Padmate PaMu Slide Mini is an updated version of the Padmate PaMu Slide TWS headphones, which have earned a lot of praise for their sound quality and negative reviews due to the large case. The new version is designed to eliminate all shortcomings and take a pedestal in its class of TWS headphones.
The PaMu Slide Minis come in a relatively small charging case and are quite small themselves. There is a brand logo on the case.
On the outside of the case there are 4 LEDs that indicate the battery charge level in the case. Each LED corresponds to 25 percent charge.
On the opposite side of the case is a USB-C charging port. The case also supports QI wireless charging.
The diagrams below show the operating functions of the touch surface on each earbud.
As with all new headphones, the first thing I did was fully charge them via the USB-C port on the case. Since the case supports wireless charging, this is also an option. When you open the case and remove the headphones, they automatically enter pairing mode. Pairing was quick and easy, and they were ready to play music and, of course, make phone calls. The headphones fit well and are very comfortable to wear.
I listened to several genres as usual, including Contemporary Jazz, Easy Listening, Classical, Gospel, etc., and I liked the sound of all genres. It is very important to choose the correct size of ear pads when using these headphones. After this, the sound will be quite good and balanced for low, mid and high frequencies. These headphones appear to have a volume limiter that not only protects your eardrums but also ensures there is no real perceptible distortion in any frequency range.
Since the main problem with most headphones has always been call quality, I tested them extensively for phone calling functionality and was pleasantly surprised at how well they worked for both parties on a call.
The Padmate PaMu Slide Mini Earbuds are good for daily use and have a pleasant sound. They are well designed and inexpensive, and they stay in my ears well even with heavy movements. They seem to have a volume limiter that makes them pleasant to listen to even at my iPhone’s highest volumes. They are easy to pair and very comfortable to wear for long listening sessions. The wireless charging case is a really nice feature. In my opinion they are worth the purchase and I give them two thumbs up!
