We’re proud to present our first photoshoot picture! Our model is sporting the very first prototype of Axent headphones.
We received a lot of great feedback and constructive suggestions in our last post. We will take them all into consideration and make some changes in the next prototype. Over-the-ear instead of on-the-ear will be implemented in the next version, as well as new materials.
We’re very grateful for all the support and we hope everyone will continue to help us improve our headphones step by step.

Thank you all for the amazing support!
We’ve been over whelmed with comments and questions for the past week, so we would like to answer some frequently asked questions here!
Q: When and where can I order a pair?
A: We are currently working making a Kickstarter crowd funding campaign. Once the Kickstarter is up, hopefully in a month or two, you can pre-order through the Kickstarter. We will e-mail everyone and post the link to the Kickstarter when that happens. If you haven’t signed up for e-mail updates yet, you can do so at http://www.axentwear.com/
Q: How much will the headphones cost?
A: We’re aiming to keep the price as low as possible without compromising quality. The price we’ve decided on is $115.
Q: Will you ship internationally?
A: Yep! Though shipping prices will be different than domestic orders. We are not in control of how much shipping companies charge.
Q: Do the cat ear speakers actually work?
A: Yes, the speakers are fully functional so you can switch between listening to your music silently or sharing your music with your friends!
Q: Will they come in multiple colors?
A: Yes! And when you pre-order through our Kickstarter, you can vote on which top colors will be produced.
Q: Will they be wireless? Will they come with a mic? LED lights? And if so, will the LED lights change colors?
A: That will depend on how much money we can raise through Kickstarter. The more pre-orders we get, the more funds we have to add even more cool features to the headphones without increasing the cost to you! So when the Kickstarter goes live, please support us by pre-ordering a pair! The more fund we raise, the more features your headphones will have :)
Q: My question wasn’t answered here?
A: Please be patient. We’re still working out the final details of certain features. We want to be absolutely certain before we answer a question. If your question hasn’t been answered yet, it will be in the near future so stay tuned! :D
Thank you all again for the amazing level of support! We look forward to bringing you a new music experience!
Pieces o’ Heart! Well, one piece of heart, and one full one, if you want to get picky. Hailing from Twilight Princess, both iterations came out wonderfully.
The piece of heart was a unique challenge, as in the game you could see the red heart encapsulated in a rough hewn crystal, and as I try to make sure that all the pieces that I produce would be possible to acquire in the real world, I was faced with the task of attempting to mimic the look and feel of the irregular edges, while keeping it realistic. I achieved that by just dumping a ton of different cuts and sizes into the empty space between gold border and ruby center. I also tried a version where I used micro pavé stones for a more regular covering, but it came out looking so bad I didn’t even bother rendering it out.
Sadly, the full heart container is impossible to create as seen here, as I don’t think anyone would ever cut a ruby to that custom shape. Sorry jewelry fans!
