Silent disco
Silent disco headphones have become popular at conferences, not only in the form of a disco, but also as a way of offering conference participants the opportunity to listen to what they are interested in, in the same room as others who are listening to something completely different. In other words, a large conference hall can have several stages with different speakers in the same room without them interfering with each other. Participants wear headphones and choose which speaker they want to listen to, while their colleagues next door listen to someone completely different.

The headphones used for silent disco block out all surrounding noise, the sound in the headphones is clear and crisp, and each person has an equally good sound experience, no matter where they stand.

The possibilities of headphones
The possibilities are almost endless for how you can design an event with the technology used for silent disco. The most obvious one, and the one that has so far been the most talked about benefit, is that you can have a party going late into the night without disturbing anyone, as the music is only heard in the headphones. But the benefits are many more!
- Different languages
At international conferences, you can have different channels for different languages. All participants are included, hear and understand what is said on stage regardless of whether they speak the original language or not. - The same sound quality for everyone
Large venues with many people often have the challenge of getting the sound to reach all participants. With headphones, you don’t have to worry about that at all. No matter where the audience is in the room, the sound will be crystal clear. - Sensitive environments
Sometimes conferences or events are held in venues that are, for various reasons, more sensitive places, such as a church, a museum or outdoors in the middle of town. The headphones ensure that no outsiders are disturbed or even reached by the sound and you avoid installation, planning and placement of speakers.
Benefits of headphones
In addition to the possibility of holding events and conferences in different types of venues and with new conditions, there are also many benefits for each individual participant and audience.
- Better focus
Headphones help people focus better. They block out all the noise from the outside world, allowing listeners to concentrate more on the content and the atmosphere. - Higher engagement
A participant who can choose what they want to listen to engages at a higher level than if they are forced into something that tries to engage everyone. - Silence outside the headphones
Sometimes parallel content can require different things. In one room you want high energy and high volume, while in another you want an atmospheric silence and calm. With silent disco headphones, neither content will disturb the other. Wall to wall, completely different audio experiences can take place without anyone noticing.
