First impressions:
- Nice packaging
- Easy to setup
- Nice display
- Bigger than I had hoped
- USB charging and syncing seems clunky
I've been using the Parrot Zik headphones for a few weeks now and enjoying wireless connections, so the USB connector seemed odd to me. There are different design constraints of course. A watch need to be able to get wet. I would never wear my Zik headphones where they could get wet. The Basis has little metal contacts on the side so it can charge. The Zik has a micro-USB port so it can use the same cables as my Android devices. Making a waterproof mirco-USB cable could be a problem, so I can see why the Basis folks came up with their charging cradle.
Here's a shot of the cradle in use from their support site.
