The sound quality is reasonable, with a balanced bass and decent, if not spectacular, detail. It's best not to use the included volume controls too much - you're better off turning it low and increasing the volume from source (your phone or mp3 player). This knocks out the music while you hold it down, so you can hear the outside world. When you're listening to music through the headphones there is usually no problem, but if you just want to use the feature for some peace and quiet then you might be put off by an audible hiss.Ī cable coming down from the left ear has a compartment on it which features the on/off button for noise cancelling - you can listen to music without that feature activated if you want - as well as a volume control, and a 'defeat' button. It's not as good at wiping out conversation chatter, but this could be useful if you want to listen out for public service announcements. They are noise cancelling headphones - which require one triple-A battery to operate and lasts 50 hours - and they work well with noise like bus engines. Sarah Tew/CNET True, two headphones can look the same on the outside (share the same housing) but sound different altogether.Nice wooden features: The headphones look stylish when worn thanks to the wood panels Separated at birth: The Radio Silenz and MEElectronics HT-21. What's disconcerting is that the Tivoli headphones come with the exact same thin, cheap plastic carrying pouch that's included with the HT-21s. The only problem is that aside from the inline noise-canceling circuitry, which doesn't do much when activated, the Radio Silenz is very similar to the $25 MEElectronics HT-21. The headphones actually look pretty nice, are lightweight, fold up for transport, and are fairly comfortable for on-ear headphones. The reason I say unoriginal is that the Radio Silenz headphones appear to be an off-the-shelf Chinese design that's gussied up with Tivoli's signature wood trim on the earcups (the wood comes in walnut, cherry, and black ash colors). Instead of coming up with a unique, high-quality product, Tivoli's put something together that's both unoriginal and decidedly entry-level, with a misaligned $159.99 price tag that doesn't match its performance.
