The new DALI IO-12 headphones will ship later this month and feature some innovative technologies borrowed from the Danish company's high-end loudspeakers.
Danish speaker manufacturer DALI has announced that it will begin shipping the world’s first headphones to use the company’s patented Soft Magnetic Compound technology. The DALI IO-12 will be fitted with the company’s own 50mm custom drivers, Active Noise Cancellation, a 35-hour battery life, aptX Adaptive Bluetooth codec, USB-C, and 3.5mm wired connections.
The IO-12 driver diaphragm uses technology from DALI’s proprietary paper fiber diaphragm material, which has mass, rigidity and damping, making it ideal for wide-frequency reproduction with minimal distortion and energy storage. This versatility means the IO-12 can be used to listen to music from smartphones, Digital Audio Players , PCs and even gaming consoles. When using the supplied USB-C cable, the headphones can handle audio at resolutions up to 24-bit / 96kHz resolution.
Unlike many wireless headphones, DALI hasn’t developed an app for use with the IO-12 headphones. Instead of using an app, users can skip tracks, pause music, and adjust volume levels by pressing the IO-12’s integrated buttons. There’s no mention in the press release that announced the new headphones to say how firmware might be updated.
