Overview

This Workshop Project shows you how to build a simple, clean headset hanger using inexpensive materials and zero tools. It works with gaming headsets, studio headphones, wireless headsets, and lightweight VR headsets.

No screws, no drilling, no damage — just stick, mount, and hang.

Works with:

  • Weighted bases
  • Plastic hangers
  • Metal hooks
  • 3D‑printed hangers
  • Adhesive‑backed hooks

What You’ll Need

  • Headset hanger (plastic, metal, or adhesive hook)
  • Nano tape or strong double‑sided adhesive
  • Optional: rubber bumpers for grip
  • Optional: cable clip for headset wire
  • Optional: weighted base (for freestanding version)

Everything here is cheap and easy to find at Walmart, Amazon, Dollar Tree, or hardware stores.

Step-by-Step Build

1. Choose Your Mounting Style

Pick the style that fits your desk:

  • Under‑desk: Hidden and clean
  • Side‑mount: Easy access
  • Wall‑mount: Great for display
  • Freestanding: No mounting needed

2. Prep the Surface

Clean the mounting area with:

  • Rubbing alcohol
  • A microfiber cloth

This removes dust and oils so the adhesive sticks properly.

3. Add Grip (Optional)

If your hanger is smooth plastic, add:

  • Rubber bumpers
  • Silicone pads

This prevents your headset from sliding.

4. Apply Nano Tape or Adhesive

Flip the hanger over and apply:

  • One long strip for under‑desk
  • Two small strips for side‑mount
  • Full coverage for wall‑mount

Press the tape firmly onto the hanger.

5. Mount the Hanger

Peel the protective film and press the hanger onto your surface:

  • Hold for 10–20 seconds
  • Make sure it’s straight
  • Check that it doesn’t wiggle

Nano tape bonds stronger over the next few hours.

6. Hang Your Headset

Place your headset on the hanger and check:

  • Balance
  • Angle
  • Clearance
  • Cable routing

If needed, adjust the hanger slightly before the adhesive fully cures.

  • Center it so it doesn’t tip.
