Hi-Fi for your head
Built on the same principles as the loudspeakers.
DALI designs its headphones with the same sound principles as its full-size loudspeakers. IO-8 uses custom-designed 50 mm drivers with a paper fibre cone and electronics inherited from the IO-12: a genuine Hi-Fi headphone, not a lifestyle accessory with a logo.
Audiophile Active Noise Cancellation is tuned to strip away the outside world without impairing the music. Three ANC modes let you adapt to the room, the street or the train. And when the battery eventually asks for a charge, a wired mode keeps the music going.
Made for the way you move
Your music, without the world in the way.
A commute is not a listening room. A flight is not a concert hall. The IO-8 is designed to keep the music intact anyway: the detail, the timing, the low end, with the outside world turned down. At home, it is a pair of Hi-Fi headphones. On the move, it is the same sound with the volume of everything else reduced.
50 mm, paper fibre.
Custom-designed 50 mm drivers with a paper fibre cone, tuned with the same principles as DALI’s loudspeakers. Hi-Res certified.
Audiophile noise cancellation.
Three ANC modes, tuned to remove the distractions without touching the music. For the room, the commute and the flight.
Up to 35 hours.
A full-size battery for extended listening, with battery-level LEDs and a voice prompt for the charge you have left.
Hi-Fi or Bass. Wired or wireless.
Two sound profiles for the way you like to listen, and a cable for when you want to keep going without a charge.
