True Hi-Fi Wireless Headphones - The Ultimate Listening Experience
The DALI IO-12 headphones are a cutting-edge blend of high-fidelity sound and advanced technology, designed for audiophiles who demand excellence both at home and on the move. With innovative features like the world’s first SMC magnet system in headphones, advanced noise cancellation, and dual sound modes, the IO-12s deliver an unparalleled listening experience, whether wired or wireless.
World-First SMC Magnet System
DALI’s IO-12s are the first headphones in the world to incorporate the SMC magnet system, a technology originally debuted in DALI's high-end EPICON series. This material, known for its high magnetic permeability and low electrical conductivity, significantly reduces unwanted harmonic distortion by eliminating common issues like eddy currents and hysteresis. The result is a sound so transparent and accurate that it blurs the line between live and recorded music.
Hi-Fi Sound on the Go
The DALI IO-12 headphones are engineered to provide the same high-quality audio experience as DALI’s full-size loudspeakers. They feature a 50mm paper fibre cone driver with a low-loss rubber surround, ensuring rich and detailed sound reproduction. The incorporation of the SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) magnet system drastically reduces distortion, providing clear and crisp sound that rivals live performances.
Wired or Wireless Flexibility
Whether connected to your Hi-Fi system or streaming wirelessly from your smartphone, the IO-12s deliver exceptional audio quality. Equipped with Bluetooth 5.2 and aptX Adaptive support, these headphones provide sharp 16-24 bit/96 kHz audio streaming. The ergonomic design ensures comfort during long listening sessions, making them the only headphones you'll ever need.
Audiophile Active Noise Cancellation
The IO-12s feature advanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology, designed to block out low-frequency noises and deliver an immersive listening experience. With three ANC modes, users can customize their noise cancellation settings to suit any environment, from a noisy commute to a quiet evening at home.
Performance and Customization
Extended Battery Life
An advanced lithium-ion battery offers up to 35 hours of playback on a single charge, ensuring uninterrupted listening. Battery-level LEDs and voice prompts keep you informed about the remaining power, so you’re never caught off guard.
Dual Sound Modes
To cater to different listening preferences, the IO-12s offer two distinct sound modes: 'Hi-Fi' and 'Bass.' The 'Hi-Fi' mode delivers a balanced, authentic sound as the artist intended, while the 'Bass' mode enhances low frequencies for a more powerful, punchy sound profile.

Testimonials
Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.
The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.
