Hi Axent Wear Backers! I have some great photos to share!
This is Wenqing Yan (a.k.a Yuumei), the co-founder and designer of the cat ear headphones. This week I was able to visit Brookstone in New Hampshire to personally test out the latest headphones prototype and to give feedback on how to improve for the next prototype.
We heard everyone's feedback on the last post and we completely agree with the changes that need to be made, such as color, brighter lights, and a less bulky frame. Please understand that the prototypes are not what the final product will look like, and we will be actively improving each prototype we make. In this second version of the prototype, we've already improved many details, such as the colors and added the detachable gaming boom mic. With each iteration, it will look better and better!
So far, the over-the-ear cushions are very comfortable, and all the joints are adjustable and fold-able. The buttons on the underside of the headphones are easily used to switch between private listening and external sharing, and there is song selection on the detachable cord. The sound quality of the headphones is great, with a clean and crisp sound. The cat ear speakers are loud enough to fill up an entire room, but you can also adjust the speaker volume for sharing with friends sitting right next to you.
There are still lots of improvements to be made, and we look forward to sharing with everyone the even better version within the next week or two. Thank you all again for the constant feedback and support!
