Are Cat Ear Headphones Going to Be a New Trend? Crowdfunding for Axent Wear Cat Ear Headphones Begin

The typical headphones design hasn’t changed all that much in the last decade, and while there are plenty of pretty colours on offer, most are simply two speakers connected by a strap that goes over the head (Yes, I know that is not the most detailed way of describing the stereotypical headphones design). Most of the time I have purchased them for enhanced sound quality rather than how they look…. yet I find myself captivated by this new crowdfunding campaign by the team at Axent Wear.

Those who have played Devil Survivor will remember the headphones worn by the protagonist, which involve thin wires that give an impression of cat ears. I always loved this design choice, and have always wanted a pair similar in design. This is a similar approach to headphones that Axent Wear are taking with their campaign, by making a line of cat ear headphones available to the general public.

Not only are the cat ear components of the headphones all lit up nicely but the ears themselves double as speakers which, if you choose, will allow them to blare out music to your friends while still looking (hopefully) awesome.

Axent Wear Cat Ear Headphones are currently holding a $250,000 campaign, of which $216,552 have already been raised by 1,398 backers. With 30 days left in the campaign as well, it is clear that they will succeed in raising this money as well. The first pledge target that will give you the headphones are the $150 goal and come in either Blue, Red, Green or Purple. Unfortunately other designs are currently listed at much higher price points, and it would be good to see the company throw a few more colours into the mix at a lower price.

Personally… I would love a yellow one.Check out the Indiegogo crowdfunding page HERE.
