# High-End Headphone Charging Stands Twelve South's 'Fermata' Both Charges and Displays Headphones By Joey Haar | Published 2016-11-03 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fermata References: [theverge](http://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/11/2/13500478/fermata-wireless-headphone-charging-stand-twelve-south) & [twelvesouth](https://www.twelvesouth.com/product/fermata) As [wireless headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artronic-designs) become more common, the Fermata is a convenient way for style-conscious consumers to both charge and display their aural paraphernalia. Design company Twelve South's attractive [headphone stand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lisen-magsafe-charger-stand) hides the clumsy wires that come with most charging devices, turning headphone charging from a discreet act into one worth displaying. Today, headphones have become as much a statement about one's style as they are a conduit for listening to one's music. As such, manufacturers put effort into creating [aesthetically attractive products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-beoplay-h100), whether for wearing or for displaying in general. The Fermata stand takes advantage of these designs, putting them on display rather than squirreling them away. In terms of specs, the Fermata comes with a cleverly incorporated reversible Micro USB charger built in. It also has a second USB port, just in case consumers' headphones don't accept Micro USB. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wireless Headphone Stand Displays:** Opportunity to create sleek headphone charging stands that display wireless headphones in a stylish way. - **Aesthetic Charging Solutions for Devices:** Opportunity to develop charging solutions that are both functional and visually attractive. - **Integrated Reversible Charging:** Opportunity to incorporate reversible charging into more products, making charging more convenient. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for consumer electronics companies to create charging stands that cater to the stylish demands of the modern consumer. - **Furniture:** Opportunity for furniture manufacturers to create charging stands that double as stylish design pieces for the modern home. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to integrate stylish charging solutions into their design plans, matching the increasing importance of technology in the modern home. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Industrial Headphone Charger Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/master-dynamic-mc300-headset-stand.md) - [Minimalist Magnetic Headphone Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/max-headphones-charging-stand.md) - [Precision Metallic Headphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bionic-magnetic-charging-stand.md) - [Stealthy Headphone Charging Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-charging-stand.md) - [Digital Display Headphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/led-headphone-stand.md) - [Magnetic Headphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-max-stand.md) - [Sculptural Headphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arco.md) - [Timber Desktop Technology Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-headphone-stands.md) - [Haute Technology Charger Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravgoods-wave-charge.md)
