The World's First Wireless Headphones to Use an SMC Magnet System: Dali IO-12 Deliver Loss-Loss Sound and Feature Active Noise Cancellation, aptX Adaptive, and 35-Hour Battery Life

The world's first headphones to feature an SMC magnet system, the Dali IO-12 are not your average, ordinary wireless 'phones. The same material employed in Dali's Epicon Series speakers, patented SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) technology reduces eddy currents and hysteresis to lower uneven harmonic distortion, resulting in clear, ultra-low distortion playback.

Further boosted with low-loss rubber surround, 50mm paper-fiber cone drivers, and low-resonance enclosures, IO-12s deliver the dynamic capabilities that you would expect from a dedicated hi-fi speaker. You can further dial-in the sound with Hi-Fi and Bass sound modes, and control everything via multifunction buttons that mean you don't need to reach for your phone. And while IO-12 lasts for up to 35 hours thanks to its lithium-ion battery, LEDs and a voice prompt will tell you how much charge you have left so that you never run the risk of running out of juice. 

Able to easily pair with your smartphone by way of Bluetooth aptX Adaptive, or plug into your main system via its 3.5mm input, the closed-back IO-12 also delivers comfort. A lightweight headband,  stylish textile materials, luxuriously padded over-ear ear pads will melt with your profile. 

What's more, IO-12 shut out the distractions of the everyday world. Dali's Audiophile Active Noise Cancellation technology delivers immersive presentations while blocking out low-frequency noises. And with three AANC modes, you can tailor the IO-12s to your situation, whether you're relaxing at home or on your daily commute.
