Protect Those HeadphonesSatechi 2-in-1 Headphone Stand Photograph: Julian ChokkattuEven durable headphones are easy to damage. We have lost pairs to folks standing on them, cats and robot vacuums attacking the cables, and chairs rolling over them. I have learned that a stand or holder is worth the investment if it keeps those cans off the floor. Even if your kids only sometimes remember to use it, that could extend the likely lifespan of their headphones.We use the Satechi 2-in-1 Headphone Stand with Wireless Charger ($80), which also has a spot for charging your phone on the base, but there’s no…
