What is the difference between „Silen Chatbox“ and „Silen Space (Gen2)“?
Both product ranges from the Estonian manufacturer „Silen“ are among our bestsellers – which is hardly surprising, as both „Chatbox“ and „Space (Gen 2)“ offer excellent value for money in their respective quality segments!
Both product ranges comprise several models and sizes and cover the full spectrum of acoustic cubes, from telephone booths and work pods to small and larger meeting pods.
Telephone booths: Silen Chatbox Single vs. Silen Space Call
Workboxes: Silen Chatbox Solo vs. Silen Space Work
Meeting boxes: Silen Chatbox Duo vs. Silen Space Meet 2
Silen Space Gen 2 in two sets
The second-generation products in the „Silen Space“ range impress even the most discerning customers: sound insulation, the quality of the materials, the intuitive touch screen, and that pleasant sensation you get when the door closes, reminiscent of stepping into a luxurious hotel lobby… For us, „Silen Space (Gen 2)“ is therefore among the very best currently available on the market.
Silen Chatbox in two sentences
The Chatbox Acoustic Cubes, on the other hand, are optimised more for cost-effectiveness whilst still delivering very good performance. This is reflected in a slightly more limited range of colour options, slightly smaller dimensions and slightly lower sound insulation – although this is still far superior to that offered by many other suppliers and competitors.
