Operating the equipment is simple:

For Apple or iOS devices without a headphone out socket, we provide free lightning and USB-C adapter cables for seamless connectivity.
Organise your music on each audio device using platforms like iTunes, YouTube, or streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music or Amazon Music. Enjoy our extensive library of dance floor-ready Spotify playlists at no extra cost.
Switching between the three channels on the headphones is effortless – simply press a button to instantly skip to the next live channel. Our headphones and transmitters connect wirelessly over their own radio frequencies, eliminating the need for Wi-Fi.

Silent Disco Tips
To ensure your silent disco event is a huge success, here are some helpful tips:
Access Our Spotify Playlists: Take advantage of our extensive collection of Spotify silent disco playlists, which are available for FREE. This saves you time and effort in curating your own music selection.
Practice Setup: Before the event, practice setting up the equipment, turning on the headphones, changing between the three channels, and adjusting the volume. This ensures a smooth experience during the actual event.
Download Music: If you’re using streaming services like Apple Music, Spotify, or Amazon Music, download all playlists in advance to avoid issues with live streaming, Wi-Fi connectivity, and potential loss of audio during the event. Consider using airplane mode to prevent Spotify from blocking live streaming on multiple devices simultaneously.
Diversify Music Genres: With three channels available, offer a variety of music styles to cater to different preferences. Create different playlists for each channel, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Automatic Power Off: The headphones automatically power off after 10 minutes of no audio signal. You don’t need to manually turn them off at the end of the event, saving you time and hassle.
