The editors didn't like
Highly sculpted frequency response not for everyone. Headband is slightly uncomfortable. Expensive. Significant sound leakage
While the Ziks are expensive

Some small glitches in their operation mar their otherwise impressive audio quality
Must use app to enable/disable active noise canceling
NFC didn't work with certain phones
Disappointing cellphone audio

The Parrot Zik is a masterfully designed, wireless headphone pair, but you'll need to seriously tweak its customizable EQ to get the audio performance up to the same level....
At $400 the Ziks have a lot of strong competition. From a pure noise-cancelling standpoint, they don't hold a candle to the $100 cheaper Bose QC15s. From a sound quality standpoint, the opposite is true. The QC15s sound fine , but given the choice I'd re...
The Parrot Zik is a stunningly beautiful headphone, and a remarkably ambitious engineering project. When I first heard of them, I expected a clusterfail of epic proportion. I'm pleased to report that I found them the best Bluetooth wireless headphone I've...

Despite some issues, Parrot can make a case for its Ziks being the Porsche of Bluetooth headphones.
