Parrot Ziks the Bluetooth lead
Zik Parrot by Starck is packed
with functions that make it the most advanced wireless headphones to enter the
market. These include Intuitive Touch Panel, Active Noise Cancellation, Audio
streaming over Bluetooth, Concert Hall Effect, Smart hands free and Unique Apps
for controlling.
The Zik is the headset for the smartphone generation
with specific engineering development to get a crystal clear hands-free
conversation. Users can play music or receive calls wirelessly over Bluetooth,
the headphone is compatible with all Bluetooth compatible devices (iPhone,
iPad, tablets, smartphones, PC, Mac, etc.) with NFC technology for instant
pairing.
The ZIK is equipped with two directional microphones
(for high frequency) and an Osseous conductor sensor (for low frequency). The
headphone senses vibrations from the jawbone and merges it with voice signals
making hands free telephony quick and easy – just one short press of the
headset to accept the call and a longer press to refuse the call.
The intuitive touch panel directly on the headset
facilitates smooth and simple music control with a touch sensitive panel on the
right ear cup and Intuitive gesture detection. Users just brush their hands in
an upwards direction along the headset to turn the volume up or down to lower
it or from left or right to pass through songs – no more having to operate
these functions from a smartphone. With the Automatic Head Detection function,
users simply need to remove the headphone from their heads and place it around
their necks for the music to pause. If they do this while on a call, the call
will automatically switch to the phone.
Probably
one of the coolest features is the Active Noise Cancellation isolating the user
from external sound through use of four active microphones resulting in a 25
decibel (98%) reduction of external noise. This is achieved through highly
advanced technology that takes the noise signal from the outside world, records
and inverts it and then mixes it with the signal from the audio source - as a
result, the ambient noise from outside is affectively cancelled out.
The
Parrot audio engineering team has developed a sound effect called the Concert
Hall Effect (CHE) to make users feel as if the sound is coming from the front
as if they were located in a concert hall. Traditionally with a standard
headphone the right ear can only listen to sound from the right ear cup and the
left ear from the left ear cup – but with CHE the effect is completely
different bringing a more natural way of listening to listening, while reducing
tiredness.
