New wireless headphones from Dali include killer tech found on its high-end speakers

Dali's IO-12 headphones are the world's first with this key hi-fi feature

If you think headphones play second fiddle compared to 'proper' hi-fi products, then Dali has news for you. Its IO-12 headphones are the first to feature its patented Soft Magnetic Compound (SMC) technology which aims to reduce distortion. Which should help deliver hi-fi sound on the go.

SMC is usually found in Dali's high-end speakers, including its £70k flagship Kore, and its recently announced Epikore floorstanders. It reduces hysteresis (which can result in unwanted distortion) to help deliver a clearer sound.
