What a sweet set of cans.
Thanks to the kind folks at @Parrot, the big show is giving away a $400 pair of Zik 2.0 Bluetooth headphones.
The right earpad is touch sensitive. Swipe up to turn up the volume, swipe down to lower it. Left? Previous track. Right? Next track. It’s amazing. There’s even a sensor that knows when you remove the headphones so it can automagically pause what you’re listening to. Put the headphones back on? Pick up where you left off.
Some other cool features:
Street Mode drowns out the hum of the world but lets in sounds like car horn or a moving company guy shouting “Hey, watch out for that falling piano!”
It speaks who’s calling you.
The app has a highly customizable EQ system
How it handles phone calls routed through your smartphone is pretty smart, too:
Hold your finger on the touch sensitive panel to activate voice recognition on your smartphone.
Tap once the touch sensitive panel to answer and end a call.
Hold your finger for 2 seconds on the touch sensitive panel to reject a call.
Swipe your finger upwards or downwards to increase or decrease the volume.
We’re raffling off these $400 headphones on the November 4th show!
There’s only one way you can win: join The World’s Worst Intern Program.
It’s the worst because you have to pay us to work on the show and you don’t actually do anything to contribute to its production. Just like a real intern. And for every $1 you donate to support an episode, we put a virtual raffle ticket in with your name on it. The more you support the show, the more likely you are to win!
