Back then, I was living on a student&#8217;s budget and couldn&#8217;t afford the best of the best. Still, I sought out headphones that not only I could afford but delivered a sound worthy of my discerning palette.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever I saw someone with headphones, I&#8217;d ask, &#8220;Can I try those?&#8221; hoping to find just the right pair.<\/p>\n<p>Fast-forward to now, and I receive a lot of headphones for review. Every time I open a pair, I think, &#8220;Please, blow me away.&#8221; A few have reached such highs (such as about anything from Beyerdynamic), but even those I wouldn&#8217;t place in the audiophile category.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/the-viral-wireless-audio-dongle-for-in-flight-entertainment-just-got-a-major-upgrade-and-its-legit\/\">The viral wireless audio dongle for in-flight entertainment just got a major upgrade &#8211; and it&#8217;s legit<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Recently, I received an offer to review a pair of headphones from a company I&#8217;d never heard of called Dali. The headphones in question? The&nbsp;<span class=\"c-commerceLink\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DHSY33DS?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-aps-asin=\"B0DHSY33DS\" data-aps-asc-tag=\"zd-buy-button-20\" data-aps-asc-subtag=\"__COM_CLICK_ID__|null|dtp\"><span>IO-8 over-ear headphones<\/span><!----><\/a><\/span>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Before I go any further, the IO-8s have a hefty price tag of $1,250 on Amazon. Because of that price, the IO-8s serve a rather niche audience, but they serve it so well. Why do I say that? Simple: the IO-8 headphones are the best pair I&#8217;ve ever placed over my ears.<\/p>\n<h2>My experience<\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s one particular song I like to pull out when I really need to check the sonic quality of headphones. That song is &#8220;Tricycle&#8221; by Flim &amp; The BBs. Back in the mid-nineties, I worked for an audio company that installed sound systems that reached six and seven figures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After we&#8217;d finish an installation job, the owner would come in with some serious technology and &#8220;noise&#8221; the system by introducing white and pink noise through the speakers. Once they had everything dialed in, the owner would play &#8220;Tricycle&#8221; to see how it sounded. If the system could play that song to his insane standards, he&#8217;d call the job done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/home-and-office\/home-entertainment\/5-easy-ways-to-instantly-improve-your-soundbars-audio-without-spending-a-dime\/\">5 easy ways to instantly improve your soundbar&#8217;s audio (without spending a dime)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t play &#8220;Tricycle&#8221; for every headphone review (because most headphones can&#8217;t do it justice); but when I saw the price tag for the IO-8 headphones, I knew playing this piece would immediately inform me how well they performed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large c-shortcodeImage-hasCaption\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\"><!----> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/ive-yet-to-find-a-pair-of-headphones-that-sound-better-than-these-but-theres-a-catch\/\" alt=\"The iO-8 Mode button.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" fetchpriority=\"low\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption>\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_caption g-inner-spacing-right-small g-color-black\" readability=\"6\">\n<div class=\"c-ShortcodeContent\" readability=\"32\">\n<p>The controls are easy to access.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Jack Wallen\/ZDNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This song is a splendid piece of music that really highlights a speaker&#8217;s soundstage and how well it can handle lows and highs. I&#8217;m here to tell you the IO-8s handled it to perfection. These are, without a doubt, the best-sounding wireless headphones I&#8217;ve ever experienced.<\/p>\n<p>Ever. Period.<\/p>\n<p>And this is without having to install an app and adjust the EQ curve to meet my discerning taste. I simply turned them on, paired them with my Pixel 9 Pro, and tapped play on Spotify. These babies are magic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!----><\/p>\n<p>The IO-8 headphones have two modes: bass and hi-fi. By default, they are set on hi-fi, which was stunning. The bass mode was a bit much for &#8220;Tricycle,&#8221; so I switched it up and tapped play on Devin Townsend&#8217;s &#8220;PowerNerd.&#8221; The bass mode on this song bumped up until it felt like a giant was dancing on my head.<\/p>\n<p>It was head-banging glory. I&#8217;m not going to go through a set list of songs I played for testing because I can just say one thing about them all: Brilliant!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/these-beyerdynamic-headphones-deliver-premium-and-rich-sound-while-undercutting-the-competition\/\">These Beyerdynamic headphones deliver premium and rich sound while undercutting the competition<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right. The IO-8 headphones played every song and genre like they were built specifically for that particular song. The only downside of this experience is that every other pair I test from this point on out will probably not measure up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is not hyperbole, as these headphones are the real deal.<\/p>\n<h2>ZDNET&#8217;s buying advice<\/h2>\n<p>The Dali IO-8 headphones are expensive, no doubt. But when you&#8217;re looking at headphones on this level, you should expect prices to soar into the four and five figures. And to be clear, the <span class=\"c-commerceLink\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/DALI-IO-8-Headphones-Bluetooth-Technology\/dp\/B0DHSY33DS?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-aps-asin=\"B0DHSY33DS\" data-aps-asc-tag=\"zd-buy-button-20\" data-aps-asc-subtag=\"__COM_CLICK_ID__|null|dtp\"><span>IO-8<\/span><!----><\/a><\/span> are Dali&#8217;s mid-range headphones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If spending over $1,250 on headphones is over your budget, look away now. If your taste in audio tends to rise above the average, and you&#8217;re willing to part ways with that much cash, you&#8217;d be hard-pressed to find a better pair of headphones at this price range.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In summary, if you can afford them, don&#8217;t hesitate to buy the IO-8s.
