So this morning I woke up to find an email concerning the Axent Wear headphones.
Apparently there's been an issue with production of them in China - the factory producing them didn't live up to environmental or human rights laws, and will be pushed back to an undetermined time of delivery.

Hi everyone!
This is Axent Wear co-founder and the headphones designer, Wenqing (aka Yuumei). I am currently in China right now to oversee headphones production.
We here at Axent Wear believe in complete honesty to our backers and complete moral responsibility to the environment and human rights. Thus I believe it is very important to let everyone who put their trust in us to know each and every step of the headphones production, good news or bad news.
Right now I have some bad news. The manufacturer that my co-founder have been in contact with for the past year is not up to the environmental or human rights standards that we thought they had. This is an unfortunate discovery that I only found out upon personal visit of the factory during the past two weeks.
I have been touring countless manufacturers and I will keep doing so until I’ve found the right factory. I will make sure the new manufacturer will respect the environment and human rights because that is the only way to respect our backers as well.
Without doubt we will bring you the high quality headphones you deserve, but due to the unforeseen need to change manufacturers, the delivery date for the headphones will be pushed back. We do not know how long the delay will be at this point but we will keep everyone updated at every step of the way.
Thank you so much for your support and understanding.
In other news, we've decided to try out Indiegogo's Forever Funding Pilot program. The limited time only discount price of $115 (plus $35 for shipping and taxes) for early backers is already over, but you can still pre-order for $135 (plus $35 for shipping and taxes). We plan on opening our own store when all the headphones have been produced, but in the mean time Indiegogo will be the go to place if you missed the chance to pre-order earlier.
