A shocker for some (not us), the Zik 3 is perched at the top of Parrot's portfolio with a $399.99 MSRP – replacing the Zik 2, which is now at a more forgiving $199.99 cost. Certainly, many people will be turned away outright by this expensive investment...

Overall, the Parrot Zik 3.0 headphones feel and sound luxurious, but then so do Parrot's 2.0 cans. Bar the new auto-adaptive ANC mode of the 3.0's, neither did I notice any appreciable difference in noise canceling quality between the two models. But agai...
