The real solid wood on the outside of the cups look cool, and contribute to good sound quality. These seem well-made and stood up well to being thrown in various bags for flights. Wrapped in wood just like their popular radios, the Radio. For this much money, we’d like to see a more comfortable fit and more noise cancellation. Tivoli makes a move from the tabletop to your travel bag with their new Radio Silenz headphones. The ear cups rotate inwards to make the headphones easy to carry, but the top band doesn’t collapse or fold at all. Definitely more useful than ear-buds at blocking out noises on planes or loud hotels. The Radio Silenz product description lists the headphones as reducing outside noise by up to 85 percent-we’d say that’s accurate, but if we’re paying this much for headphones, we’d like them to cancel more noise.

We also liked that the Radio Silenz can be used as regular headphones without the battery (although the noise cancellation feature won’t work), which is important for travelers’ who may not have a back-up battery on hand mid-flight.Ĭons: The on-ear headphones aren’t quite one size fits all, and they hurt our ears after wearing them for more than a few hours straight on a long flight.

Pros: The sound quality is great, and the noise canceling is pretty decent. Noise cancelling technology are isolation on headphones as to what ankle warmers were to practical fashion sense in the 1980s - both are fads and dont. The ear cups also rotate and fold back for easy storage (in the included pouch). What Is it: Tivoli Audio’s Radio Silenz noise-canceling headphones.
