The "general consensus" is not important/relevant. What is very more important/relevant is that the universe AND your subconscious mind is telling you that you must buying a pair of iO-12.

Today I don't have my iO-12 so I'm using my 7 years old B&W P7 Wireless (P7W) --- I never selling this headphone because I think is a classic and the sound, even when not reference, is still very good. By the way, my pair is looking like the first day I receiving, with beautiful design and...

Here is a track that is very good for testing correct acoustic guitar reproduction, and sibilance too. The iO-12 is reproducing the acoustic guitar masterfully including some instances of guitar harmonics sounds (the Solitaire T is very good here but just NOT so good like the Dalis). And about...

One more iO-12 review from one week ago: https://www.stereonet.com/au/reviews/dali-io-12-noise-cancelling-over-ear-headphones-review

Now a little more serious reply from my reply of 2 days ago. First, I don't know that you don't have your Solitaire T (ST) anymore! Second, maybe you don't following this thread always, but if you go back in this thread, you will seeing that I purchasing the ST again in February 2024 (after...

Almost by accident last night I find this iO-12 Amazon.com comment/review (verified purchase) from 27th March 2024: "There’s not much that I can say that hasn’t already been said about these headphones. I’d like to call myself an audiophile as I have many plug-in, audiophile headphones...

Nothing better in marketing like increasing the price of a product for generating more interest (the Solitaire T from 1300 EUR to 1400 EUR in Europe and from 1600 USD to 1700 USD in USA). :)

New iO-12 review: https://www.zdnet.com/article/these-wireless-headphones-with-smc-drivers-have-set-a-new-standard-for-me/

One and half months ago I writing the post below: Maybe you can please sending me a private message and telling me how I can obtaining a better version of Blackstar with better dynamic range (I'm agree with you that Blackstar isn't have good DR like so many of Bowie's albums after the 1908s...

Absolutely true. 'Wild Like The Wind' is really, REALLY a wonderful and unique version of the song by Bowie, and definitely one of his best songs of all time. By the way, even when 'Station to Station' is not my favourite album (I love DB and have all his albums), the song "Station to Station'...

Yes! Yes! This is a classic better version of the original. Yes! Yes! --------------- Also, for me: "Fields Of Gold" - Eva Cassidy (Sting) "I Can't Explain" - David Bowie (The Who) --- Bowie's version is superb, very sexy and so different from The Who's.

Is always fascinating for me seeing people's different tastes in music, or different preferences for different versions of the same piece of music. For me the original version by Simon and Garfunkel is very more better -- "Less is more" is my immediate thinking (but is true too that I think the...

I love John Lennon's music (with and without The Beatles), an incredibly talented musician. Probably my favourite 2 songs are: 'Gimme Some Truth' and 'Watching The Wheels' ('Working Class Hero' and 'God' are excellent too). :)

You don't need a DAC if you're using a direct connection between the USB-C cable and your MBP. If you're using the same master of a track/album, your (human) ears will not hearing a real difference between a lossless CD-quality or hi-res file (via USB-C cable) and a 192/256/320kbps BT file. In...

Today is 6 months since I owning the iO-12. This is a BT/ANC headphone that people with experience with (very) good wired-only headphones and speakers must trying one day -- I'm sure many of this people will having a very positive surprise. Dali doing a remarkable job in the research and...
