"The Parrot Zik headphones fulfill every requirement you might expect \u2014 great audio, noise-cancelation and Bluetooth-enabled. But the high-tech gadgetry built in makes for some pretty cool extras. \nThe built-in accelerometer can sense when you remove the headphones and put them back on.

Now if someone talks to you while you're wearing headphones, you don't miss a beat. \nThe controls are really amazing.

Swipe your finger from front to back to change the song or view the next video \u2014 or whatever you're watching on your smartphone. Bluetooth in the left ear cup lets you connect to Parrot's iOS or Android app. \nNoise canceling is optional with these headphones \u2014 turn the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) on or off.
