Frequently Asked Questions: Silent Disco for Birthday Parties

How many headphones do I need for a birthday party?

For a typical party of 20-40 guests, 20-30 headphones is plenty since not everyone dances at once. For larger parties of 50+, we recommend 40-50 headphones. Kids' parties can use fewer since kids love sharing and swapping.

Are silent disco headphones safe for children?

Yes. Our headphones have a comfortable, adjustable fit for all head sizes and the volume is capped at safe listening levels. The LED lights are soft and won't cause discomfort. They're safe for children aged 5 and up.

Can I use my own Spotify playlist?

Absolutely. Connect any audio source — phone, laptop, DJ mixer — to the transmitter via 3.5mm or RCA cable. Play Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, or any audio source on each channel.

Is it hard to set up silent disco for a birthday party?

Not at all. Plug the transmitter into power, connect your audio sources (phone or laptop), and hand out headphones. Setup takes about 5 minutes. No technical knowledge required.
