Parrot has teamed up with top French product designer Philippe Starck to create a headphone like nothing else before. The Parrot ZIK combines the elegant production of Starck with the reliable and high quality performance of Parrot. Being a Bluetooth wireless headphone, the ZIK will pair to your iOS or Android smartphones. To take it even further, Parrot has developed an app made especially for these headphones called the Parrot Audio Suite which is free! Through the app you will be able to toggle noise cancelling, customize the sound signature with a 7-band EQ, check battery level and update any system firmware.
What sets this pair of headphones apart from the competition is the touch-sensitive panel which allows the user to swipe their finger up, down, and side to side on the earpad to play, skip tracks, and much more. In order to pause the music, simply remove the headphone from your ears and the music will pause.
The audio output of the ZIKs are fine-tuned to give you the best sound staging possible. Utilizing DSP (Digital Sound Processor) technology, these headphones reconstruct the sound which gives the impression that the music is coming from right in front of you. This allows the music to have a live performance type feel and will truly make you hear the music just as the artist intended. You can adjust the Concert hall effect to be more or less present through the Parrot Audio Suite app which is free through the iTunes app store or the android market place.
The Parrot Zik headphones offer excellent sound for wireless Bluetooth earphones, and have a slick, eye-catching design, a relatively comfortable fit, and a wealth of features...

A nifty pair of headphones - not the most comfortable for long use
Bought these for use at work - where constant interruptions make the pause when you take them of or pull them around your neck was the big selling point for me. The sound quality is wonderful, controls are extremely sensitive and I find myself pausing or stopping play when adjusting the headphones. Only major gripe is lack of padding - I was hoping for a pair of headphones with all day comfort - these last maybe 45 minutes to an hour before I have to readjust due to pain - usually making me accidentally pausing or stopping play.
Plus side - amazing features and design
Downside - small extremely thin padding
