Slightly interesting idea, but theft of the wireless headphones might be a costly issue.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/

At one point I had to use the restroom, which meant I had to take my headphones off and walk around. It was extremely eery to be in a theater that was entirely silent, but every face staring intently at the stage, and occasionally the entire audience bursting into laughter.

As far as a rave goes, it's been close to ten years since I was at one, but the bass pounding my body was an important factor that simply cannot be reproduced with headphones no matter how good they are.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/Nope. There would be more chance of that with a sound system mounted at the front of the tent, as is usually the case. If the headphone system was IR based, which I couldn't imagine would work very well, then everyone would be more likely to be in sync. (light travels faster than sound) If the system were RF based, then I don't think there would be any issues.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/
I could see how it could be an issue for in clubs though, since not everyone is look at a set object like a screen or stage.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/
The best bit is when they have two channels to choose from. When you're listening to an average song on channel A, and the half of the crowd who has channel B starts going mad so everyone with A starts switching over. Its great for DJ-battles. And pretty weird to see.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/check out silent dance party]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/30/a-thousand-people-dancing-at-a-silent-rave/Dec 19th 2005 12:53AM
