ZIKMU that we featured earlier were great speakers that were designed by Parrot. What we learned was the fact that many musicians and technical guys have been using these speakers because of their superior sound quality and awesome clarity of sound. They are expected to cost 1,200 Euros and are some of the best we have ever come across.
They have been designed by Philippe Starck and I would say, this is one of his more impressive designs unlike the Hooo!!! and Haaa!!! lamps which are ridiculously priced and named. You could use these speakers with your iPhone and you would never regret ever having used this as it is so cool.

When you first take a look at the Zikmu, it is hard to think of anything technical about this speaker. Sleek and divinely beautiful for a speaker, it becomes hard to turn our eyes away from its polished layer to actually consider its functionality.
Designed by Philippe Starck for Parrot, the Zikmu speakers connect with each other via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and provide you with 360 degree NXT surround sound. It can even be connected to your system or you can connect phones and iPods using the dock on top of the speakers to play your music. The towering design of the Zikmu speakers places it at the ideal position to listen to some good music when you are sitting down. Parrot CEO Henri Seydoux and Starck insist that the design may go out of style but the amazing sounds quality will drive our attention to it.
