Parrot Zik Gold Collection The most advanced wireless headphones
Brand-new styles Parrot has extended the Zik collection with three new models featuring unique colors and a stylish leather look. • Yellow Gold: matte white with a touch of gray and accented with a yellow-gold frame for an ultratrendy appearance. • Rose Gold: matte white with a touch of gray and accented with a coppery-hued frame for a bold statement. • Black Gold: the absolute elegance and simplicity of solid black. • And as always, Parrot Zik Classic: matte black with steel arms for a sleek classic look.
Zik, the Smartphone generation headset Zik has integrated a sensitive touch panel, giving hyper-intuitive access to the various features available.
Recreating the musical image For a brand new listening experience, Parrot has paid special attention to the audio output from Zik. The headphones provide you with powerful DSP (Digital Sound Processor) algorithms which reconstruct the sound, giving you the impression that the music is coming from in front of you; this is the ‘‘Parrot Concert Hall’’ effect. To configure the ‘‘Parrot Concert Hall’’ effect, just download the free ‘‘Parrot Audio Suite’’ app for iOS, Android, Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8. Lastly, to insulate you from external noise, Parrot has developed an ultra-high performance active noise cancellation system which eliminates up to 98% of ambient noise. While traditional ANC audio headphones only use two microphones to analyze ambient noises, Zik has 4 microphones located inside and outside each earpiece offering the user complete clarity while listening.
Sliding your finger vertically on the touch sensitive control panel adjusts the volume of your music or the caller’s voice, and moving your finger horizontally plays the next track or returns to the previous one. Zik also has a unique head detection sensor: simply remove your headphones to pause your music. The Bluetooth connection is then automatically reconfigured so that your Smartphone operates independently again. For optimum listening comfort while on the phone, Zik is equipped with two technologies for pinpointing the sound of your voice. Combined with the use of a double microphone, the bone detection sensor detects and analyzes the vibrations of the jaw in order to detect only your words and remove any background noise.

TUNED BY LOU REED
At Parrot we’ve developed new headphones using groundbreaking technology to create a truly immersive sound. The Zik are designed around a powerful processor that spatializes sound and recreates the acoustics of a concert hall. A few months ago, I asked Lou Reed for his opinion. He told me that the headphones were well tuned for classical music but not for rock. And he told me he could help. So on September 30th, 2013, I travelled to his studio in New York; it would be the last time I would see him. Working alongside his experienced sound engineer as well as Parrot Zik’s acoustic designers, Lou Reed used his personal mastering studio to program the Zik as if he were adjusting the balance for one of his own performances. You can now experience the extraordinary results by using a special control on the Parrot Audio Suite app for iPhone® or Android™. Thank you Lou. Henri Seydoux, CEO of Parrot
