Popular questions

Verified today, Olexandr Cherkashchenko

Is there an app for the Dali iO-12?

No, there is no separate app. ANC, transparency mode, and two sound profiles are switched using the buttons on the earcup, and the equalizer, buttons, or voice prompts cannot be customized.Source:Expert reviews

How do the Dali iO-12 sound in Hi-Fi mode?

The sound is neutral and detailed, with an unusually wide soundstage for closed-back headphones. Vocals and instruments are well separated, but the treble may seem too bright to some listeners.Source:Expert reviews

Can they be used without charging?

Dali iO-12 can be connected via 3.5 mm in passive mode even when the battery is completely discharged. ANC, transparency mode, and sound processing are unavailable in this case.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews

Is the Dali iO-12 convenient to take on trips?

They are not the most compact for travel: the earcups swivel flat but do not fold, and the hard case is bulky. On the plus side, the package includes a long 3-meter cable and an airplane adapter.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews

Are they suitable for extended listening?

Dali iO-12 are comfortable for long sessions thanks to their very large memory foam ear cushions and soft fit. The 370 g weight is noticeable when walking, and the ear cups may shift slightly on a small head.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews

How long does the battery last on the Dali iO-12?

At around 50% volume, they last about 35 hours in practice, and having ANC enabled hardly reduces this time. There is no fast charging, but when the battery runs low, you can switch to a wired 3.5 mm connection.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews

Do they block out noise on airplanes and trains?

Dali iO-12 noticeably reduce low-frequency traffic rumble, but their ANC is less powerful than that of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and Sony WH-1000XM5. Listening to music is more comfortable, but there are more effective options for maximum isolation while traveling.Source:Expert reviewsUser Reviews
