Parrot Zik 2.0 review: still the world's most advanced headphones

The Parrot Zik 2.0 is almost perfect with its reduced weight, refined design and new app features, but its call quality could use work.

Impressive noise reduction ; Intuitive gesture-based control ; Great audio playback quality

Touchpad not as sensitive as before ; Charging takes 2.5 hours ; Still not ideal for voice calls

Parrot is so close to making the perfect Bluetooth headphones. Well, they pretty much are if you ignore the voice-calling feature and just use them for music. Put it this way: The original Zik remained the most advanced Bluetooth headphones for two...

Parrot Zik 2.0 Black

Parrot redesigned the headphone from "the ground up to address users' feedback," and the most immediate difference you'll notice is a weight loss. Thanks to a move from iron to aluminum and some other design alterations, the headphone is now about 17...

The Parrot Zik 2.0 Bluetooth headphone is lighter and more comfortable than the original Zik, it has a slick, eye-catching design and excellent build quality, plus a wealth of features, including wireless audio streaming, effective noise-cancellation,...

Battery life is mediocre; despite its high price, only a basic cloth carrying case is included; companion app is a bit buggy.

Sporting impressive design and solid sound, Parrot's feature-packed and pricey Zik 2.0 wireless headphones will wow some users but intimidate others.

Review: Zik 2.0 Parrot

The sensor-packed Parrot Zik 2.0 headphones are a tinkerer's dream. These Bluetooth noise-cancelling cans let you sculpt sounds and control your device.

Sensor magic! Music pauses when you put them around your neck and starts back up when you put them on your ears. Tap and swipe the earcup to navigate your jams. Excellent noise-cancellation and open-back simulation modes. Mobile app lets you adjust...

Need to be connected via Bluetooth to get the best audio. It’s easy to accidentally skip tracks or pause the music when adjusting the fit. Your ears feel the pressure during long listening sessions

Parrot Zik 2.0 Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphones Review

The Parrot Zik has been touted as the most technologically-advanced wireless headphones on the market. A recent redesign brings many improvements to an already impressive piece of hardware.

Excellent sound quality over Bluetooth ; User-friendly customization of effects ; Good call quality ; Outstanding customer service ; More comfortable than previous version

Lackluster sound quality in passive wired mode ; Competitive products are more affordable ; Difficult to wear for long periods without eventual discomfort ; Saving user presets requires Internet access and creating an account ; Impossible to create or...

Parrot Zik 2.0 HEADPHONES

The Parrot Zik 2.0 are an above-average, feature-packed set of headphones. The design is stylish and comfortable, but the unique touch controls can get a little frustrating. By default, the audio reproduction is also only satisfactory, though this can...

Great sturdy and durable design. ; Feature packed. ; Great customization options thanks to The Parrot Zik app.

Sensitive touch controls. ; Poor treble audio reproduction

Parrot Zik 2.0 Headphone Review: Unique Design – Fantastic Sound

We've been doing more high end headphone reviews here on Techaeris lately, and this time around Parrot sent us their offering to consider. While we don't call ourselves high end audiophile connoisseurs and would never make the claim of knowing all...

The Parrot Zik 2.0 headphones are going to cost set you back, clocking in at $399.99 these are an investment. While the price tag is high, they’re so worth it if you’re an avid music listener. Comfortable, well designed, minimal, elegant, superior...

Parrot Zik 2.0 Headphone Review: Unique Design - Fantastic Sound

Parrot has created some of the most elegant and premium headphones on the market today see what we think of them in our Parrot Zik 2.0 headphone review.

Design, Sound, Features, Software everything is in sync and works well.

The only real thing that I didn't like about these headphones is the power button location, I found myself occasionally pressing it when removing the headphones, not a deal breaker.

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...

Quality looking design that's simple ; Impressively lightweight and comfortable ; Touch controls ; Incredible noise cancelling feature ; Audio quaity is superb, can be enhanced with app

Weak battery life ; No audio notifications through headphones

Review: Parrot Zik 2.0 Bluetooth headphones

We managed to get our hands on the Zik 2.0 Bluetooth headphones on launch back in November and were impressed with what we heard. But we've now donned them on car trips, international flights and long days in the office and consider ourselves a little...

The good news here is the level of noise cancellation can be adjusted through the companion Zik 2.0 app. When opening it up, the home screen will show you the battery life of your Zik 2.0s, but a swipe to the right brings up the noise control...

Parrot Zik 2.0 Headphones Review

Parrot's done it again. Somehow they've once more straddled the line between gorgeous design and innovative technology, with little to no fuss. For $399, you get a headphone that's even lighter, slimmer and prettier than the original. The headphones...

Slimmed-down, lighter design ; Powerful active noise-cancellation ; Easy to use, highly improved app ; Great audio quality

Short battery life ; Have to use app to access bulk of the features

The Parrot Zik 2.0 Bluetooth headphones combine head-turning design, improved audio quality, active noise-cancellation and an innovative revamped app.
