Parrot's Zik headphones could just be the best looking headphones we've ever laid eyes on. Designed by Phillipe Starck, they're all clean lines, brushed metal and a soft leather-like material - but there's also a lot of tech underneath all those good looks. We got hands on with them at their recent press launch to give them a go - read on for why you might just want these to be your next pair of cans.

I always thought headphones was for listening to music,Thats what they was made for.So how the hell does sex come into it?? Fooking Stupid!!

Sexy? I have a saying about people walking around with big headphones. The bigger the headphone the bigger the dope.

OMG £349! think i'll stick with my JVC marshmallow earphones @ £14.99 there blooming brilliant! sound quality is fab, way better than £80 Bose earphones anyway! i remember massive headphones being the fashion back in the 80s, i was just a kid then and i never liked the look of them, now i'm in my 30s i like them even less! £349, thanks but no thanks.

I may have lost something in the plot here.....but surely the bottom line is the sound.!!!!!...VERITY....GET A BLOODY GRIP. it is all about the sound girl!!!!!!!!!!! not what it looks like..I see, like so much crap on here,the fashion gurus, stylists, or other job wanabee low life, not content with scraping and parasitically living off the talents of others,are now all of a sudden hi tech experts..MSN.......GIVE IT A REST.

I love the way MSN lets you comment on ' another way of wasting your time and money' or 'you must buy this or your life is not complete' but when it comes to your taxes paying for Abu qatarda's
latest bid to avoid justice they seem to think you dont have the intelegance to warrent a voice.

why don't these ad sites just fook off-it's getting past a joke now-which is all they are.
there must be SOME brown envelopes coming through the msn post now-they're everywhere you go-the ads i mean.
msn-no more now than a chat room to talk about nothing.
oh, sorry it is, it's a site for nothing more than a platform for prostitutes and porn sites to advertise on.agedminger.com etc.

Got to admit, those headphones really do arouse me to the point of wanting intercourse with them.
Seriouly though, what a load of tripe!

forgive my spelling and punctuation. had a bad education. thought we might have learnt how to spend money on education now, rather than comercial platforms for big companies. if a soft drinks company is worth billions it's charging to much for its product.

why am i not allowed to coment on anything about the olyimpics? the torch is going through ? Cornwall is this going to be a continual thing due to politics?

who is botherd what they look like i love my sennheiser mm550 yes the fit round my ears keeps them warm in the winter and cancel out the noise around me so i dont have to have the so loud.
The inear things are so unhygienic no ear infection for me. oh and as for the £350 price tag its way over the top nothing new here that has not been round for over 3 years but its nice to have the choice

I't's about the tech spec of the headphones and I've seen nothing here that warrants the price tag, just look like another designer set, give me sound quality any time
19/05/2012 23:55
Im totally deaf,are you taking the ****?

To some of the negative commenter's on here:
I also used to be non-believer, I used to think the £9.99 pair of earphones from ASDA and the £400-£500 set are all the same, because how much better can they be right? WRONG
Until you have tried the difference of a quality pair in this range you have absolutely no idea what your missing.
If, like me, you spend a lot of time travelling on long journeys in trains then quality does matter, i spend 5 hours a day commuting 5 days a week so i would much rather listen to my music and actually hear the quality of it than listen to the distorted version being pumped to me giving me a sore head over countless hours courtesy of ASDA.
It's a taste for quality thing just the same as everything in life, expensive phone or £9.99 basic phone? ,cheap laptop or expensive one? Ford or BMW, Clothes, where you live, the list goes on.
In terms of high quality Headphones these are actually very reasonably priced.
Check out some of the BOSSE range,
THAT WILL REALLY SHOCK YOU.

21/05/2012 16:01

19/05/2012 20:17
Looks Lush...nnow the price to look forward to.
