Standing 11.5 inches tall, it supports headphones up to 22 lbs (10 kg), making it one of the most capable desktop headphone stands in its class. A contoured silicone cradle accommodates headbands up to 3.5 inches wide, protecting softer materials from impressions and uneven wear, while silicone base padding anchors the stand to the desk. Available in matte black and white to pair with Kanto's SP Series speaker stands. Available now at Vinyl Sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHeavy-duty steel frame for larger headphones\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H2 is designed for the physical demands of larger, heavier over-ear headphones that lightweight stands struggle to hold securely. Large planar magnetic and full-size dynamic headphones often combine wide headbands with heavier chassis that challenge smaller stands with narrow bases. The H2 answers with an industrial-grade steel frame and a weighted rectangular base measuring 4.3 by 7.1 inches, giving a wide, low center of gravity that resists tipping under even the heaviest consumer headphone loads. The 11.5-inch height keeps the ear cups clear of the desk surface, preventing contact that could compress or deform pad materials during storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eContoured silicone cradle for wide headbands\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany premium audiophile headphones use headbands significantly wider than the 2-inch standard of entry-level stands. The H2's silicone cradle is contoured to accept headbands up to 3.5 inches wide, covering the full range of current consumer and professional designs. The silicone grips without adhesion, cushions without permanent deformation, and holds its shape over years of daily use. Softer coverings including leatherette, lambskin, alcantara, and memory foam can be stored on the H2 indefinitely without impression marks or surface cracking from a hard cradle edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKanto H2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePremium universal desktop headphone stand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStand height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.5 in (29.4 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.3 x 7.1 in (11 x 18 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall (W x D x H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.3 x 7.1 x 11.6 in (11 x 18 x 29.4 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax headband width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5 in (approx. 8.9 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 lbs (10 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel with weighted base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCradle material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContoured silicone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase padding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilicone non-slip pads\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvailable finishes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatte black, matte white\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible headphones\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOn-ear and over-ear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKanto, Vancouver, Canada\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Kanto H2?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Kanto H2 is a premium heavy-duty desktop headphone stand built from a weighted steel frame measuring 4.3 by 7.1 inches at the base and standing 11.5 inches tall. Its contoured silicone cradle fits headbands up to 3.5 inches wide, it supports up to 22 lbs, and it comes in matte black and matte white. It is designed for larger on-ear and over-ear headphones, including planar magnetic and full-size dynamic models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the Kanto H2 and the Kanto H1?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe H2 is a significant step up from the H1: a wider 3.5-inch silicone cradle versus 2 inches, a 22 lb capacity versus 6.6 lbs, a weighted rectangular base versus the H1's circular base, and 1.5 inches more height. For listeners with large planar magnetic or studio headphones who want maximum stability and headband protection, the H2 is the better choice, while the H1 suits lighter everyday headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the Kanto H2 hold large planar magnetic headphones?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The H2's 22 lb capacity far exceeds the weight of even the heaviest consumer planar magnetic and large-format dynamic headphones, and the 3.5-inch cradle accommodates their broad headband assemblies. The weighted steel base provides the tip resistance needed to hold heavier headphones securely without rocking during placement and removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the H2's cradle leave marks on premium headband materials?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The contoured silicone cradle spreads the headphone's weight across a curved surface rather than concentrating it at a single edge, eliminating the pressure that causes permanent deformation in leatherette, lambskin, alcantara, and memory foam. Headphones stored on the H2 for extended periods can be removed without visible marks or compression damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy pair the H2 with Kanto SP Series speaker stands?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe H2 shares the same industrial design language and matte black and white finishes as Kanto's SP Series desktop speaker stands, so pairing them creates a cohesive, unified desktop audio setup where your headphone stand and speaker stands share a consistent look rather than reading as mismatched components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Kanto H2 suitable for a studio or dedicated listening room?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The 22 lb capacity and weighted base handle heavy, high-value studio and audiophile headphones without stability concerns, while the silicone cradle protects premium headband materials that are expensive to repair. Its clean industrial look integrates naturally into studio furniture and desktop setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere can I buy the Kanto H2 in the USA?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Kanto H2 premium desktop headphone stand is available at Vinyl Sound with shipping across the USA.
