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.

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.

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.

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.

The headphone position can be toggled by clicking anywhere on the frame.

They can be locked in either positions:

• If locked in the active position, the headphones will be locked in place.

The system will remember the active and inactive position independently.
