The Pamu Fit New Edition are a welcome upgrade to the previous version we did last year offering better sound than before with a stand out design moving away from the typical style of earbuds we see.
At first look you might think these may not fit, they are on the larger size but these fit better than one would expect and they are very secure and can be worn in the gym or for jogging etc.
There is no app here however out of the box they sound great being honest and a perfect tone of deep bass with it so for bass lovers these should be on your radar.
The touch controls work really well with a large area to work with so getting the commands works perfectly every time and saves you activating the wrong function this I like and how all earbuds should be.
You can skip and reverse play and pause tracks change the volume and have access to your voice assistant and of course call management.
Also on board is ANC modes and game control giving you a complete set of features and all you need for your earbuds on the go.
With their 13mm drivers they pack a punch and the ANC is decent too up to 20bd highs lows and mids all fine no tinny sound or lag latency noted and after going through my test run of music etc I am happy with how these sound and the price point here and can recommend them easily.
You also have good battery life here and 6 hours on one charge and up to 18 in total so overall a really good product here for the money.

Skullcandy iQ app

Conclusion
Skullcandy have done it again with a winning pair of cans and I certainly welcome the new addition, they have been on a roll of late with their collabs too and if you want headphones that you own and you take control of with excellent ANC sound and bass with sensory adjustment these are what you need right now.
The ANCwear sports headphones (V7) are a product that we are now seeing more of on the shelf of late and give you a different kind of technology to get your ears around it is not new by any means but the thing to take not of here is the sound is getting better as these do not go into your ears but rest outside them so to speak. I have test many pairs of these over the last year and they are getting better as we go on as expected you would think..These use air- conduction not bone conduction but a similar approach.
These have a simple three button set up and all works really well and simple to use there is no app here to content with so it is connect and play and job done so that also means no EQ to personalise things but these are full of bass but this might not be for everyone but for me a win.
In the video below of course we go through how to use these so you do not have to and it is really simple, the buttons are nicely raised and work well with two on the the top of the earpiece and one on the side offering all the functions you need including voice assistant access skip and reverse tracks higher and lower volume and also call control in which the calls are decent enough.
With these type of headphones you are always aware of your surrounding which is a good thing for those who jog or cycle, for those who commute too but there is some sound leakage on maxxed out volume like all these headphones. With Bluetooth 5.3 on board there was no connection issues and was stable during my testing and not forgetting the IpP67 rating these are really ideal for the outdoors and sports enthusiasts.
The sound is quite good and also a deep bass here with this headset at times there was some distortion maxxed out on volume in certain genres but overall delivered a decent audio experience for what they are and remember they are not the same as earbuds or headphones and we are a while yet before we get near the good quality you would be use to on such but decent enough for me here and done a good good and again it has to be said better than expected and for the cost here to you must take that into account and easy to recommend for such at their cost compared to others in the market.
