Astro Gaming's Headset Hanger needs little explanation

Astro Gaming may not produce the most invigorating products out there, but you'd never know it by its marketing approach. In fact, we dare any HP Blackbird owner to give the read link a look and not have even the slightest desire to pick this here gizmo up. The Headset Hanger, contrary to popular belief, actually isn't a makeshift racing wheel; rather, it's designed to be the first (and only, probably) accessory to bolt directly onto the Blackbird's built-in VESA-compliant hardpoint. The purpose? To hold your gaming headphones, which would obviously be the A40s if Astro had any say in the matter. You could spend $19.95 on this just to satisfy your curiosity, but we'd recommend just glancing through the gallery a time or two until you're over it.

Excessively overdesigned. I want it.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 26th 2009 8:56PM]

well...this would make sense because well...you know they kinda designed the case

[theghost Posted Jan 26th 2009 8:59PM]

only 20 bucks not bad but not really necessary lol

Nothing says class like bolting a Garden Hose Holder to a 5k gaming machine

[npChaos Posted Jan 27th 2009 6:56AM]

What can I say, the holes were already there.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 26th 2009 9:04PM]

Excessively overpriced. "i" do not want it.

[reddyroc Posted Jan 26th 2009 9:06PM]

they'd sell loads of them if they called it the "ihanger"

why? dont ask.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 27th 2009 11:46AM]

What do you care? Not like you can play games on ur trend machine.

[Hoot Posted Jan 27th 2009 11:10AM]

@ chris

I'd be more interested in the ibanger

:\

[telepheedian Posted Jan 26th 2009 9:05PM]

You could use that VESA mount point to mount a windbox or an eee box to it, just because you can.

blackbird is kinda ugly

And with all that power, one little virus can bring it down...

OSX is virus proof.

[newreformation Posted Jan 26th 2009 9:41PM]

[ralpheazy Posted Jan 26th 2009 10:50PM]

Wow,

[shogunmaster Posted Jan 26th 2009 9:56PM]

Eye Eye,

You fail on the daily, so I wouldn't point fingers. BTW, you must hate getting laid...

You know, this whole commenting business is really going downhill lately. 4chan kinda seems classy compared to whatever is happening here.

[JDska55 Posted Jan 26th 2009 9:22PM]

Who doesn't love horribly overpriced sound?

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 26th 2009 9:54PM]

is this actually needed?

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 26th 2009 9:57PM]

What I use is a banana hook for my Beyerdynamic Dt8800s. Ghetto fabulous.

[Hoot Posted Jan 27th 2009 11:17AM]

Sweet, a fellow DT880 owner. Rock on

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 26th 2009 10:01PM]

can't ... hold ... on ... much ... longer

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 26th 2009 10:21PM]

20 bucks isn't something to be whining so much about I say...

[thousand Posted Jan 26th 2009 10:41PM]

i'd use it, and i'm not even a gamer. I don't have speakers at my computer so having a proper place to keep my headphones safe would be awesome.

This seems pretty cool and functional. To Darren Murph, maybe you could recommend people buy a product instead of putting it down because you don't like it. Just a thought.

[bobbob Posted Jan 27th 2009 3:51AM]

i just use a nail in the wall behind my desk.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 27th 2009 12:53PM]

[sarcasm] what a great product concept.. they'll clearly sell thousands of those because, well.. everybody has a blackbird/case with perfectly positioned holes! [/sarcasm]

i dont get it.. i mean, i was at a gaming festival last year which had a 2000 man lan party. You know how many pre-built machines i saw?.. alienware, dell xps, hp blackbirds etc.. none!.. it may have been dark and nerd ridden but still, no fker buys these things.. so why would you invent something to attach to one?!

next...motorola aura headphone holders

[James2432 Posted Jan 27th 2009 12:17PM]

Personally I think it's a good idea it just that if I know me(which I do) I'd probably end up putting them on my desk/chair arm rest anyways

[ch3burashka Posted Jan 27th 2009 6:00PM]

How is this justified?

Are HP and Astro in a deal or something?

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 29th 2009 1:03AM]

Its a VESA mount, which most LCD monitors already have -- so you don't need a subpar HP gaming machine to use it.

Its a neat idea, but I think the same concept could be accomplished with a wire hanger and burning a twenty dollar bill.
