Zik, the Smartphone
generation headset

Zik has an integrated touch panel, giving
hyperintuitive 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. Moving your finger
horizontally plays the next track or returns to the
previous one. To answer a call tap once or press
and hold to reject.

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.

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 analyses the
vibrations of the jaw in order to detect only your
words and remove any background noise.

Recreating the musical
image

For a brand new listening experience, Parrot has
paid special attention to the audio output from Zik.
The headphones provide you with powerful
DSP (Digital Sound Processor) algorithms which
reconstruct the sound, giving you the impression
that the music is coming from in front of you; this is
the ‘‘Parrot Concert Hall’’ eect.
To configure the ‘‘Parrot Concert Hall’’ eect, just
download the free ‘‘Parrot Audio Suite’’ App for
iOS, Android, Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8.

Lastly, to insulate you from external noise, Parrot
has developed an ultra-high performance Active
Noise Cancellation system which eliminates up to
98% of ambient noise.
While traditional ANC audio headphones only use
two microphones to analyse ambient noise, Zik has
four microphones located inside and outside each
earpiece oering the user complete clarity whilst
listening.

TUNED BY LOU REED

At Parrot we’ve developed new headphones using
groundbreaking technology to create a truly immersive
sound. The Zik are designed around a powerful
processor that spatializes sound and recreates the
acoustics of a concert hall. A few months ago, I
asked Lou Reed for his opinion. He told me that the
headphones were well tuned for classical music but
not for rock. And he told me he could help. So on
September 30th, 2013, I travelled to his studio in
New York; it would be the last time I would see him.
Working alongside his experienced sound engineer
as well as Parrot Zik’s acoustic designers, Lou Reed
used his personal mastering studio to program the
Zik as if he were adjusting the balance for one of
his own performances. You can now experience the
extraordinary results by using a special control on the
Parrot Audio Suite app for iPhone® or Android
Thank you Lou.
