Review: Brainwavz Hooka

I don’t know about you but I am forever finding my headphones on the floor. Whether due to passing traffic or to my three curious black cats, I am always picking them up off the floor and putting them back on the nearest surface. Fortunately I am yet to find them in pieces, but this repetition does have me worried that one day my headphones simply won’t bounce back.

Luckily I was recently offered the chance to try out a new product from Brainwavz, provider of high-end earphones and audio accessories, in return for an honest review which seems to have solved my problem. I was sent the Brainwavz Hooka, a compact multi purpose die-cast aluminium hanger which has been designed to offer headphones a safe place to hang out when not in use.

The Hooka is small but strong and can hold even the heaviest of headphones without bending. It has a handy platform (78mm x 46mm) on top to support the headband and a raised tip to stop the headphones sliding off whilst vertical. The Hooka is attached to your chosen surface via a strong double-sided acrylic form tape, 3M VHB, which is designed to be a permanent adhesive.

When the Brainwavz Hooka arrived I was amazed at how dinky at looks at only 102 mm x 46 mm x 58 mm, and yet it has a really solid weight (125g) and great texture which comes from the die-cast aluminium which also gives the hanger a sleek industrial look which I find attractive. Setting the Hooka up took me mere moments, simply remove the backing from the 3M VHD tape, line it up on the wall (or surface of your choice) and press it down. Done!

I am very happy to say that my lovely blue ECandy headphones have been safe ever since installing the Hooka which is a weight off of my mind! I award the Brainwavz Hooka 5 out of 5 stars.
