Parrot Zik 2.0 - an updated version of Bluetooth-headset with touch panel

Parrot Zik 2.0 - Bluetooth-headset


For quite a long time we were able to enjoy listening to music with the help of Bluetooth-headset Parrot Zik, but not all users relished their large ear cups. But recently, the French company did work on the bugs and released an improved version of the headset solves the problem of excessive dimensions of the device. The new model was the obvious name Parrot Zik 2.0. Except for the name change and weight, now it is only 207 grams, which is 17% lighter than the previous revision accessory. And it’s not too bad, despite the fact that the appearance preserved the main features of the original, which is especially noticeable on a large trackpad. Last everything as listed on the right cup can recognize gestures, but this time made in soft-touch leather exterior. The left cup placed NFC-sensor and battery.

 With the help of industrial designer Philippe Starck succeeded slightly, but changes the look of an original accessory. Now ear cups have a more rounded shape, which is not particularly affected by the overall design of the device: soft padding thick headband complemented quite spacious ear pads. In addition to the original black and white option, add other colors: blue, mocha, orange and yellow.


 But Parrot Zik 2.0 received not only an updated design and a significant weight reduction. These headphones are equipped with 8 microphones that use active noise cancellation system that uses iOS- or Android-application to fine-tune the sound. In addition, noise reduction works when listening to music. When you activate the “Street”, you can enjoy your favorite tunes, even in very noisy urban environment. By the application of a companion, you will be able to create the EQ presets and filters, and then share them with friends or upload to the Web.

 As for the quality to play the music, for it cannot worry – the sound of the headset came out no worse than the original device that worked perfectly with the majority of mobile devices, especially with models from HTC. There are also power-saving settings for different situations. For example, if you turn on “Flight”, the developers promise up to 18 hours of music playback, but only when you connect an audio cable. In this case, the noise canceling function is to function as expected, but the other audio effects will have to be turned off. The “Eco” is designed to provide up to 7 hours of listening through the audio with the ability to activate the effect of “environment.” A “Normal” mode ensures 6 hours of work through the Bluetooth-connection.


 Headset Parrot Zik 2.0 goes on sale in November at an estimated cost of $ 399.
