#TIVOLI RADIO SILENZ NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES PORTABLE#

Many designs we've seen recently have placed the NC circuitry and battery pack within the headphone itself, but here the vitals live in a line lump, along with a volume attenuator, the on-off switch, and a handy bypass switch the placement does lighten the headphones themselves but means you have a relatively weighty little object to clip to your shirt pocket.

Tivoli has come up with an appealing, if somewhat retro package, much in line with the company's table radio designs in terms of both form and functionality. While most new entrants have hewn closely to the patterns established by category pioneer (and still leader) Bose, Tivoli's new offering takes a somewhat different tack, its basic ultraportability owing more to classics like Sony's original Walkman 'phones or the Koss Porta Pro.

Will Tivoli win a place in our hearts, briefcases, and carry-on bags?Īnd perhaps more importantly, does the Radio Silenz stand up to the hot competition in the low-cost noise-canceling headphone market?Īs is true in most segments of the headphone market, we've seen a significant uptick in announcements of new low-cost noise cancelers lately.

The headphone in question, introduced with some fanfare but refreshingly little hype last month by company boss Tom DeVesto, is the Radio Silenz ($159) a lightweight, extremely portable noise canceler, featuring wooden earcups in a choice of three finishes - walnut, cherry, and black ash - that will immediately be familiar to fans of the company's incredibly popular table radios and minisystems. Tivoli's staked out a secure place for itself on the bedside tables and desks of stylish folks worldwide, and now they've decided to bring their tasteful finishes and wooden accents to the category everybody's getting into these days - headphones.
