The order: Headphone stand for 5.18 euros
Here, too, the price is tempting, because even on Amazon you put easily double. And also the Temu photographer surely had his creative day and fun children’s headphones at hand. But I don’t want to spoil anyone’s fun. And already as a spoiler: Don’t lick it!
Stand for what, actually?
The (h)hasty trinity is quickly put together, it even fits and sits reasonably tight. The black color of the three different surfaces is also relatively identical. A base made of ABS, tubing made of aluminum and the flexible support with a cover made of some kind of imitation leather. The main thing is soft headrest (according to the manufacturer).
One has even thought of thin rubbers on the underside, so that nothing slips. That is quite commendable. By the way, the tube is heavier than the stand and the support together. And it should actually have been even heavier, since it’s longer.
You can see very nicely: even if they are not my biggest headphones, the stand is much too low. The ear pads already sit on the foot. I even had to unclick the plugs of the cables and remove the latter, otherwise the earphones would have stood on the plugs and the headband would have slipped out of the support as well as fallen gallantly on the table together with the headphones. That works for mini headphones from dwarf land, but not for real parts. Well thought, badly done, nasty laugh. But it’s about to get even worse.
Workmanship and material
Let’s start with the aluminum tube. The powder coating is okay, even if it is only wafer-thin. Visible scratches are pre-programmed here, which could and should have been made thicker. But this also costs money.
The material analysis shows the carbon-containing black coating, oxidized aluminum underneath and pure aluminum with various sprinkles.
The base was color-matched well, even though the matte surface texture from the casting mold is of course not the same as the powder coating. The eye only sees this at second glance.
We’re looking at an organic plastic here, it’s likely to be inexpensive ABS that has been appropriately pigmented black.
The soft coating on the headphone support also roughly matches in color, but it is a bit darker. However, you won’t notice that in normal use.
Much worse, however, is the color that has been added. Black arsenic has no place in such a product, even if it is cheap! For this reason alone, because arsenic belongs to the carcinogenic substances, the headphone stand must be disposed of. I will definitely not use it, not even for my small Aventho Wireless from Beyerdynamic, which are the only ones that fit reasonably comfortably on it.
Conclusion
Aside from the spiller-like design in a dwarf size – I don’t want anything to do with arsenic. Black arsenic is also a frequently recurring point of criticism in cheap toys, and it’s really terrible how easily and uncomplicatedly such hazardous waste can find its way into Germany for sale. It doesn’t even have to be cheap children’s toys.
