How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a permanent, off-the-desk wall mount that holds a gaming headset, VR headset, hat or helmet out of harm's way, choose HIDEit Mounts Uni-H Universal Headset; if you need soft replacement ear pads to refresh worn cushions on an existing pair of headphones or an office headset, choose Nexarelle 2Pcs.
These two products share a category — headphone accessories — but almost nothing else. One is a steel wall bracket that hangs your gear. The other is a pair of leather cushions that sit on your ears. Buying the wrong one isn't a small mistake; it's a completely different job. So before you read any further, get clear on which job you actually have.
• HIDEit Mounts Uni-H biggest strength: A 16-gauge cold-rolled steel wall mount with a powder-coat finish, universal fit for headsets, VR headsets, hats and helmets, and hardware (drywall screws plus anchors rated for 25 lbs each) in the box.
• HIDEit Mounts Uni-H biggest trade-off: It's a mount, not a cushion — it does nothing for comfort or sound, and once it's on the wall, that spot is where your headset lives.
• Nexarelle 2Pcs biggest strength: Two 90mm / 3.5-inch leather ear pad cushions, 18mm / 0.71-inch thick, designed to reduce noise, limit sound leakage and lift music fidelity on most standard-size headphones and office headsets.
• Nexarelle 2Pcs biggest trade-off: Sizing is on you — the outer diameter is fixed at 90mm, so you must measure your headphone cups before ordering, and it's a wear item that will need replacing again.
• Who each pick is for: HIDEit Mounts Uni-H for anyone who wants their desk clear and their headset safe; Nexarelle 2Pcs for anyone whose current ear pads are flat, flaking or uncomfortable.
The Uni-H is a wall mount, plain and simple, and it's built like one. The body is 16-gauge cold-rolled steel — that's the same class of material you'd expect from a bracket meant to hold something in place for years, not months. The powder-coat finish is there to resist rust and chipping, and it also means the mount itself won't scratch the headband it's holding. Measuring 3 x 4.5 x 2 inches, it's a compact rectangle that takes up a sliver of wall and gives you back a chunk of desk.
This is the pick for you if your headset currently lives on a stand that eats desk space, or worse, on the floor where kids, pets and spilled drinks live. Hanging it on the wall puts it at eye level, easy to grab, and away from accidents. Installation is deliberately simple: no template, no drill required, stud mounting optional, and the box includes flat head drywall screws plus two drywall anchors rated for 25 lbs each. Skip it if you want something that improves comfort or audio — this mount does neither — or if you're in a rental where you don't want holes in the wall at all.
Nexarelle 2Pcs: Who It's For
The Nexarelle 2Pcs is a consumable, not a fixture. It's a two-pack of replacement ear pad cushions with a 90mm / 3.5-inch outer diameter and 18mm / 0.71-inch thickness, made from leather with a soft, smooth feel. The stated job is straightforward: swap out the tired pads on your headphones, headset or standard-size office headset and get back some comfort plus a bit of acoustic benefit. Nexarelle claims the cushions help prevent sound leakage, reduce noise and improve music fidelity — which is the standard reason a fresh, thicker pad helps: a better seal against your ear means less sound escaping and less outside noise getting in.
The catch is right there in the spec sheet, and Nexarelle says it plainly: confirm your headphone diameter before buying. The pads are universal in the sense that they suit most standard-size headphones, but 90mm is a fixed number, not a range. Measure the outer diameter of your current cups and the pad you're replacing before you order, and the install is simple — pull the old pads off, line the new ones up with the frame, press firmly around the edges until they're seated.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for clearing desk space → HIDEit Mounts Uni-H. It converts unused wall into storage, which is the entire point.
• Best for reviving worn-out headphones → Nexarelle 2Pcs. New cushions on old headphones is one of the cheapest upgrades in this hobby.
• Best for protecting gear from kids, pets and spills → HIDEit Mounts Uni-H. Off the desk and off the floor is the whole design brief.
• Best for VR headset owners → HIDEit Mounts Uni-H. It's explicitly built to hold PS VR, Vive and Quest 2 headsets, not just headphones.
• Best for office and call-center headsets → Nexarelle 2Pcs. Standard-size office headsets are one of its named use cases.
• Best for hats and helmets → HIDEit Mounts Uni-H. HIDEit designed it to fit practically anything that goes on your head.
• Best for durability under daily abuse → HIDEit Mounts Uni-H. Steel, powder-coated, wall-anchored — it isn't going to wear out.
• Best for a quick, tool-light fix → Nexarelle 2Pcs. No drilling, no anchors, no wall damage — just press new pads onto the frame.
I'd buy the HIDEit Mounts Uni-H. In my opinion it's the more useful purchase for most people reading this comparison, because it solves a problem that doesn't come back — your headset gets a permanent, secure home made of steel and rated hardware, and your desk stays clear for good. The Nexarelle 2Pcs is a good, sensible buy too, but only if you've measured your cups and confirmed the 90mm fit; it's a maintenance part, and maintenance parts get replaced again. If your ear pads are genuinely shot, buy the Nexarelle. If your headset just needs somewhere to live, buy the HIDEit.
It's designed as a universal mount for most headphones and headsets, and HIDEit also lists VR headsets, hats and helmets. If your headband is unusually wide or oddly shaped, check the mount's 3 x 4.5 x 2-inch footprint against your gear before ordering.
Only if your cup outer diameter matches the 90mm / 3.5-inch spec. Nexarelle specifically warns buyers to confirm their headphone diameter first, so measure before you commit.
No. HIDEit states a drill isn't required, stud mounting is optional, and the box includes drywall screws plus anchors rated for 25 lbs each — so drywall installation is the intended path.
