auto-pauses every time you remove the headphones
It is far too bass heavy

the touch-sensitive controls are a little too prone to mistaken inputs
a mediocre-at-best integrated mic and a lot of latency

it can be a bit too granular
There s only one button on the Zik 2
s no battery indicator apart from inside the app
Apple is no longer the market leader
the touchpad isn t quite as large or accurate as
Sennheiser HD1 Wireless Some things in this world just work

The Parrot Zik is a masterfully designed, wireless headphone pair, but you'll need to seriously tweak its customizable EQ to get the audio performance up to the same level.

Review: Parrot Zik Noise Cancelling Headphones

I'm skeptical of any audio product with a fancy design. In my experience, the more trendy or attractive a product is, the worse the performance. Maybe this prejudice comes from a place of subconscious competition, given that I'm so trendy and attractive.So I approached the Parrot Zik with caution, not least because I found out that "Design by Starck" was not a misspelling and had nothing to do with Ned or even Robb (What about Tony? - Ed.).But turns out, zee Ziks are zuper.
