I've looked into banana stands. I have a ugly white plastic one and it does its job as well as any fancy stand. The metal banana stands are very nice looking but I have not found them in any stores I have looked. With the metal banana stands you have to be careful with the hook that you hang the headphones on because they will make a permanent indentation or scratches on the headphone. It is best to modify the hook on those to alleviate any wear on the headband and to make the hook more stable for headphones rather than bananas.
A nice wood stand is what I want now.
