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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Devialet at 4.2 against Parrot Zik's 2.0. Devialet also leads on ratings volume (3.2K vs 44) and review sentiment (38% vs 19%). Parrot Zik's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
