Silent Safaris Head Phones for Silent Discos and Night Clubs

0:00 Fill me with your love!

Alright guys, first of all the track you're listening to is by Mass Digital, a track entitled Fill Me With Your Love. Fill me with your love! It's from the Karmic Power Records stable. There'll be a link in the description. Now this video is all about these headphones here. They're from a company called Silence Safaris. Now first of all they're not your normal average headphones that you'd probably take to a gig with you and use as a DJ even though you probably could but these headphones are For Silent Discos. Right, so what are they? They're headphones, they're wireless, they come from a company called Silent Safaris. Now then, let's go back about 10 years or so, maybe even slightly longer, when the Silent Disco era started to appear. There were loads of places where you weren't allowed to play loud music. Some places you weren't even allowed to play music. So of course how could you get the party rocking? You could...

By having everyone wear headphones. So of course, what they did, they decided to put receivers in the headphones, a transmitter taking the signal from the mixer, the transmitter would then transmit to the headphones, the headphones being the receiver and then of course not just one but many people could listen to the music. Now the second part of this video I'll show you exactly what's in the pack. So, what you have here is a set of headphones with two channels. So, here's the eureka moment. You can actually listen to two separate audios which means that if you're a DJ and you're playing a certain genre, you can have a DJ next to you playing a completely different genre. The crowd can have the choice of listening to you or them.

2:20 Now exactly what's in the pack

Go and check out the link in the description. And to prove a point, right there's the volume up and down. Now what I've done, I've set these, they should still be on, I've set these on the booth. So these are actually on the booth back but now I'm not going to turn that down. I'm going to put these over the microphone and there you go, you can hear them. So we have headphones now. That are picking up the booth output. I'm going to show you now exactly what's in the pack. This is a set of four. I believe they do four, two, four and ten. But best check the website. Okay, so I'm going to turn that back up again. If you're into your soulful bassy tunes then go and check out Karmic Power Records. This track kicks bomb. I nearly said the F word then. I really want to say fuck on.

Right okay i'm gonna pause the camera now let's have a look and see what's inside the pack but before we do that let's have a look and see how i've set this up i've set this up very simply okay so what i've done i've gone from the booth output of the mixer the player controller whatever you've got you can go from your booth output because the best way of coming out is of course you boot because what you can do is you can utilize the booth dial To not only, well you're not monitoring the sound but what you're doing is you're moving the volume up and down. If you feel as though well you know if I use the booth then how am I going to use the booth for my monitor? Well then just have a double socket from the back. Alternatively what you could do, you could go from the record out of your controller or your mixer. So I've gone from that into the input of the transmitter.

4:17 I've got a pack of four

Now this is the transmitter. The packs come with two transmitters for of course two different frequencies. That is supplied by a 5 volt power supply there and that's by USB, so you've got a little USB plug into there. Of course you've got on and off. When it's green, it's good to go. When it's red, it's off. Alright, so that's about as simple as it gets. I'll show you a little bit more inside the pack right now. Hold tight. Alright, so I've got a pack of four. There you go. Right, now this is really important. This is a bit of a disclaimer here. These are not to be put next to or alongside pro audio headphones. Alright, so if you're a DJ and you demand pro quality high output sound while you're mixing in a nightclub then I highly recommend you don't get these. They're not

For you as a DJ to use while you're DJing. But if you do want to maybe step into the realms of doing silent discos, then check out SilentSafaris. Okay, so what do we get in this pack? Of course you get your headphones. Now these have internal batteries and they are rechargeable. Okay, now also you will have two of these. These are your transmitters. These are not the receivers. The headphones are the receivers, okay? So transmit, the transmitter, the term transmit is to move away, it's to transmit something towards something else and of course if you transmit something from this there has to be something to receive the signal. The headphones will receive the signal so let's open one of these up and have a look.

Firstly, alright they are plastic but thumbs up to SilentSafaris because there's a metal strap at the top. Now that is a must. Any headphone company, they do not put some form of metal strap on the top, need to have their head checked because the amount of old school headphones I've gone through from just snapping is ridiculous. So as soon as I saw that I thought yeah We've got a bit of quality here. OK, now they fold up quite nicely as well, as you can see, like that. And the pack, alright yeah, the pack, it's a box, well it's not a box actually, but it's nicely packaged. All of the bits are nicely packaged, zip away and to be quite honest, someone would think you just had sort of a tiny little notebook there.

7:06 You also have two mini jacks

Your headphones. There's four in this pack. There are two transmitters on different frequencies, of course, for A and B. So you can, like I said earlier in this video, have two DJs in the mix. You also get two of these. Now, these are mini jack, you'll notice, to RCA. Now, to be quite honest, if you've just got the pack, then you will need these because... You also have two mini jacks. Now my thoughts on this was it's probably better, and if Silent Safari see this video, it's probably better just to have a mini jack to RCA. In my mind there's no need to have this of course unless they were thinking that there's two ways of using it but to me having that and then putting that in there is a bit sort of...

Thanks for watching, and I'll see you next time. I've moved a few of these around, but you definitely have at least four, and the four will charge all headphones. I think you're looking about, let's have a look, I think it's about, alright there you go, up to 10 hours of playtime, so that's not too bad. Alright, maybe some people do over-exaggerate, so maybe it is 10, I don't know, I haven't tried them for 10 hours yet. Now, sound-wise, what are they like? A small headphone, the diaphragm's quite small so you're not going to have huge punchy bass but what you do have is quite good fidelity so I'm quite pleased there. So right, you've considered doing headphone discos, you've thought about it but you've gone oh my god at the cost. Well go and check out Silent Safari alright? I'll be doing a little bit more on these in the future.

And if you want any information, check out the link in the description. It will take you to Silent Safari's website where you can get a whole bunch more, excluding someone like me waffling on. Alright, so thank you very much. Practice and enjoy, and I'll leave you with a look at the box. Thank you.
