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
They include a cheap cloth carrying case. Also
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
Songs with heavy bass are muddy. Too much DSP for audiophile snobs. Noisecanceling generates some hiss. Phone calls sound soso

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 not...

More cushion on the underside of the headband would've been nice, Poor audio quality without batteries, Can't disable/enable features without the app, Non-collapsible design, Doesn't come with a hard carrying case, Gold/White model easily turns to Gold/G
