What is a Silent Disco?

An event where music plays through wireless headphones instead of speakers — guests hear the music, everyone else hears nothing, so there’s no noise footprint outside the headphones themselves.

How do Silent Disco headphones work?

Each headset receives audio wirelessly from up to 3 transmitters at once, each on its own channel. Guests switch channels and adjust their own volume with buttons on the ear cup, and LED lights show which channel they’re on.

What events are perfect for Silent Disco rentals?

Weddings, schools and camps, churches, corporate events, private parties, festivals, and wellness events like yoga and meditation — anywhere noise restrictions, mixed-age audiences, or multiple simultaneous activities come up.

Why choose Austin Silent Disco over other rental companies?

Austin's original provider since 2012 — over a decade of events, same-day and emergency service, statewide Texas coverage, and nationwide shipping, with DJ and lighting production available if you want it.

How many Silent Disco headphones do I need for my event?

A good starting point is one per expected guest for full-participation events, or 70–80% for events where guests rotate in and out. Request a quote with your headcount for a specific recommendation.

What's included with Austin Silent Disco rentals?

Pre-charged, sanitized headphones for your guest count, up to 3 transmitters, and — for DIY — a full setup guide. Full-service (DFY) adds DJs, lighting, and on-site crew.

What areas does Austin Silent Disco serve?

Not just Austin — we provide events throughout Texas. Our own team can personally deliver, set up, and break down your event anywhere in the state, so you’re not relying entirely on a shipping company. Depending on event size and location we can deliver directly or ship the equipment (nationwide for DIY rentals). Direct team delivery is especially popular for larger events.

Can we use our own music and playlists?

Yes — stream from Spotify, a phone, or any standard audio device into any of the 3 channels. No proprietary app or music library required.

Do you provide DJs and other entertainment services?

Yes, as part of a full-service (DFY) rental — professional DJs, full lighting rigs, and LED dance floors are available alongside the headphone system itself.

What if something goes wrong with the equipment during my event?

Backup units are included on larger orders, and phone support is available for the duration of your event.

Is Silent Disco appropriate for all ages?

Yes — individual volume controls and no speaker amplification make it comfortable for children through seniors at the same event.

Quote

How far in advance should I book my Silent Disco rental?

As soon as your date is set — earlier booking gives us more flexibility on equipment and crew, especially for large or full-service events.

How much does Silent Disco rental cost in Austin?

We don’t publish fixed pricing — cost depends on headphone count, duration, delivery distance, and whether you go DIY or full-service. Request a quote and we’ll usually follow up within 24 hours.

How do I get a quote for my Austin Silent Disco event?

Use the Quick Quote form for a fast turnaround, or the Party Planner if you want a guided flow that matches you to the right setup — both live on the Get a Quote page.

Setup & Troubleshooting

How do I set up the headphones myself?

Every DIY rental ships with a full setup guide with photos — the DIY system is plug-and-play and setup typically takes 5–15 minutes. Don’t want to use your own phone or laptop? We also rent iPads loaded with ready-to-use playlists. The step-by-step videos below cover unboxing, pairing, and troubleshooting.

Watch and learn
