ZETAK and Silentsystem create the largest headphone concert in history

San Sebastián, September 8, 2025 – Three consecutive evenings, over 40,000 attendees in total and an arena transformed into a sea of Silentsystem wireless headphones: the format “Mitoaroa II” by the band ZETAK has set a new world record for silent concerts.

From September 5 to 7, the Illunbe Arena in Donostia–San Sebastián hosted the largest “silent” event ever held, with 13,000 wireless headphones distributed each night to the audience, who experienced a one-of-a-kind show in total sound immersion.

Silentsystem Technology at the Heart of the Show

The achievement was made possible by the technology of Silentsystem, a leader in wireless audio systems, which supplied and managed the fleet of SX-839 V2 HiFi headphones.
These models, designed to ensure high fidelity, signal stability, and extended battery life, allowed thousands of listeners to be synchronized simultaneously with a consistent experience in every corner of the arena.

An Unprecedented Production

The event required meticulous organization: the distribution and collection of tens of thousands of headphones, radio frequency management, charging logistics, and sanitization. A team effort involving dozens of technicians and volunteers ensured precision and smooth execution.

The result was astonishing: outside, almost silence; inside, a concert with crystal-clear and powerful sound, capable of transforming the way live music is experienced.

A World Record

Never before had a silent concert reached such dimensions. With over 40,000 total attendees, ZETAK and Silentsystem made history, demonstrating how wireless technology can expand the possibilities of live shows, respect the urban sound environment, and offer new perspectives for the entertainment industry.

Quotes

“With ZETAK we have taken live music to a new dimension: a silent concert on the outside, but extraordinarily powerful and shared on the inside. For us at Silentsystem España, it is a source of pride to have made this world record possible right here in the Basque Country.”
– Fabrizio Baraldo, CEO Silentsystem España S.L.

Upcoming Events

After Pamplona and San Sebastián, ZETAK’s trilogy will continue with “Mitoaroa III”, scheduled for June 20, 2026 at San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, with the goal of once again pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
