — best for a wired headset setup that needs virtual surround; pick this if you want a built-in 3.5mm analog input with 7.1 surround processing, dual USB 3.1 ports and nine-zone RGB under Corsair's CUE software.
• KDD Gaming Headphones Stand — best for controller storage next to your headset; pick this if you want a rotatable stand that holds one headphone and two controllers (or four controllers), with 9 lighting modes and a detachable, packable build.
• Razer Base Station V2 — best for large headsets and a clean, stable dock; pick this if you need the extra height and anti-slip ledge for a big headset, plus two USB 3.1 ports and a 3.5mm jack with a built-in 7.1 DAC.
The cozoo is a headphone stand that decided to be a desk power hub as well. The upright hanger holds your headset, and the base packs three USB charging ports — one USB-C at 20W Power Delivery and two USB-A at 18W on Quick Charge 3.0 — plus two three-prong AC outlets rated to 1250W. The shell is a mix of ABS and aluminum, and it stands about 10.4 inches tall on a footprint of roughly 4.17 by 3.94 inches, so it takes up about as much desk space as a coffee mug.
In daily use, that combination is the whole point. Your phone, tablet, controller or power bank charges from the front ports without hunting for a wall adapter, and the AC outlets let you run a laptop brick, a monitor, speakers or a console off the same base. The outlets are spaced so they don't block each other, which is the kind of detail you only appreciate after fighting with a cramped strip. cozoo also builds in overload, over-current and short-circuit protection, and the fire-resistant housing is a sensible choice for something sitting on a wooden desk.
Who is it for? In my opinion, anyone building a gaming or work-from-home desk with too few wall sockets. It does two jobs in one footprint, and the USB-C port means newer phones and tablets charge at a decent rate rather than trickling.
The trade-off is that you're buying a power strip and a hanger fused together. If you already have plenty of outlets and just want a minimal stand, the extra ports and cable are bulk you don't need. And a powered stand means one more thing to plug in and switch off.
The Corsair ST100 is the stand for someone whose headset plugs into a wire, not a dongle. Alongside the aluminum hanger, it has a built-in 3.5mm analog input that delivers either plain stereo or 7.1 surround — so a wired headset gets multi-channel processing from the stand itself rather than from your motherboard's audio. Two USB 3.1 inputs sit on the front for charging and data, and RGB lighting runs across nine zones.
The 7.1 processing is the feature that separates it from everything else on this list. If you own a decent wired headset and your PC's onboard audio is thin, the ST100 gives you a cleaner path to surround sound without buying a separate DAC or sound card. The dual USB ports are genuinely useful too — a headset, phone, or controller can charge while you play.
Setup and control run through Corsair's CUE software, which handles both the lighting and the audio settings and syncs with other Corsair RGB gear. If the rest of your peripherals are Corsair, the stand slots into that ecosystem instead of fighting it. Construction is aluminum with a painted finish, and it measures roughly 4.72 by 9.84 by 4.72 inches.
The trade-off is scope. If your headset is wireless or connects over USB, the 3.5mm surround input does nothing for you, and you'd be paying for audio hardware you won't use. Wireless-first buyers are better served by a simpler stand with just charging ports.
The KDD stand solves a problem the others ignore: what to do with your controllers. It's a rotatable headset hanger that also takes a detachable controller holder — one headphone and two controllers at once, or up to four controllers if you'd rather use it that way. The contact points are soft rubber, so nothing gets scratched, and the whole thing assembles from three parts in about half a minute and comes apart again for travel.
Its other trick is the port selection. You get two USB ports for data and charging, a 3.5mm jack for wired headsets, and one Type-C port. That's a wider mix than most stands offer, which matters if you're plugging in a mix of older and newer gear. Press the single button and you cycle through nine lighting modes — seven-colour fast flashing, seven-colour breathing, or a steady single colour in red, green, blue, purple, light blue, yellow or white. One button also cuts all power to the circuitry, which is a neat safety touch when you're stepping away.
Compatibility is broad and undemanding: plug and play, no drivers, and it works across Windows versions, Linux and Mac. The body is hardened plastic with rubber trim rather than metal. It's about 12.2 by 7.87 by 1.88 inches packed.
The trade-off is build feel. Plastic and rubber won't match the aluminium of the Corsair or Razer stands, and the rotating design means more moving parts. It's also the pick with the most going on, so if you want one simple object on your desk, look elsewhere. But for a multi-controller household, I think it earns its place.
The Base Station V2 is the stand built for big headsets. Razer gave it a taller stand and an anti-slip ledge so larger, heavier headsets sit properly instead of sliding off, and the whole thing rests on a high-friction rubber base with a low centre of gravity. Height is about 10.94 inches, the base diameter is roughly 4.72 inches, and the aluminium build is anodised rather than painted.
The port cluster is PC-focused: two USB 3.1 charging ports and a single 3.5mm audio combo jack wired to a built-in 7.1 surround DAC. So a wired headset gets surround processing straight from the stand, the same idea as the Corsair but with one fewer USB port. Chroma RGB adds 16.8 million colours and a range of effects, and it syncs with the rest of Razer's lighting ecosystem if you're already in it.
Two practical details stand out. The base detaches from the upright, which makes the stand far easier to pack or move between rooms — a small thing that most stands don't bother with. And the rubber base plus low centre of gravity means you're not nervously watching an expensive headset wobble every time you bump the desk.
The trade-offs are honest ones. The 3.5mm DAC only benefits wired headsets, so wireless users pay for hardware they won't use. Razer's lighting ecosystem is at its best if the rest of your setup is Razer. And an aluminium stand with a weighted base is a more substantial object on your desk than a plastic hanger — which is either the appeal or the problem, depending on how much room you have.
We compared published specifications and features across the four stands — port types and counts, materials, height and footprint, mounting and stability design, lighting control, and audio processing. No stand was ranked on price or popularity, and no brand paid for placement; the order reflects our independent editorial judgement about which design suits which desk. Where a feature only helps a certain kind of buyer, we've said so rather than pretending it's universal.
Only if you want to charge devices from it. A powered stand like the cozoo, KDD or Razer needs a wall connection to feed its USB ports. If you just want somewhere to hang your headset, an unpowered hanger does the job with no cable.
Size varies by design. The Razer Base Station V2 is specifically built taller with an anti-slip ledge for larger headsets, and the KDD is described as suitable for all brand headphone sizes. The cozoo and Corsair are more conventional single-hook hangers, so very wide headsets may sit less securely.
Both include a 3.5mm input with 7.1 surround processing for wired headsets. The Corsair offers two USB 3.1 ports and nine-zone RGB controlled through CUE software; the Razer offers two USB 3.1 ports, Chroma RGB, a taller anti-slip design and a detachable base. Neither helps a purely wireless headset.
The KDD can. Its detachable controller holder takes two controllers alongside one headphone, or up to four controllers on its own. The other three are headphone-only designs.
