Parrot Zik 2.0 Headphone review: It's not just the sound, its the app that make them sensational » EFTM

Based on sound alone it would be hard for the average person to pick one high-end set of headphones from another, which is why design plays such an important role – along with additional features, in differentiating them at the retail level to make the decision slightly easier. The Parrot Zik 2.0 have something that […]

Parrot, the company long-known for their line of remote controlled drones, let us borrow a set of their Zik 2.0 headphones for review, and I am very glad they did.

Parrot Zik 2.0: Australian Hands-On, Pricing And Availability

Parrot’s original Philippe Stark-designed Zik headphones were an impressive exercise in design meeting high technology — powerful noise cancelling and all-out wireless sound quality wrapped in plush full-grain leather. They were a little bulky, though — and that’s just one of the aspects that the new Zik 2.0 wants to...

Parrot Zik 2.0 Review

Refreshing, it’s the word that best describes the simple, straightforward, and premium nature of the Parrot Zik 2.0’s design. It really doesn’t look like anything else we’ve seen, so it’s pretty astounding that they’re able to come to the table with something so unique looking. Whereas other headphones try to be over stylized, the Parrot Zik 2.0 goes for the minimalist approach.
