Our easy-to-use headphone rental store means that you can request a hire quote in a matter of minutes.

How To Hire Headphones – A Quick Guide

Booking Headphones

It’s simple. If you see headphones that you would like to hire just submit the enquiry form that accompanies it. We’ll just need a few details about your rental dates, delivery postcode, etc. and within 24-36 hours we’ll email you a quote. From there if you decide (and we agree) to hire the headsets, we’ll arrange your order for you. VAT isn’t applicable to any hire prices you see on Place Over Ears.

Nice and Clean

We thoroughly clean our headphones after each hire and re-pack them fresh for their next adventure. Learn more about our headphone hygiene.

Delivery

Unless you ask us to install your headphones kit, we use APC Overnight for all our UK deliveries and collections to and from your chosen address.

A first delivery attempt will take place at least 2 working days before your first day of hire. Collection can take place on an agreed day following your event, and this doesn’t have to be the next working day that follows your event. Rest easy.

APC Overnight (UK only)
Delivery (Weekday) before 16.00 (Unboxed service)	£29.95
Collection (Weekday) (Unboxed service)	£34.95

Really important: if APC Overnight cannot locate a suitable signatory, your consignment may be returned to the depot for delivery the next day. If your headphone event is time-critical this is important!

International customers, please get in touch for delivery pricing.

Collection

After your hire ends we’ll email you to confirm which working day APC Overnight can call to collect your consignment. Once we have those confirmed details, you’ll pack the kit and security seal it and we will email you APC Overnight label(s) for affixing to each tote container in your consignment.

Another really important thing: if you are unsure that your consignment will be ready in time for APC at 9.00am on the agreed day, please give us at least 24 hours notice. If we are not given enough time to cancel your collection, APC Overnight will charge us £20 for a ‘no show’ and we will pass this charge on to you.

Lost, Theft or Total Damage

The vast majority of our audio hires run without a glitch. In the very rare case of either loss, theft, or total damage of rented headsets, we’ll calculate a final charge to replace the headphones, which will be;

A reasonable market value of the kit, based on it’s age since we purchased it
Plus, a one-off administration charge of £20.00 to re-order a replacement product(s)
