RLV noise blocking

When worn in the active position, these noise blocking headphones will suppress all local chat and optionally IM messages. The wearer will remain free to talk but won't be able to hear any answers.

Inactive mode

If the headphones are worn around the neck (inactive position), if the wearer doesn't have an RLV client or if the RLV Activator isn't worn, the buttons on each earpiece will be grey, unlit.

In inactive mode, the buttons are not available.

Active mode

If the headphones are worn in the active position, the RLV activator is worn and the user has a RLV compatible client, The buttons on each earpiece will be brightly colored and lit.

In active mode, anyone but the wearer of the headphones can press the buttons on each sides of the headset.



Pressing the temporary microphone button and allow the wearer to hear local chat for a limited amount of time. The button will turn green and a circular timer will start to tick down as soon as it detects that no avatar is speaking.

If the timer runs out, the button will go back red and block local chat again. Anyone can click the button before the timer runs out in order to imediately turn off the temporary microphone.


Pressing the IM Toggle button will enable and disable the ability to receive Instant messages. If for some reason you do not wish to allow people to restrict your IM capabilities, create a notecard, rename it “NO_IM_BLOCKING” (without the quotes) and drop it inside the isolation headphone's inventory. This will completely disable the IM blocking feature and set this specific button as inactive.

Headphone position

The headphones have two positions:

  • Active: When it is on the wearer's head and covering the ears.
  • Inactive: When it is around the wearer's neck.

They can be locked in either positions:

  • If it is locked in the active position it will prevent removal.
  • If it is locked in the inactive position it will merely prevent anyone to put the headphones in the active position.
