![]() In these two cases, I found the Radio Silenz to have a beautiful, crisp, articulate response?not bass-heavy in the slightest, but armed with subtle low-end. Other combinations can work as well, such as maxing out the headphones (or coming close) and lowering your source volume significantly. The best sound I got out of my iPhone source was acheived by putting it close to maximum volume, and slowly adding volume on the headphones. If you were to max out both your sound source's volume and your headphone volume, you'd likely be in for an ugly (and painful) surprise. Some do offer volume controls that actually adjust the sound source's volume, as is the case with many iPhone-friendly models. Most headphones don't include an independent volume control, for this very reason. ![]() Unfortunately, the volume knob is an unnecessary addition that has the potential to cause distortion if your sound source's volume and the headphone volume are both too loud. You get no mobile phone controls or microphone for calls.?The headphones ship with a not-so-protective, unpadded carrying pouch that they can fold down flat into, along with an airplane jack adapter.? Also on the compartment are a Power switch that engages the noise-cancellation (the Radio Silenz can output audio when in passive mode), and a volume knob. The compartment also has a "Defeat" button, which mutes audio playback and boosts the ambient microphone feed so you can better hear your surroundings without needing to remove the headphones. The metallic headband adjusters recede into or expand from a black plastic covering, and the headband is covered in black leather that provides a bit of cushion over your scalp.Ī black cable connects with the left ear, with the shirt-clip compartment that houses the noise-cancellation circuitry and the single AA battery (one is included, and Tivoli estimates a battery life of about 50 hours). The black pads on the earcups are not the most plush we've felt, but they are not uncomfortable?they could be described as firm. On each earpiece, the Tivoli logo is etched into the wood, just above the visible microphones used for detecting ambient room noise as well as amplifying room noise (all part of the noise-cancellation process). The Radio Silenz uses wood for the housings of its earpieces, offered in three different finishes: black ash, walnut, or cherry. Luckily, at moderate volumes, the headphones sound great?and like all things Tivoli, they're good looking, too. In short, the Radio Silenz suffers from some rookie mistakes, like a superfluous volume knob that can lead to distortion issues and noise-cancellation that, while effective, also adds some noticeable high pitch hiss to the equation. As the name implies, this is an active noise-cancellation pair, which seems like a gutsy move for a company that has never even attempted a standard pair of headphones. The Audio Radio Silenz is the debut headphone model from the audio and design icon, and at $159.99 (list), it's surprisingly more affordable than most Tivoli products. The company is not known for headphones, for the simple reason that, until now, it had never released a pair. ![]() The model is calle Radio Silenz and is coming out soon.Tivoli Audio is known for its expensive speakers and sound systems designed with a minimalist retro vibe that often utilizes pretty wood or brightly colored plastic. The result, according to what they say, is a great sound and wonderful noise cancellation. ![]() And it has done in his own way using wood for ears covers. Honestly I did not expect that the brand came out with a headphone, but seen the trend these days, also Tivoli decided to work on the product.
