Parrot Zik by Philippe Starck Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones (Electronics)

Customer Review

I'll go into my review less on sound quality, on many others have written here, but take a different approach. What these headphones apart from many others is indeed the Noice-canceling function (NC). I would therefore only buy this thing, if I want to listen to music in quite a noisy environment or just want to hide the ambient noise. That is probably true on not very many living rooms, but probably very often traveling. That was my motive to try out some models with NC: to make a long plane or train travel and thereby hide the roar of engines or other noise sounded very attractive.

I've tried to these headphones, the PSB M4U 2, the BOSE QC15 and the qc20i.

The Parrot's just really nice, also I find the sound fine, but will unpack immediately clear that he is quite large and heavy, making it unsuitable for me to travel. On the plane you would not even put him in the pocket of the back of the front seat, would you want to take it off. At least not in Economy, nor in most seats of business class that I know. That means you must have reassigned him either give or in the overhead compartment, where I would have concerns because: it only comes in a textile storage bag. If there slipped another piece of luggage, you risk damaging this very expensive but good piece. He also takes a lot of space in your hand luggage.

I have these headphones are now sent back. Not really a light heart, but at home I do not need NC, so I will not pay extra for it, and for traveling, there are significantly smaller devices.
