    Dissapointing

    • Written by from Shady Spring

    Great looking headphones. Great concept w Bluetooth and touch controls. I wanted to love them but inconsistency w Bluetooth connection and constant pausing and restarting music is very disappointing. Will be returning soon.

    Keep looking

    The sound for this price range is greatly lacking, the bluetooth connection is unreliable and the touch controls are overly sensitive. I'm going to buy a pair of Grado's RS1's a little pricier but far better sound. I think tech and cosmetic design came ahead of sound quality with this headphone.

    Terrible sound

    • Written by from Brooklyn

    I didn't even try out the Bluetooth. Plugged them in, played some various rock and pop tracks. Huge amount of high mid range tone is missing compared to other headphones. Embarrassing sound for $400. They went right back in the box.

    Touch controls malfunction. Mine play then pause, then play again. Sometimes stay paused til i hit play again. Ive reset (removed battery) several times. Really annoying for $400 headphones. What a shame.

    bad

    • Written by from New York

    I just bought them at the Apple store on the Upper West Side. I wore them out and got 10 blocks away and the bluetooth started to short out. The touch gestures weren't responding quickly either, 5-8 second delay. I turned around and exchanged them for the Bose noise canceling headphones.

    Parrot Zik Noise Canceling Bluetooth Stereo Headphone review

    • Written by from Mount Pleasant

    Using the best possible configuration for sound, iPod Touch with Wifi and Bluetooth off, connected to Zik by cable, and Zik with noise canceling ON: There is a huge peak around 5 to 6 khz, perhaps 10 to 15 db, which makes some percussion very irritating. The very emphasized bass doesn't help the treble peak sound any better. There also is a large emphasis around 15 to 17 khz, but that just adds to a "frying pan sizzle" effect with some instruments and isn't too serious. The built-in echo effect emphasizes echo in some songs making them sound like you're in a cavern. Lastly, even with Bluetooth off and no external interferences, the sound isn't smooth, as though there is some slight digital skipping in the sound, particularly with bass percussion.
