I'd like to hang a hook-arm off my desk's chrome wire rail to hold my headphones. I do not want rounded S-hooks or J-hooks. I need a hook with a level surface to hang stuff. Is there a hook less than $10 that's already made to fit such a rail? Is there hardware that would allow me to rig an attachment to the rail myself? Thanks.

Check here for 2 or 3 possibilities, $8-$12, (skip past the J hooks)
Thanks for your reply. That looked like a good solution until I saw that it's intended to be hung off a much thicker bar than one found in chrome wire shelving. My chrome wire desk doesn't have the clearance needed to hang that hook mount.
Thanks for your reply. The $9.99 Accessory Hook (SI-ASMKH6C) is just what I'm looking for and it's the same one going for $15.04+shipping on Amazon. Unfortunately the website won't divulge the shipping cost without filling out their purchase form first. For now, I'm more inclined to buy the $11.46 Amazon J-hooks
Do you have any tools? I vice would make it trivial to bend up a hook from aluminum strapping (at Home Depot, Lowes or Ace). A sturdy couple pairs of pliers would work too. You don't need anything too heavy if all you are hanging is headphones.
