Philippe Starck Designed Parrot Zik Sport Headphones Announced

parrot zik sport_4[CES 2015] A few years ago, Parrot and renowned designed Philippe Starck collaborated and created a unique-looking pair of headphones called the Zik. Well it looks like both the company and the designer are back again collaborating on a new pair of headphones for CES 2015 in the form of the Parrot Zik Sport.

As you can see in the image above, Starck’s design style is pretty obvious in the headphone’s design and it is pretty unique as far as headphones are concerned. It features an in-ear design and even comes with pads around the headband to help increase the comfort levels of the user wearing them, in case they are needed for prolonged periods of usage.

There will be Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity so the wearer does not need to worry about wires, and will also come with adaptive noise cancellation that will help to block out some of the noise in the surrounding area. However if you plan to use it outside like in the streets, there is a street mode that allows the wearer to hear their surroundings, such as oncoming cars, traffic, and so on.

These headphones aren’t just designed for music or movies, and thanks to an accompanying app and its built-in intra-auricular biometric sensors, the headphones will be able to measure the heart rate of the user and provide various biometric data for the user, and will also be able to guide them in optimizing their performance.

The Parrot Zik Sport headphones will be made available later this year, although pricing has yet to be confirmed.
