Artist audio presets
With Parrot Zik, you can customise audio playback. Parrot offers artists a chance to create and share their own audio Presets. Users can thus download these Presets and experience music the way the artists intended.
Producer Mode
You can use Producer Mode to create your own Audio Presets and share them with the Parrot Zik community. Recreate unique acoustics using the 5-band parametric Parrot Pro equalizer combined with sound spatialisation.
Smart Audio Tuning
The Parrot Zik application uses tags in your music files and selects the best presets automatically.
Graphic equalizer
Use the graphic equalizer to intuitively and quickly adjust your headset's audio playback. Simply point at the musical style best adapted to your taste.
Parrot "Concert Hall Effect"
Parrot Zik 2.0 and 3 have powerful processors capable of recreating the acoustics of various concert halls. Use the Parrot Zik application to choose a venue and achieve a lounge or concert hall effect.
World map of noise (New!)
Get an instant view of the noisiest places on the planet.
The world map of noise is produced thanks to the participation of consenting Parrot Zik 2.0 & 3 owners.*
*Parrot does not save any vocal data, only the ambient noise level (dB) is shared, provided the user consents.
Automatic adaptive noise reduction
Multiple integrated microphones sense exterior noise and cancel it out using the anti-noise waves the headphones send back. This helps to achieve
optimum sound quality all the time. Several options are available in the application, to ensure unique listening comfort.
- Noise reduction: for insulation from exterior noise during telephone conversations and while listening to music
- Street mode: to enjoy the sensation of not wearing a headset, to remain alert in the street. Exterior sound is reinjected into the earbuds.

Ratings and Reviews
Headphones are incredible, app is a disaster
Like the other reviews stated, the iPhone app seems clunky and pointless, much like their Windows 10 app (which is branded as an “audio suite” — still worthless, whatever they’re calling it). The headphones are the best I’ve ever purchased despite a pretty consistent concern that I’m never totally utilizing their full functionality.
Main app is great. Watch app almost pointless
I’ll start with the Watch app first. While the Watch app itself is great, mostly reflecting the phone version, it’s pointless if nearly every time I use it, the app asks me to launch the app on the phone. It is launched on the phone (as in, it’s not inactive), but the Watch app seems to want me to have the phone app version at the same time. What’s the point, then? If I could use the phone app, I would. The only reason I would want to use the Watch app is because the phone is not nearby or I don’t want to interrupt a video.
I love the main app. It really makes the Parrot Zik headphones stand above from all the other headphones out there with its different controls and noise cancellation options. It’s mostly easy to use, although it’d be nice if there was some kind of built in tutorial that walks the user through the basics.
Forces you to make an account - BOOO!!!
When I first got this app, I could create as many sound profiles as I wanted and have them stored on my device, and it was great, and fun. I could totally change the sound coming from my headphones based on the type of music I was listening to. Now, you are not allowed to create any personalized sound profiles AT ALL unless you create an account. They claim this is because they store all profiles on their server - so forget about adding new sound profiles to your app unless you have an account and internet connection. It’s unnecessary and I used to be able to store them all on my device. I have no interest in adding another account to my already bloated login list, no interest in memorizing another password, no interest in sharing my sound profiles with the community, and now very little interest in this app. The requirement to create an account to add profiles ruined this app for me.
