TRUE HI-FI SOUND
Highest standards of design, durability,
DALI IO-12 headphones are designed and engineered using the same sound principles as our full-size loudspeakers. Featuring technologies such as our patented SMC magnet driver material, low-loss rubber surround, rigid paper fibre cone and low resonance enclosures, the IO-12s deliver the same low-loss sound with ultimate clarity and dynamic capabilities that you would expect from any DALI speaker. They’re true Hi-Fi speakers for your head.
CLOSER TO REALITY
World-first driver technology
The IO-12s are the world’s first headphones to feature an SMC magnet system. Using the same material as our high-end EPICON speakers, Soft Magnetic Composite reduces eddy currents and hysteresis to lower uneven harmonic distortion drastically, resulting in crystal-clear, ultra-low distortion sound that brings you closer to reality.
WIRED OR WIRELESS
The only headphones you’ll ever need
Whether you’re plugged into your Hi-Fi immersed in your vinyl collection or paired with your smartphone enjoying on-the-go music, DALI IO-12s harness advanced technologies like Bluetooth® aptX Adaptive to deliver an astonishing musical experience, however you use them.

35-HOUR BATTERY LIFE
