Plus, the built-in wireless charging capabilities work to power up your QI-enabled devices.<\/p>\n<div class=\"review-card-body-inline\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like\"><\/span>Here&#8217;s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Sleek design<\/li>\n<li>Strong enough for heavy headphones<\/li>\n<li>Built-in charging capabilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Expensive<\/li>\n<li>Requires QC adapter for fast charging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While the wireless charging and headphone storage features are tempting, they\u2019ll cost you.

A single metal rod connects the headphone rest to the base of the stand. The base is simple, featuring a tiny Benks logo. Plus, it\u2019s slightly weighted with a non-slip bottom.<\/p>\n<p>While the design is simple, this stand is sturdy enough to hold even the heaviest of headphones. I only tested this stand using some simple and lightweight Bluetooth headphones, I did do everything but flip my desk trying to get it to fall over. It never fell over.<\/p>\n<p>I also applied some pressure to the headphone rest and the stand didn\u2019t budge. This is good news, especially if your headphones are an investment piece.<\/p>\n<p>The stand did come unassembled. However, the included screw and Allen wrench were all that was required to get this bad boy in business. A 4-foot-long (1.2m)\u00a0USB-C-to-C charging cable was also included in the box. However, there was no AC power adapter. You\u2019ll need to purchase one if you don\u2019t already have one (more on this below).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Compatible_Headphones\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Compatible Headphones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.benks.com\/products\/grand-pro-headphone-stand#:~:text=hardly%20be%20overturned.-,Wide%20Compability,-Brand\">According to Benks<\/a>, this stand will hold a wide range of headphone types, including <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0863TXGM3?tag=reviewgeekreviews-20\">Sony WH-1000XM4<\/a>,\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Beats-Solo3-Wireless-Ear-Headphones\/dp\/B07YVYZ8T5\/?tag=reviewgeekreviews-20\">Beats Solo 3<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07Q9MJKBV\/?tag=reviewgeekreviews-20\">Bose NC700<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B072BY1H95\/?tag=reviewgeekreviews-20\">Logitech 6433<\/a>, and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/763494\/best-headphones\/\">many more<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wireless_Charging_Capability_Fast_Charging_and_Qi-Enabled_Devices\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Wireless Charging Capability: Fast Charging and Qi-Enabled Devices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-121941 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/06\/27b7e466.jpg\" alt=\"Benks Grand Pro Headphone Stand's wireless Qi charging pad\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Brenna Miles\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Brenna Miles<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<strong>Output: <\/strong>Fast charging: Up to 15W, iPhones: Up to 7.5W, All other Qi-enabled devices: 5W<\/p>\n<p><strong>Device compatibility: <\/strong>Fast charging and\u00a0Qi-enabled devices\n<\/div>\n<p>The wireless charging pad is compatible with both fast charging and Qi-enabled devices. However, to use the 15W fast charge capabilities, you will need a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08LV7J839\/?tag=reviewgeekreviews-20\">QC2.0\/3.0 adapter<\/a>. Otherwise, the standard charge output is 7.5W for iPhones and 5W for all other Qi-enabled devices.<\/p>\n<p>To test the charging capabilities, I placed my iPhone 11 on the pad at 37% battery. I got to full charge after 2 hours and 45 minutes. This was without a quick charge adapter, of course.<\/p>\n<p>After about 26 minutes, my phone stopped charging and a red blinking LED light was shown on the charging pad. The instruction booklet simply stated that the red LED light was a warning. However, it didn\u2019t say what the warning was for.<\/p>\n<p>I also searched the website and couldn\u2019t find any information about the light. After a few seconds, I did replace my device and it began charging again. I chalked it up to my phone not being in the right position, as getting my device at just the right spot to charge did take a few tries the first go around.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Overall_An_Expensive_Home_for_Your_Headphones\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">Overall: An Expensive Home for Your Headphones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Overall, I enjoyed the\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/BENKS-Headphone-Earphone-Wireless-Charging\/dp\/B09NKK931D\/?tag=reviewgeekreviews-20\">Benks Grand Pro Headphone Stand with Wireless Charging<\/a>\u00a0and not having my headphones taking up space on my desk. I also appreciated being able to place my phone on it to charge without going to grab my charging cable. The charger didn\u2019t ever get too warm and it connected easily to my device (once I found the sweet spot, that is).<\/p>\n<p>Is this the best option out there? It truly depends on your budget. If you\u2019re simply looking for a sturdy stand for your headphones, this stand delivers. However, there are other options available at much less than the $59.99 price tag.<\/p>\n<p>For example, this <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09P8BGDH3?tag=reviewgeekreviews-20\">SIKAI CASE Bamboo Headphone Stand Holder<\/a> is made using durable and modern bamboo. Not only does it look great, but it also provides sturdy storage for virtually any size headphones. Plus, the price is only $29.99.<\/p>\n<p>If the wireless charging pad is a must, this <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09Q371G49?tag=reviewgeekreviews-20\">Laelr 4 in 1 Wireless Charger Headphone Stand<\/a> provides fast charging for Qi-enabled devices.
