Dali IO-8 Iron Black

Premium Hi‑Fi Headphones Built with Speaker DNA

The DALI IO‑8 embodies the same acoustic philosophy used in DALI’s high‑end loudspeakers, condensed into a headphone form factor — delivering natural tonality, measured dynamics, and a sound that’s at once precise and engaging.

Seamless Wired & Wireless Listening

Whether via Bluetooth 5.2 (with aptX Adaptive / HD / AAC support), USB‑C digital audio, or analog 3.5 mm connection, the IO‑8 adapts effortlessly to your listening setup. In passive (wired) mode, all active functions are bypassed — ideal for low-power or purist use cases.

Audiophile‑Grade Noise Control

DALI’s “Audiophile ANC” system offers three modes: active noise cancellation (ANC On), transparency, and ANC Off — allowing you to tune out distractions without diminishing sonic fidelity or introducing coloration.

Comfortable Design for Extended Use

Weighing just 325 g, the IO‑8 features memory‑foam over‑ear cushions, a softly padded headband, and premium textile and leather touches — built for long listening sessions without fatigue.
