DALI IO-6 Review

Not the most feature-rich headphones in this very feature-conscious part of the market, but the DALI IO-6 have it where it counts

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...

Dali iO-6 review

Dali's gorgeous first headphones take aim at the very best

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

Dali IO-6 review

Stop the world, Dali wants to get on

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

DALI IO-6

Many loudspeaker companies have diversified into headphones, but none has done so as spectacularly as Danish manufacturer DALI. Not only is the IO-6 a wireless design, it also incorporates excellent active noise cancelling, adding to its closed-back...

DALI IO-6 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphone Review

DALI has joined the wireless NC headphone fray with its unique and stylish take on this burgeoning product category. Do our Danish friends bring anything new to a party typically hosted by the likes of Sony and Bose?

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!

DALI IO-6 Wireless Hi-Fi headphone review: Wonderful, warm sound awaits buyers of these noise-cancelling cans

Exceptional sound quality and noise reduction combine with solid construction and enviable comfort in this top-notch headphone.

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...

Review: DALI IO-6 | Luxurious Noise-cancellation DALI IO-6

Dali's headphone debut DALI IO-6 secures the Danes a place in the top class of luxury noise-cancellation.

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...

Fantastic sound and quality build and comfort

I have used and tested a few of the currently available wireless headphones on the market and these are the best for me in terms of sound quality at this budget. The only wireless headphones I have tried that surpass these are the Beyerdynamic Amiron...

Great Headphones With One Small Caveat.

These are excellent headphones. I tested them against the Sony 1000xm4 and Bowers and Wilkins PX7. The Sonys were too bassy and the Bowers and Wilkins PX 7 sounded really unbalanced, which is surprising considering their PI 13s in ears are brilliant....
