"In remaining true to our design culture at Tivoli Audio, we created Radio Silenz to maximize musical listening experiences by combining the acoustic advantages of natural woods with the technology of active noise cancelation," says Tom DeVesto, Tivoli Audio Founder, CEO and Designer. The unique "Defeat" button temporarily switches off the noise cancelation and fades down the audio, allowing conversation or announcements to be heard without having to remove the headphones or switch the noise cancelation off and on again. Radio Silenz operates up to 50 hours on a single AAA battery included in the packaging and can be used with the noise cancellation on or off, or even without a battery. The closed back, padded on-ear design also rotates 90 degrees and upward for compact, easy transport in its own included travel pouch.
At the same time, the headphones are lightweight and comfortable to wear.

Tivoli will also sell a $200 BluCon wireless Bluetooth receiver. The $300 PAL BT sports a 2.5-inch, battery-powered speaker, while the $260 Model One's 3-inch speaker is encased in a lovely, retro wooden design. In addition to the cans, the company has two new radios, the PAL BT and the Model One BT, both of which support Bluetooth streaming. Just because Tivoli is venturing into headphone territory doesn't mean it is losing touch with its roots. The Radio Silenz will go on sale for $160 in June. Tivoli says the AAA battery will give you 50 hours of listening. The new Radio Silenz noise-cancelling cans have 40mm drivers in the wooden ear cups, and a "Defeat" button mutes your tunes so you can hear someone talking to you without taking the headphones off. Exhibit A: it's gearing up to release its first pair of headphones. This is par for the course for NC headphones, but it seemed much more noticeable on this model.Tivoli Audio is known for radios that rarely deviate from a tried-and-true formula (save for that snazzy crystal-encrusted Model One), but the company is still capable of surprises. But the problem is you can hear a discernible hiss when listening to quieter music or during gaps in playback. I tried the noise-cancelling in a few different environments and found that it did an OK job muffling the sound of the air-conditioning fan in my office (it's a loud fan that's similar to the background noise you'd experience on an aircraft). That's a nice feature and I also appreciated that you don't have to engage the noise-canceling to listen to music. A button on the dongle, which also has a volume control, allows you to defeat the noise canceling and quiet your music so you can hear what's going on outside your headphones and talk to someone, perhaps a flight attendant. To be clear, this is an active noise-canceling headphone, so the noise-canceling circuitry is incorporated into the aforementioned inline dongle (it's powered by a AAA battery and gives you about 50 hours of use). The noise-canceling feature is also disappointing. The wood trim on the earcups is available in 3 difference colors (walnut color shown). They don't sound bad, but they don't sound terribly good either. Instead, there's something a little mushy and bloated sounding about these headphones that puts them squarely in the sub-$50 camp. I expected tighter bass and more detail from these guys, particularly because I have a lot of respect for the sound that Tivoli radios deliver. But let me reiterate: the HT-21s are $25 headphones and these are $159.99 headphones.Īgain, you can't expect too much refinement from entry-level $25-$35 on-ear headphones, but your expectations rise dramatically when you get into the $150 price range. That said, we did give the HT-21s a good review largely because editor Justin Yu liked their design and thought they sounded quite decent for the money. They both lack any sort of refinement associated with headphones that cost $150. The HT-21 seems a bit thin by comparison but offers a touch more clarity. The Radio Silenz offers more bass, but in the process sacrifices some detail. In fact, the Radio Silenz and HT-21 do sound different. True, two headphones can look the same on the outside (share the same housing) but sound different altogether. Separated at birth: The Radio Silenz and MEElectronics HT-21.
