The Princess, very satisfied with her new headphones, began showing them off to her peers at DameAdorabellesAcademy. Several of the Princess's schoolmates, after listening to the Princess's special headphones, expressed interest in purchasing their own. In response to this newfound demand, Treblebass and Blaze !HiFi moved to put the Princess's special headphones into mass production, releasing the '''Royale''' headphones in January 2022. The Royale was a breakout hit, quickly becoming Blaze !HiFi's best-selling product of all time. == Partnership with Alicorn Systems == With the introduction of the [[AlicornCrystal|Alicorn 1]] smartphone in 2013, AlicornSystems contracted Blaze !HiFi to produce basic earbuds as a pack-in accessory. The earbuds packaged with the Alicorn 1 smartphone were unbranded, but those included with subsequent phones in the Alicorn Crystal line featured the Alicorn logo. These pack-in earbuds were based on an older Blaze !HiFi design and were manufactured at Blaze !HiFi's factory in October. Following the runaway success of the Royale product line, Blaze !HiFi found their October production facility unable to meet demand. In May 2022, Blaze !HiFi announced a partnership with Alicorn Systems. == Products == === Over-ear headphones === * '''Royale:''' Closed-back headphones modeled on the custom pair made for Princess Alice. The flagship product of the Alicorn Audio line. * '''Royale Sharp:''' Open-back variant of the Royale. * '''Royale Jr:''' Variant of the Royale intended for children, featuring a headband that adjusts down to fit smaller heads.

Famous as Princess Alice's preferred earbuds, which she keeps rolled up in her pocket wherever she goes. * '''Sparkle:''' Alicorn-branded version of the Blaze 210 in-ear monitors, featuring a slightly upgraded cable and a microphone. * '''Blaze 1211:''' Basic stereo earbuds. Variants of the 1211 have been packaged with Alicorn smartphones and tablets since 2013, initially unbranded, but later bearing the Alicorn logo.
