FAQ
Everything you need to know about silent party headphone rental: how it works, equipment, delivery, price and booking.
The concept
What is a silent party?
A silent party (or silent disco) is a party where every guest wears wireless headphones that play the music. There are no speakers: for people without headphones the room is silent (apart from those singing along…), while those wearing them enjoy the music to the full.
How do the three channels work?
Three transmitters broadcast three different music streams to the headphones at the same time. A button on each headset switches between channels (red, blue, green), and the LED shows which channel you are listening to.
Can I switch channels whenever I like?
Absolutely, that is the whole point of the concept! You can switch channels as often as you like during the night.
Can guests choose their music?
Yes. Thanks to the different channels, everyone picks the music vibe they like directly on their headset.
What is the range of the headphones?
Our professional headphones have a range of 300 to 500 metres depending on the model and the venue: more than enough for a room, a garden, a terrace or a festival site.
Can you really talk with headphones on?
Yes: just take the headset off or turn the volume down. It is one of the big advantages of a silent party: you alternate music and conversation without having to shout.
What are the benefits of a silent party?
No noise nuisance, several music vibes at once, individually adjustable volume and an original experience that always surprises guests.
Rental and logistics
How many people can take part?
From 2 to over 1,000 people: we have solutions for small private parties as well as large gatherings. Get in touch to check availability for your project.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 2 weeks ahead. For weddings and large events, allow 1 to 2 months, especially in high season (May to September). But we are always happy to help with last-minute requests!
Do you deliver everywhere in Belgium?
Yes, we deliver throughout Belgium (Brussels, Flanders, Wallonia) and even abroad. Delivery costs depend on distance (from €50 in Brussels).
Is delivery compulsory?
No: you can also pick up and return the equipment free of charge at one of our pick-up points, in Brussels (Schaerbeek or Ixelles) or in Wavre.
Do you deliver to France and Luxembourg?
Yes. We deliver our equipment quickly in Belgium, France and Luxembourg. The delivery cost is calculated according to distance.
Who sets up the equipment?
You can set it up yourself with our simple guide, or leave the set-up to our team. The system is intuitive and we explain everything when we hand over the equipment.
How long does the headset battery last?
Up to 8 hours of continuous use. The headphones are delivered fully charged.
What happens if there is a technical problem?
Our team stays reachable during your event, 7 days a week, and guides you step by step to a solution.
Is a security deposit required?
Depending on the chosen package, a security deposit may be requested. You receive all the details when the quote is prepared.
Do I need to clean the headphones?
No, nothing to do: the headphones are disinfected by us before and after every rental.
How long can I keep the equipment?
A standard rental covers 3 days: delivery the day before, the event, then collection the day after. We also rent by the day, for the weekend or for several days as needed.
Can I test the equipment beforehand?
Yes! We give a demonstration when we hand over the equipment, and we organise demonstrations by appointment in Brussels.
Music and entertainment
Do I have to book a DJ?
No, DJs are optional. You can plug your own playlists from a smartphone, tablet or laptop straight into the transmitters.
How do I connect my own music?
The transmitters have 3.5 mm jack, RCA and Bluetooth inputs: you can plug in any audio source (smartphone, laptop, DJ mixer…). Connection cables are provided.
Can I use Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube?
Yes, all streaming platforms work, via Bluetooth or cable.
How many DJs do you need for three channels?
Ideally 2 or 3 DJs (one per channel) for the best atmosphere, but an experienced DJ can also run all three channels in turn. You can also work with playlists only: anything is possible!
Do you offer DJs who specialise in silent parties?
Yes, we work with a network of professional DJs who fully master the concept and multi-channel mixing.
Can you use a microphone?
Yes. You can connect a microphone for speeches, entertainment, conferences, guided tours or sports sessions.

Types of events
Is a silent party right for a wedding?
Absolutely, it is actually one of our most requested services! Your guests dance all night long, with no curfew and no neighbour complaints.
Can you hold a silent party in a flat?
Yes, that is one of the big advantages: no noise for the neighbours. Perfect for flats, urban gardens and rooftop terraces.
Does a silent party work for children?
Yes! The headphones are adjustable and children from age 7 love the concept. Ideal for birthdays, school fairs and school events.
Can you hold a silent party outdoors?
Yes, it is even ideal for limiting noise nuisance. In dry weather, no problem at all. If it rains, however, the equipment must stay sheltered: plan a fallback option (a hall, a closed tent or marquee, a covered area). We will advise you on the right set-up when preparing your quote.
Do you use the concept for conferences?
Yes: we offer simultaneous interpreting solutions in several languages (up to three) for your conferences, seminars and business events.
What types of events are the headphones suited to?
Weddings, birthdays, festivals, corporate parties, team buildings, student events, conferences, guided tours and sports activities.
Environment and regulations
Is a silent party eco-friendly?
More so than a traditional party: no big power-hungry sound system, rechargeable headphones and no noise pollution. Our equipment is durable and regularly maintained.
Do I need a permit to hold a silent party?
For a private event, usually not. For a public outdoor event, check with your local municipality.
Are there noise rules to follow?
That is exactly the advantage: no noise outside. The only voices you hear are guests chatting… and singing!
