Parrot Zik

If you're looking for the coolest, most beautiful and downright desirable headphones on the planet then look no further. Dr Dre can keep his cans, the Parrot Zik is where it's at. From the creative mind of architect and designer Philippe Starck, the Ziks are Bluetooth headphones with a touch interface and noise cancelling but going through the list of features hardly does them justice. As beautiful a pair of headphones as you've ever seen, the Ziks respond to a caress – the entire right cup being a touch-sensitive interface. Swipe to adjust the volume or skip tracks, tap to play or pause. It's as intuitive as it sounds and looks decidedly cool as well. In addition, the headphones automatically pause when you remove them from your head, then resume when you replace them – handy for quick coffee orders.

Throw in iOS and Android aps to control the headphones' more tweakable functions and you have a beautiful, comfortable highly functional set of cans that will make you the envy of every commuter in town. More information
