Wireless noise-cancelling headphones are no longer strictly the province of the business traveler or the convenience-seeker.

They are the next product segment to be lavished with the “Audiophile” treatment by manufacturers. And frankly, why shouldn’t they be? Audiophiles aren’t cavepeople. We travel and desire the same convenience and style as the average consumer, but we simply expect a higher level of sound quality. The demand is certainly there, and more and more audio companies are pushing the envelope and researching new technology. In the next few years, we are sure to see new Bluetooth chipsets and transmission standards to accommodate the bigger data pipe that lossless and hi-res audio demand.

In the here-and-now, DALI joined the wireless headphone fray with their stylish take on this product category. I have been putting the new DALI iO-6 Noise-Cancelling Wireless headphones through their paces lately and they have been proving to be a superior implementation of the wireless headphone concept. Their clean Danish design and the caramel white color scheme of my review sample have been a welcome visual departure from the expected. Comfort level from repeated and extended usage has been stellar and sound quality is top-notch with a nicely balanced tuning that should appeal to a broad swath of headphone humanity.

The quality of the fixed-level noise-cancellation has been decent when performing the usual around the house activities and chores. I plan on taking the iO-6 with me to the upcoming CanJam NYC show so that I can properly evaluate the NC system’s usefulness on an airplane. The one thing I didn’t anticipate with the DALI iO-6 headphones is the degree to which I’d have to fight my wife over who gets to use them. She loves the way they both look and sound and is putting up a fuss at the prospect of being without them for the weekend I’m away. My better half has always appreciated good sound but has never cared for the look of any of the raft of headphones I’ve had come through my hands. She’d use one if she needed to, but she typically settles for whatever is handy. The DALI’s time in our house has changed her ambivalence in a big way!

Stay tuned to the Secrets website for a thorough review of these unique new headphones. Coming out after CanJam NYC.
