Cat Ear Headphones Look Purrfect

Posted on by

At last Catwoman has the perfect pair of headphones that match her outfit. UC Berkeley alumni Wenqing Yan and Victoria Hu developed these Axent Wear cat ear headphones to give cat lovers a new way to listen to music and be stylish at the same time.

These headphones have LED lights as well as fully functional external cat ear speakers, for those times when you want to share your music with those around you. They also include a detachable cord, ear cushioning, and rechargeable batteries. As you can imagine, they have exceeded their Indiegogo funding goal. After all, who doesn’t love cat ears that play music?

Backers of the project can get them with blue, red, green, or purple lighting. Axent Wear was looking for $250,000(USD) to fund the project, and at this time they have received nearly $1 million in pledges, with more than three weeks to go. People really really want some light-up cat ears.

Cat Ear Headphones Are A Thing Now

We have a sneaking suspicion that Axent Wear’s new Cat Ear Heaphones will find a strong market mostly in Japan. But they’re sure as heck intriguing enough to get us talking about them on this side of the pond. Although really, there’s not much to say about them. The cat ears are actually speakers that can blast your music outwards. There are LEDs throughout to accent the design, and thankfully both the cat ears and LEDs can be turned off if you don’t feel like being obnoxious at any given time. And that’s it. It’s a $150 pledge on Indiegogo, which includes shipping, taxes and import duties worldwide.

Necomimi Launches the Product We’ve All Been Waiting for: Brainwave Cat Ears

Posted on by

I was sitting around the house the other day thinking what I really needed to make my life complete was a pair of articulated cat ears that I could wear on my head. I mean, I have a cool car, a gigantic television, and a sweet job (not this one mind you). The only thing lacking in my life is a nice set of giant plush cat ears. You can imagine how happy I was to notice that Necomimi has now officially launched its Brainwave Cat Ears in the United States.

We talked about these things last year and apparently you could previously find them at certain geek conventions. Apparently, they will now come to other retail locations for you to purchase for $99.95(USD). The idea is that the cat ears are on a headband that has a sensor that rests on your four head to read your brainwaves. The ears will tell other people what you’re feeling so you don’t have to bother with stupid stuff like talking to people.

The cat ears are able to show three emotional states. When something catches the wearer’s attention, the ears stand straight up. When the wearer is relaxed, the ears will droop down. When the user is both highly focused and highly relaxed the ears wiggle back-and-forth. Sadly it’s missing the indicator for “I’m going to dust you with bath salts and chew your face off.”
