DS1 Small Desktop Speaker Stands, Pair

If I wanted to put my blinkers on I could mark these stands down for being pricey for what they are physically, and, yes, being just a trifle narrower than the speakers they were produced to support. Those are sort-of valid points, but I wonder how readily one would come up with a genuinely easily made or obtained alternative that is at least as effective. It's easy to come out with negative opinions, but I am more interested in the practical reality. For me, the stands are doing a remarkable job in greatly minimizing sound transmission to my computer desk from my new Audioengine A2+ speakers, with a significant subjective improvement in the sound. No, they don't completely stop such sound transmission - total isolation would be a real 'holy grail'! Nonetheless, before I was using those stands every loud passage in orchestral or organ music was causing vibration of my desk, which I could feel with my hand - and indeed could feel also right down the desk's legs, with the potential to disturb my neighbour below despite concrete floor and sound insulation underneath that - whereas now, with the stands, only the most extreme loud passages produce feelable vibration on my desk. Of course, their tilting the speakers upwards is just right for a computer desk, but if one wanted to use them, say, on high bookshelves, in some instances these stands might serve well reversed, so tilting the speakers a bit downwards.

Expensive for what you get but getting the tweeter on ear level is worth it. You could fashion something yourself out of wood or thick cardboard, but these are solid rubber and have useful surface decoupling for the heavy cabinets with no play and no effect on high volumes. Very expensive but I suppose if you send low volume stuff round the world that is it.

I found these stands for my A2+ to be a bit expensive for just some pieces of rubber! What pushed me towards buying them is my OCD for looks and assumed they would be the best at making the speakers look better and also read they improved the audio for the A2+, something I was very skeptical about but took the plunge anyway. Upon getting them out of the box, they were not much to look at and in my opinion did not visually speaking fit the speakers very well. However when it comes to audio it pretty much helped the A2+ in every way it increased clarity, opened the perceived space of the audio up and tightened and cleared up the bass which i was very happy about as it seemed very muddy before. These are definitely worth the money for how much they improve the audio but I like other reviewers have said, these should of come with the speakers. It feels a little like DLC (downloadable content) thats on a game disc already but you're being made to pay extra for it again!

A very simple product, but does exactly the job it's meant to do. Made from a rubbery-plastic feeling material which is firm enough to properly hold the speakers up and keep their shape, but still soft enough to absorb any vibrations. The speakers feel nice and secure sitting on them with no movement or wobbling. They sit just at the perfect angle to point the speakers directly at your ears. Nice plain design with a subtle roundness to blend in better than if they were completely rectangular. Really sleek and inoffensive design that will work perfectly with any setup aesthetic. They go perfectly with my Edifier QR30's.

The supports are OK, but in my opinion they are a little small and would have been better with a footprint the same size as the speakers to give safer and steadier holding. Also for a couple of rubber mouldings they are very expensive and do not greatly enhance the audio capacity of the speakers.

Perfect for small monitor speakers, in my case Donner Dyna 3. They look quite small but the speakers seem very stable and obviously are angled well for sitting on a desk. I wondered if they were expensive when choosing the purchase, but nothing else seemed to fit so I took the plunge. Very glad that I did. These are not just sponge bases, they are some kind of heavy plastic. They seem stable and seem to isolate the sound, although I don't really play them loud.

Defiantly a lot of money for what they are, but they do make a difference to the sound and look better than other stands I've tried so its a must buy for me if you have the speakers. Just would have been nicer if they weren't overpriced.

Funnily enough I'm on Amazon looking for something more robust to replace these with. The part at the back of the stand that holds the speaker in place just came off on both of them after a few years. Great while they last, but very poor lifespan for the money.

Calidad superior en material. SU COMETIDO , los graves son más redondos y claros lo que hace que mejore la espacialidad musical y con el subwofer añadido escuho mejor éste....de tal modo que distingo con más claridad los medios del altavoz un Bang Olufsen CX50 Restaurados y posados en soportes de suelo...TODO BIEN.

Très bon support pour de petites enceintes. Je m'en suis servi pour l'inclinaison d'enceintes servant en atmos sur des enceintes principales en attendant mieux celà fonctionne parfaitement. Je recommande

They position the speakers at a perfect angle to protect the sound at your face/head. Kinda pricey for what it is though... I like how they have a smaller footprint than the speakers, the aesthetic and function made the purchase worth it.

Rubber just degrades and rips off. That’s just ridiculous for something that sells for 6,000 Rs! I’m sure the cost of production is Rs. 6! Isolation is pretty bad too. Desk still vibrates and booms with the speakers mounted on top. ISO Acoustics are way better.

Heel handig product, zeker voor de speaker die ik gekocht had. Vind het alleen voor wat je krijgt best stevig aan prijs.
