parrot zik

Last time we gave you guys a quick tour of the Parrot Zik and some of its nice set of features that made it a standout among the other premium headphones in the market. Just a refresher, the Zik is a geeked-out wireless headset designed by world-renowned industrial engineer Philippe Starck and manufactured by Parrot. The Parrot Zik can be used wired (through audio jack) or wirelessly (via Bluetooth). Furthermore, the Zik is imbued with touch controls on the right ear cup which allows users to increase/decrease the volume, change tracks and Play/Pause the music, as well as Vibration-tracking sensor which automatically pauses the music when it detects that it’s removed from the listener’s ears. No shortage of microphones In addition to fancy controls, the Parrot Zik also has a set of microphones, a total of five to be exact, scattered around its body. Of these five mics, only one can pick up the user’s voice, while the other four is assigned to pick up external noises which allow the Zik’s built-in noise cancellation mechanism to emit the same sound waves to suppress unwanted noise. As if that wasn’t enough, Parrot also threw a Jawbone sensor in the mix which allows the designated microphone to zero in on a user’s voice when the Zik is used as a communication device.
