I hope you remember the recent unboxing of these wonderful helmets, in case you don't, since we are not going to go into details, I recommend that you go through the unboxing of the Parrot Zik 2.0 and later you come back here.
For those of you who remember them or those who have just seen it, you will know that we had many expectations placed on these helmets, I took my time to give them a good intensive use since it was not a product that I wanted to analyze lightly, but today I bring you good news, the Parrot Zik 2.0 are simply sublime.
I have been testing them for about two almost three weeks and I have not been able to get any fault with them, and I have tried, really seeing that they were sold for € 350 I thought «I am not going to make it easy for them, such an expensive product should only be bought if we are really going to be satisfied ", and so it has been, this has been one of the best sound experiences that I have been able to enjoy, but hey, I am going to leave you with the video analysis which is long (I couldn't afford to leave some detail without counting) and later I will deepen written:
Hello again 😀 I hope that the 20 minutes of video have made you as bearable as they were for me when recording them, having said that, let's move on to what matters, the helmets.

Battery
After using them for… let's say two and a half weeks, I only put them to charge once, and on no occasion was it because they did not work or the battery had run out, but because I wanted to know how long they took to charge and they were around 30% , without a doubt they charge fast and the battery lasts a lot, and I say a lot because an average of 7/8 hours of music playback taking into account all the functions it performs in turn, is something to say the least impressive.
Integrated
Undoubtedly it is a very elegant design, I personally love the simplicity of the design and the robustness that it presents at the same time, a combination worthy of admiration with a very successful selection of materials, not to mention that under that simple aesthetic facade it hides a true technological beast, eight microphones, jaw vibration and movement sensors, two high-quality speakers and a very well used battery under a wonderfully curious magnetic cover.
We can choose from a selection of six colors, it all depends on taste.
Day to day
In my case the use was: I am going to leave the house, I pick them up, turn them on and put them on my neck while I leave the house, once I start to go down I place them well on my head and simply touch the right earphone As if by magic the music on my mobile is already playing, and I have not even had to take it out of my pocket, if I like the song I leave it and adjust the volume by sliding my finger over that same earphone, otherwise with the same gesture but with a different orientation I move between my music library. By the time I left the block I was already listening to my favorite music with a smile on my face and without hearing behind my doors closing, people talking or any other annoying sound, I had never liked listening to music so much.
Then comes the moment when you meet someone or enter a store, simplicity does not leave you, you just have to lower your helmets around your neck so that the music pauses instantly and automatically, once you have spoken / listened to it. you should, you put them back in your head and the music continues, all automatically managed by the Parrot Zik 2.0, Going outside is a pleasure with these helmets.
And if whatever they call you, forget about taking your smartphone out of your pocket, your Parrot Zik 2.0 will read aloud who is calling you, later we can make a gesture based on whether we want to accept or reject the call, it's that simple . And if we accept it, we will have a conversation practically identical to a natural one, the only difference is that you will not see the other person in front of you.
Compatibility
If they say that nothing and nobody is perfect, perhaps the Parrot Zik 2.0 are proof that this is not true, we could think that helmets of this caliber are reserved for last generation devices for which we will have to pay double the price of this product, nothing further, The Parrot Zik 2.0 are the all-rounder of helmets.
What do we have of a moderately current smartphone / PC? We enjoy its Bluetooth 3.0 connection to play music completely wirelessly and with more than enough range for it (I have never had quality problems for moving away from the device, or being in another room). If it is a better smartphone since we can use the official app to configure the aspects we want.
That we do not have a fairly current smartphone / PC? No problem, we take out the 3mm jack cable and, although we see our mobility affected, we can enjoy this fantastic product without fear.
Sound quality
Here I am not going to explain much, it is very easy to describe it, the sound is simply brutal, the sound quality is wonderful, the bass is the best I have heard in my entire life from headphones, the isolation is tremendous, both for the headphones themselves and for the configurable active noise cancellation that avoids contaminating our musical experience. And not to mention that if we are very personal, we can use an equalizer and spatialization to adapt the audio to our most demanding tastes.
Portability
If we want to take them, we will only need to take the product itself, zero cables, zero devices, we put the thieves on and go our way, in case you run out of battery in these helmets for whatever reason, they use a connector to charge called OTG , the typical MicroUSB connector so widespread among today's Android smartphones, Android smartphones and many more products, so charging them anywhere is never going to be a problem.

If you are looking for helmets, congratulations, you have found them. If you are not looking for helmets, think about it, it is a product that although it seems silly will change small details of your daily life, without a doubt for the better. And best of all, it's a product of brilliant quality, the calls work like a charm, the music is a rediscovered pleasure, and the design is flawless, I recommend them 100%, I give them 5 stars because I cannot give them 10.
It is false that they do not have buts if they have a few buts or cons
1. As the months go by, the separator between the pad and the fabric inside is unsewn (and I say it this way in general because it has happened to such an immensity of users that I am already praying that it does not happen to me
2. It can also happen that an apparent short is caused on one of the sides, which causes sound and interference, this has happened to me then it has left and then it has returned, I have left it discharged and without battery at night see if this matter happens tomorrow.
3- if you measure 1,80 or more you probably have more skull and you will be just like me in the last mark of the headband at the top and even then just
