DALI\u00a0has unveiled\u00a0the IO-12 Bluetooth headphones, which it says is the world’s first Soft Magnetic Compound (SMC) headphone.\u00a0And it’s hard to disagree with this, since SMC is DALI’s proprietary patented technology to minimize hysteresis in speaker magnetic systems.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this, the DALI IO-12 headphones, equipped with proprietary 50 mm paper fiber cones, drastically reduce non-linear harmonic distortion.\u00a0According to DALI, “By applying SMC to the IO-12, we essentially achieved an electrostatic level of midrange purity.”<\/p>\n

In addition to wireless Bluetooth with aptX Adaptive, the IO-12 is capable of receiving analog signal (3.5mm mini-jack cable included) and digital signal via the included USB-C cable in quality up to 24bit\/96kHz (the same cable is used). and for charging).\u00a0The result is a commendable \u201comnivore\u201d that allows you to use the headphones with smartphones, digital audio players, PCs, game consoles, etc.<\/p>\n

The system of controls on one of the cups worked out on the first two models of\u00a0DALI IO-4 and IO-6\u00a0headphones gives access to almost all the functions of the novelty.\u00a0The active noise cancellation (ANC) system is positioned as one of the positives.\u00a0The manufacturer especially notes the high intelligibility during telephone communications, due to “high-quality built-in microphones.”<\/p>\n

The battery will provide DALI IO-12 with 35 hours of sound, for which only 2 profiles are provided in the headphones – Hi-Fi and Bass.\u00a0The mechanics of the headphones allows you to fold them in several ways.\u00a0The soft parts of the headband and large square ear cushions are decorated with genuine leather.\u00a0In addition to cables and a 3.5 – 6.35 mm adapter, the headphones come with a travel case.\u00a0All of this will go on sale in August.<\/p>\n

In Europe, the DALI IO-12 wireless noise canceling headphones will cost 1,000 euros.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
