Once the Beats By Dre Headphone was surging, full-sized earphones were flailing. For decades, big “cans” were the only proper way to quietly tune in to the massive audio players kept in home A/V cabinets. Nonetheless by 2006, portable audio units were king, and their pocketable tiny white earbuds were everywhere. Then Beats by Dre came along and convinced individuals who big headphones were worth acquiring again, even for portable press players. Beats’ signature Studio headphones aren’t as simple to carry around as tiny earbuds, but as their growing popularity demonstrates, people haven’t seemed to mind.

blueLounge’s new Posto ($20) is a latest in a series of “big headphone” stands manufactured by Apple accessory companies. I’ve in the past tested heavy, all-metal options for example Just Mobile’s HeadStand, which hover around the $50 price and — to their credit score — try to do several nice little things to justify that kind of price point. There are also cheap headphone stands that are inclined to look… cheap Original Beats By Dr Dre is clearly the consequence of a different theory of design. The black version is constructed from several different materials that in some manner look nearly indistinguishable from another, reducing the cost, weight, and assembly challenges within other headphone stands. (A white and silver version uses different-looking pieces. ) Consequently, Posto works much similar to HeadStand, but costs less than half the price. If you’ve just dropped $250 or more on a set of big Beats By Dre Solo HD, Posto lets a person manage them without breaking the bank…
