DALI IO-6

Energetic, appealing sound ; Good battery life ; Comfortable fit ; High-quality materials

Binary noise-cancelling ; No touch controls

With the IO-6, DALI aims to ruffle a few feathers in the premium wireless noise-cancellation arena – but falls short of the best. Despite this, these are a well-judged pair of headphones with an appealing sound and effective noise-cancellation. They’re...

Insightful and detailed ; Textured vocals ; Premium build ; Effective noise cancelling

Reserved dynamic punch

These Dalis have the potential to be class-leaders, but their beautifully precise sound lacks a little dynamic punch

Clear, balanced sound quality with just the right amount of bass. ; Handsome, thoughtful design. ; Effective fixed-level ANC. ; Top of class comfort. ; Excellent battery life. ; Possibly a smartphone app to tailor the level of ANC.

Possibly a smartphone app to tailor the level of ANC.

The DALI IO-6 are currently my (and my wife’s) favorite pair of noise-canceling headphones. Highly recommended!

Sturdy yet light ; Great battery life ; Convincing, engaging sound ; aptX HD Bluetooth

So-so noise-cancelling ; Push controls aren’t as nice as touch controls ; Cut-throat competition

For sound, the Dalis are simple to recommend. For features, not quite so much

Rich, warm, smooth sound ; Tonality remains the same with ANC on or off ; Well-designed controls and verbal confirmation of most actions

You can't engage ANC without Bluetooth and amplification ; Pricey

The DALI IO-6 is an exceptional wireless ANC headphone. It’s well made, comfortable to wear, and easy to operate. Most importantly, it sounds superb on a wide variety of music. Its tonal balance is on the warm, rich, sumptuous side—which I love—and...

Dynamic and clean sound that can withstand comparison with good traditional headphones. The noise reduction works impeccably, and the build quality is high.

Relatively heavy. No app, and only a noise reduction setting. But why offer lots of adjustment to something that is in perfect balance?

IO-6 is Dali’s debut in the headphone market, and they have proven here that they are able to transfer the experience from their own speaker units to the smaller format. There is indeed a lack of a nice lifestyle app for the mobile, and it is only an...

ausgewogener Klang ; gutes Noise Cancelling ; guter USB-DAC integriert

Audio-Klangurteil: 74 Punkte; Preis/Leistung: sehr gut; audio-Empfehlung "Klangtipp"

Dynamisk og ren lyd som tåler sammenligning med gode tradisjonelle hodetelefoner. Støyreduksjonen fungerer upåklagelig, og byggekvaliteten er høy.

Forholdsvis tunge. Ingen app, og kun en støyreduksjonsinnstilling. Men hvorfor tilby masse justering til noe som er i perfekt balanse?
