While I don't have high hopes for the SQ of these undoubtly sexy looking cans given their technology, I can't say I'm not looking forward to some impressions later in the year.

Sorry for the mobile link. I found this while at work.

Will have to compare it with the Senn MM550 or MM450, but the NFC implementation is cool.

So the NFC is to make the bluetooth pairing easier?

It looks like the Parrot Zik will be available in July for approx Y39,000 (USD$500 or thereabouts).

Mind you though, having heard them at the Tokyo Fujiya Spring/May Headphone Festival a few weeks back, their SQ was mediocre at best. Pairing with iPhones was also a problem - even the sales girls admitted that. Having said that, they had 2xZiks so possibly one was interfering with the other. I told them to switch one of them off and pairing was easier.

 

Aside form the SQ, isolation was semi-decent, and so is comfort. Could get hot during summer though. Naturally the coolest was the touch face on the right side cup (looks like wasn't designed for cack handers). Didn't get to try the bone conduction microphone for phone calls though.
