The Zik generally performs well, but various kinks make it fall short of the $400 asking price.

There’s no doubt that the Ziks are the best Bluetooth headphones you can buy right now.

If you're looking for a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones that sound really good, have an impressive design, and have some really nifty features (the touch controls in particular) that will make your friends envious, it's easy to make a case for buying these.

The big question, of course, is whether they're worth $400. For most people they won't be. But if you're looking for a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones that sound really good, have an impressive design, and have some really nifty features ... it's easy to make a case for buying these.

The Parrot Zik by Starck headphones are a beautiful marriage of design, wireless convenience and impressive audio quality.

It’s hard to say exactly who would buy a pair of these. With some features targeted directly at mobile users and others squarely at audiophiles, its place in the market is hard to decipher. Still, you could do a lot worse for the price.

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.

Parrot’s Zik headphones aren’t cheap, but they are positively futuristic, and all the technology crammed into these cans make them far more interesting than your average pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones.

The Parrot Zik headphones are the best wireless Bluetooth headphones your money can buy, combining a great looking design with some excellent features like intuitive, touch sensitive controls. However, the high price tag doesn't match the audio quality.

The Parrot Ziks are certainly impressive and undoubtedly the best Bluetooth headphones we've seen yet. Along with the reliable wireless performance, the touch operation is superb, the cans are comfortable and the audio is excellent.

The system needs more refining to elevate it from cool gadget to game-changer. For those after statement style and sound that will blow your mind, though, these ZIKs are worth every penny.
