## What is Parrot Zik for iPad?

Use the Parrot Zik application to easily modify the configuration and settings of your Parrot Zik headset (2.0 and 3).

(Not compatible with the first-generation Parrot Zik)

Use your Parrot Zik application to customise all the features of your headset:
- Adjustment of noise reduction
- Presence sensor around the neck
- Automatic Bluetooth connection 
- Maximum down-time before automatic shut-out
- Choice of language for vocal announcement of caller
- Colour of the application theme
- Travel mode (to disable Bluetooth waves and save on the battery)

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.

## Key features

- Adjust noise reduction levels
- Customize audio playback with artist presets
- Create and share custom sound profiles
- Explore a world map of noise levels
- Automatic adaptive noise cancellation
- Street mode for ambient awareness

### 5/5 — Good app

*2018-06-09, version 1.6.0*

Good app for zik 2.0

### 1/5 — Equalizer doesn’t work

*2018-05-21*

I have the Zik app for my iPhone and have no problems with it, it works fine. On my iPad the equalizer does not work at all. No matter what I set it to my headphones sound the same. There is a noticeable difference when I adjust the equalizer when I’m using my phone, but it doesn’t do a thing on my iPad.

### 1/5 — Does not recognize the headset since IOS 11 installed

*2017-09-23, version 1.6.0*

The device can connect to Bluetooth, but the application shows no device connected.  It is not possible to manage the headset anymore. I’m stocked with this street mode!

I uninstalled the application and reinstalled it, but it did not solve the problem...  same problem on both iPad and iPhone.

I hope Parrot will release an update of the application very shortly.

### 5/5 — Love parrot

*2016-07-04, version 1.4*

Thanks for getting an iPad app out! Now I don't have to drain my phone battery if I want to listen for an 8 hour study session. And all the features are there, so nothing's compromised. Great!
