Remember, a year ago we
presented to you the Zik helmet from Parrot which we even hadthe opportunity
to test.
With its very particular design signed Starck, the helmet was able to seduce us
particularly thanks to its ambient noise attenuation function. wireless
and still connected to the iPhone, the headset returns witha whole
new version, even more elegant and efficient:
Even if on the sound side, the Zik was particularly pleasant, it is necessary
admit that its weak point is comfort. Indeed, and we noted it
In our test, the headset is quite heavy and can weigh down over time.In
this version two, Parrot with the help of Philippe Starck, managed to rework
the helmet while keeping its identity. Result, theheadphones lose
in thickness and the whole thing is 55 grams lighter(17 %).
The functions remain the same and thewe find for example the pavement
tactileallowing you to switch from one song to another or adjust the
volume with your fingertip. This time, Parrot has opted for a coating while
leather. For greater ease, NFC is available even if, for
iPhone owners this does not matter much since the NFC of
the iPhone is reserved for Apple Pay…
In addition to this, the ZIk 2 arrives with8 microphonespour
an even more efficient ambient noise reduction function. The model
original, already very efficient, only had 5.
Thanks to the iPhone app,Parrot hopes to further refine its function
mitigationand now offers a Street mode to adjust what
we want to hear or not from the world around us. Practical not to be
completely cut off from the world at all times.
More efficient and more comfortable, there is no doubt that the Zik 2
should find its audience when it comes outat least
Novembernext. In addition, Parrot has provided a bit of color. Alone
default perhaps, the price which remains quite high since set at $399
