SILENT DISCO FAQs

GENERAL FAQs

To have fun of course! A Silent Disco can have many different applications, ranging from a high-tech party, to an alternative listening experience for people who are hard of hearing. We think any reason is a good reason for a silent disco, and if we can help make your idea come true, we'd love to help.

Silent Disco rentals vary in cost depending on who or where you rent them from. In general, you can expect to pay around $6-$10 per headphone. Shipping is either included, or extra between $50-$100 roundtrip. Our party-ready silent disco rentals start at just over $7 per headphone, and include everything for an effortless silent disco rental.

One of the best parts of a silent disco is everyone can listen to their music channel of choice. If you have multiple DJs, or even just multiple MP3 players, you can stream up to 3 stations, letting your guests pick their favorite to dance to.

To host a successful silent disco, you'll need a few things:

  1. Silent Disco Headphones - Get enough silent disco headphones for each of your guests.
  2. Silent Disco Transmitter - You'll need at least one of these. We include three with our rentals for up to three different music channels.
  3. Music - A simple laptop or tablet will work! If you want to up your party game, you can have up to three DJ's battle live.
  4. Partygoers! - Obviously you'll need some partygoers. Don't worry if they have never experienced a silent disco before. Once your first guest puts on a pair of headphones, everyone will soon follow to find out what the hype is all about.

Silent disco is the most fun you can have without going deaf. Seriously! You can party all night long to the music of your choice, at your preferred volume level. No speakers mean no noise disturbance for your neighbors, or feeling like you need to "step out" for a break from all the music. Simply pop the headphones off, and hangout until you are ready to jump back on the dance floor.

Throwing a silent disco at home is easy. You'll need to rent or purchase a silent disco system that includes headphones & transmitter(s), and you'll need to provide your own music. Simply plug in the transmitter to your tablet, laptop, or another music source, turn on your pre-charged headphones, and party on!

DJing a silent disco is just like DJing any other event, with a few considerations:

  1. Share the stage - One of the unique aspects of a silent disco is the ability to stream up to 3 music channels at once. If there are other DJ's playing, then guests can tune in to the DJ of their choice.
  2. Keep an eye on the colors - Silent disco headphones like ours include a lighting system to show which channel guests are on. This helps you see if people are tuning into your mix, or another DJ's so you can try to 'win' them back.
  3. Engage with your crowd - Just like any other setup, you'll need to engage with your crowd to ensure everyone is having a good time. Remember though, if people don't have their headphones on, they may not hear an important announcement or you hyping the crowd up.

Rent-to-purchase authorizations cannot be granted after rental orders are placed. 

RENTALS

A silent disco or silent party, is an event where people dance to music broadcasted through wireless headphones, as opposed to a speaker system.

 

Only the people wearing headphones hear the music being played, making it an awesome choice for venues with noise constraints, or just to create a club-like atmosphere where you can still hold a conversation at a normal volume.

 

A silent disco can be as simple as setting up different playlists on different devices (up to three), so everyone can jam out to one of three choices of music. Or if you want to take things to the next level, you can have live DJs competing and let your audience tune into their favorite one.

We specialize in providing you with everything you need to host a successful silent disco, quiet rave, or other silent party experience. As one of the longest-running Silent Disco Rental Companies in the business, we know our stuff. We ensure always on-time shipping, an unforgettable party experience, exceptional customer service, cutting edge silent disco products, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee!

If you are renting, your equipment arrives 1-2 days before your event. This gives you plenty of time to get familiar with the equipment and setup instructions. Of course, if you have anything you are unsure about, you can always reach out to Party Headphones. We're always here for you and happy to help!

After the event, simply repack the equipment, place the included return-shipping label on the case, and call the courier we used to schedule a pick-up the day before the pick-up is needed (1st business day after your event). You can also drop the gear off to the designated shipper you received this from if that is easier. Then, please email your assigned customer excitement specialist letting us know the package is being returned!

We always recommend having good security measures in place to deter theft, and damage. We have a $30 to $120 replacement fee for headphones that go missing or are damaged at the event. Replacement of our wireless music transmitters can vary between $140 to $275.

If you prefer to cover yourself in the case of damage, loss, or theft, consider adding an event rental insurance plan onto your order!

Our standard quote covers usage for a single day event, with the headphones being returned the following business day. For longer events, we have multi-day and multi-week rates available with pricing dependent on the length of rental. The headphones arrive fully charged, with approximately 8-10 hours of battery life. So if you are having a multiple-day event, you may need to re-charge the headphones in-between, using the charging stations include with every multi-day order. We also offer long-term leases when you simply want a hands-off party experience throughout the year

We accept various payment methods including all major credit cards, ACH payments, partial reservation deposits, purchase orders, and other flexible payment plans to suit your needs. You can choose to pay a 50% deposit to secure a reservation if you are unable to pay the total amount up front. The remaining 50% is due before the listed ship date and is required before the equipment can be shipped. We typically need 10-14 days of lead time before your event to have the order arrive before your event. 

No, our silent disco orders do not include a DJ or event staff. We aim to keep orders affordable, so we provide all the essential equipment and you can bring your own DJ or plug in your tablet, laptop, or any other device that supports a headphone jack. Setup only takes a few minutes and no tech skills are needed!

We also provide on-call customer support the day of your event. Should there be any questions or problems that arise, we'll be happy to resolve them.

EQUIPMENT

The Party Headphones Silent Disco RF Headphone is a premium wireless headphone with superior sound quality, features, and a lightweight design. Synced LEDs show the channel you're tuned into, and offer an exciting light-experience in the dark. The rechargeable batteries offer 8-10 hours of non-stop fun, so you can have a silent party anywhere you can imagine. Except underwater. Unfortunately, the headphones aren't waterproof yet.

Our plug-and-play silent disco system allows you to connect any electronic device with a headphone jack (AUX) or audio input to the Soundsource Wireless Transmitter. While having multiple DJs can be a ton of fun, with our system it's not necessary!

Connect DJ mixers, laptops, iPhones, mp3 players, a TV, or practically any other music device to the transmitter to instantly start your party.

The Party Headphones system offers access to 3 different audio channels. This means that your guests can choose from up to three different music options during your event, allowing for a personalized and dynamic listening experience.

Our high-quality transmitters and headphones ensure that each channel is clear and free from interference, so you can enjoy your music to the fullest.

Your playlist can be broadcast at a radius of up to 500 meters from the Soundsource wireless transmitter.

The Soundsource¹ system gives you up to 500 meters of range, and the latest Soundsource² system lets you choose between a 500-meter range, and a low 200-meter range, making it better fit for every venue and party.

Party Headphones batteries last from 10-12 hours on a single charge. They also arrive to you fully charged so you can open the box and immediately start enjoying the party.
