Question: Will the Omega hold extra large headphones like the round Stax types or the Sennheiser HD 800?
Answer: Yes - these headphones fit without trouble.
Question: Won't the tension on the spring loading wear out the headphones over time?
Answer: Any headphone is designed to be worn on a human head for many hours with comfort and during these hours there is no loss of tension in the spring. The Omega headphone stand features a smaller opening angle than the human head and thus puts less tension on the headphone than you personally would when wearing the headphone.
Question: Is there any glossy or painted version available?
Answer: All the Omega units come with real wood veneer coated with a matte clear lacquer. Unlike with glossy or painted versions this has got the advantage of not showing off grease, dust and dandruff that were transported from the pads of your headphone onto the stand. Upon closer inspection this is a major advantage over any versions in glass or acrylic.
