The higher of the two models, Dali iO-6, represents the focal point of Dali's signature approach to modern headphones. Structurally, Dali iO-6 are classic dynamic headphones with powerful neodymium magnetic systems installed in the drivers. This system drives a 50mm cellulose diaphragm, a solution that is not commonly found in headphones of this class and design nowadays. The company's engineers believe that paper provides the most natural and accurate sound even in headphones.
In addition to the quality artificial leather finish of the cushions, which are filled with memory foam material, it is worth noting the excellent adjustment of the headband. Not only does it have a soft padding, but the degree of elasticity is precisely tuned to provide reliable contact with the listener's head without causing discomfort. It is pleasing to see that even in their debut product, the company has managed to find the right balance.
The claimed battery life of the model is up to 30 hours on a single charge, and the headphones offer multiple options for wired and wireless connectivity. The Bluetooth module supports aptX HD codec, promising high-resolution music transmission with minimal compression. For those who prefer the best sound quality, the headphones offer a USB-C connector, allowing not only charging but also digital signal input from a computer.
Another feature of the Dali iO-6 headphones, which is essential for any high-end wireless headphone model today, is the active noise-canceling system. It has three operating modes - On, Off, and Transparency Mode. In the Transparency Mode, users can hear the surrounding sounds thanks to the built-in microphones that pick up and mix environmental sounds into the signal. The built-in 1100mAh battery provides up to 30 hours of autonomous headphone operation on a single charge. The model comes with a sturdy carrying case.
