Don't expect great sound. When I took them out of the box, checked out the accessories, and turned them on for the first time, a voice in English announced the power-on and battery charge percentage and readiness to establish a Bluetooth pair. The materials and build quality are just excellent. I picked the black ones; they're quite heavy, but that makes you feel like you're holding a real thing, not a plastic imitation of quality materials. Everything connected quickly and easily without any hassle. I keep music in uncompressed formats on my smartphone, with the basic free streaming services Deezer and SoundCloud. So I was ready for some quality sound. Plus, my phone supports Aptx-HD for high-quality audio signal transmission. When I started playing music, I was a bit surprised—where's the bass? It was there but sort of in the background, with the mid and high frequencies dominating. Don't worry, the sound turned out fine; the headphone membranes needed some work-in time. After 2-3 hours of listening, the sound balance improved. Yes, these headphones need breaking in, so don't expect a wow effect right out of the box. After warming them up for 8 hours with special noise, the sound improved even more. So, these headphones might reach their optimal sound after 100 hours of playback (as many suggest). I haven't managed to drain them yet; I still have 70% charge, so I haven't used the promised 60-hour battery life, but the sound is already pretty good. A high-rise building for sound, a beautiful performance for vocals, a three-hour work with a battery, a mechanical design High price ![]() |
I agree with the content of the previous review, the manufacturing of these headphones is a huge downside. Sound quality. Operating time. The quality of the materials is poor. After a short and careful use, the headset's upholstery crumbled to shreds and came unglued. To turn it on, you have to slide the switch multiple times. The photo shows the crumbled material at the bottom of the box. |
Seven times measure cut once
The Danish brand Dali is well known to all fans of hi-fi acoustics, but these guys are really newcomers to the headphone market. Realizing this, they were in no hurry to go anywhere, for a start they went through a dozen prototypes of varying degrees of success. Until, finally, they got really competitive headphones that meet all the requirements of the time. And it’s true that this is never a Chinese OEM — a separate R&D team was founded to create them, which for several years poached specialists from competitors. Looking ahead, we note that all this was not in vain. Dali IO-4 not only meet modern requirements, but surpass them in many ways. For example, how do you like the ability to work up to 60 hours on a single battery? Of course, here you need to take into account many different factors, such as the sound source and volume, so we immediately say that for the entire time of the test we were not able to defuse them.
The devil is in the details
The list of additional benefits of Dali IO-4 can stretch for several paragraphs, so let's go over the most important ones. First of all, we highlight a well-thought-out control system, water protection of the case, universal USB-C for charging and listening to music from a laptop, as well as damn comfortable ear cushions with “memory” foam, reinforced headband attachments and swivel cups. In terms of comfort and durability, the Dali IO-4 gets 5 out of 5. By the way, if the lack of noise isolation disappoints you on this list, we have good news. In parallel with the IO-4, the Danes released exactly the same IO-6 headphones with almost standard noise reduction.
Signature Dali sound
When designing the speakers, the engineers did not step on the throat of their own song and used paper-fibre speakers, well-known to fans of the brand. It turned out great: IO-4 bribes with overall timbre richness, transparency in the upper middle and an abundance of details even at low listening volumes. Their presentation is dominated by lightness and airiness, with high intelligibility of instruments in the entire register. Jazz, classical music, and in general any music with an abundance of live instruments and details, especially benefits from this. But sometimes you want power and dirt, as in the days of illegal British raves. And here the Dali IO-4 is a so-so assistant, they lack fangs. As for the rest, there are no complaints and sheer delight, you can't expect such sound from a wireless model for $300.
