Philippe Starck’s Zikmu in Colour speakers from Parrot
Zikmu by Philippe Starck are truly amazing wireless speakers.
Looks and performance seem to be trying to out do each other. I am still not sure which is the stronger.
Let’s start with the aesthetics….It’s Phillippe Starck, for goodness sake!
Typically minimalistic style in a variety of colours - arctic white, classic black, pearl grey & sorbet lime. A beautiful and a unique object, something that is functional and yet very nice to look at. And No, It most certainly doesn’t resemble a Vuvuzela…..
Performance wise, state-of-the-art technology has been employed to compliment the appearance. Software updates have been made available and Zikmu will continue to offer free updates to really enhance the power of these speakers.
The speakers give a 360° immersive sound, a perfect and crystal clear sound image, thanks to the NXT technology and a very specific control of all electrodynamic elements via a system of DSP processing and amplifiers.
You can listen to your music from today’s digital devices:
- iPod®/iPhone™ via a dedicated docking station
- PC, with audio streaming via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
- Mac computers and Bluetooth mobile phones, with audio streaming via Bluetooth® Stereo (A2DP)
Furthermore, a RCA line-in enables Parrot Zikmu to be connected to TV screen for a Home Cinema sound effect.
These highly desireable and ultra performing wireless stereo speakers by Starck, that do not look like Vuvuzela’s, are available now at £1.000 inc. VAT.
