If you haven’t been to a silent headphone disco yet then you’re really missing out… you might have seen them at club nights, at music festivals, or even at a wedding. Whatever the venue, silent raves are an awesome way to dance the night away with your best pals without having to listen to a song you don’t like, and without having to shout to chat with your mates on the dance floor. Sounds great, right?
This article will outline everything you need to know about silent headphone parties and where you can find the best headphone rental equipment in the UK.
What is a Silent Headphone Party?
Commonly referred to as a silent disco, silent parties are events where music is broadcast through noise-cancelling wireless headphones rather than speaker sound systems. Without the headphones you can’t hear the music, so to an outsider looking and listening in, it seems like a room full of people dancing to no music… albeit with some colourful wireless headphones on their head.
Headphone discos have a number of benefits such as the ability to host events in areas with strict noise restrictions or early noise curfews. Also, guests can listen to multiple songs at the same time and they can easily talk to their friends on the dance floor without having to raise their voice.
How Does a Silent Rave Work?
Everyone arriving at the rave will be given a pair of LED party headphones for the night. With three channels of music its up to the individual on which channel of music they listen to. At the flick of a switch you can change to the next channel and the quiet headphones will glow in red, green or blue to indicate the selected channel. When silent disco first started out, party goers only had one channel to listen to, but as technology has evolved guests can now tune in to three different channels of music.
What Type of Event is an Earphone Party Good For?
The real question is what type of event isn’t a silent disco good for? Basically, any event you can think of where you normally would have a sound system can also be a silent party. Just replace the sound system with the hire equipment and just like that you’ve made your event 10x more sociable, hilarious and enjoyable.
