Gadget Focus: Parrot Zik Wireless Headphones

0

The world’s most advanced headset, the Zik is a headset for the smartphone generation. Listening to music and being insulated from external noise are features more and more Smartphone owners are looking for…

Parrot has designed the perfect solution, introducing wireless headphones that act as an extension to your Smartphone.

Like your Smartphone, Zik has integrated a sensitive touch panel, giving hyper-intuitive access to the various features available. Sliding your finger vertically on the touch-sensitive control panel adjusts the volume of your music or the callers 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 heaphones to pause your music. The Bluetooth connection is then automatically reconfigured so that your Smartphone operates independently again. Buy here!

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.
