The DALI IO-12 headphones are designed and engineered following the same sound principles as DALI's full-size loudspeakers. Incorporating advanced technologies such as the patented SMC magnet driver material, low-loss rubber surround, rigid paper fibre cone, and low resonance enclosures, the IO-12s provide low-loss sound with exceptional clarity and dynamic capabilities. These headphones offer a true Hi-Fi speaker experience for your head.
The IO-12s are the world's first headphones to incorporate an SMC magnet system. Utilizing the same material as DALI's high-end EPICON speakers, Soft Magnetic Composite reduces eddy currents and hysteresis, significantly lowering uneven harmonic distortion. This innovation results in crystal-clear, ultra-low distortion sound, bringing listeners closer to a true-to-life audio experience.
Whether connected to a Hi-Fi system for a vinyl listening session or paired with a smartphone for on-the-go music, the DALI IO-12 headphones utilize advanced technologies like Bluetooth® aptX Adaptive to provide an astonishing musical experience in any setting.
Immerse yourself in your favorite music without distractions. Dali’s state-of-the-art Audiophile Active Noise Cancellation technology ensures a truly immersive listening experience by effectively blocking out low-frequency noises. With three AANC modes, you can customize the IO-12s to suit your environment, whether you're unwinding at home or commuting daily.
Experience extended listening sessions with confidence, thanks to the advanced lithium-ion battery of the IO-12 headphones, providing up to 35 hours of uninterrupted playback on a single charge. With battery-level LEDs and a convenient voice prompt indicating the remaining charge, you'll always stay informed and never have to worry about running out of power.
Customize your listening experience with the 'Hi-Fi' and 'Bass' sound modes, allowing you to tailor the performance to your personal style. Whether you prefer music as the artist intended or crave a punchy, bass-focused sound, the IO-12 headphones empower you to enjoy your music exactly how you like it.
