Parrot Zik Sport

Hands-on: Parrot's noise-cancelling headphones are also fitness trackers

Price is a factor Parrot has neglected to talk about so far, and if they're as expensive as the over-ears, then that could be a real turn-off. I hope Parrot gets closer to the £130-£140 mark, but I fear the Zik Sport are likely to cost much more when...

Parrot Zik review

Despite the attractive design, the Zik headphones are pretty heavy. They're not entirely uncomfortable to wear, but you definitely know when you have them on. Further, we found the head-band tended to dig into the top of our head after about 15-20...

The Parrot Zik headphones are the best wireless Bluetooth headphones your money can buy, combining a great looking design with some excellent features like intuitive, touch sensitive controls. However, the high price tag doesn't match the audio...

Review: Parrot Zik Yellow Gold bluetooth headphones

During the course of the year, I get to try and test various headphones and headsets. Some of them come as partners to devices like smartphones and PCs, others are standalone wired on-hear or earbud type headphones as well as wireless bluetooth...

In terms of versatility, the Parrot Zik has all the features that suit me as a wired/bluetooth headphone. It works great paired to mobile devices as well as connected to music players, video players and PCs.

Parrot Zik review

Parrot's latest is as slick, stylish – and expensive – as ever

impressive sound quality, noise-cancellation option, useful iOS app

expensive, battery life could be better

The price and noise-cancellation features obviously mean that the Zik headphones are primarily aimed at well-heeled executives who travel a lot. You’ll certainly enjoy the sound quality as you recline in the first-class cabin – though the battery may...
