myFirst CareBuds Safe Volume Kids EarBuds Review

The MyFirst CareBuds Safe Volume Kids EarBuds are an affordable pair of earbuds for kids who want such which is many these days or headphones.

Coming in an attractive package they set the tone straight away at with what to expect, inside you get your usual manuals and extras which is for me great, you get a lanyard strap and loop for the earbuds to pop into so they do not get lost nor the case which is brilliant as adults are bad enough loosing an earbud or two or the case, you will not have to worry here with your child’s getting lost.

The earbuds themselves are a familiar stem shape with a two toned colour which is nice and matching accessorizes as mentioned above and there is simple controls for you child to use.

The MyFirst CareBuds have several controls but not all as expected from regular earbuds we go through these in the video review below. There is no companion app so it is an easy set-up.

You can manage calls skip and reverse tracks and play an pause and that is it this is all done by simple taps you can also change the transparency mode however this automatically adjusts when your child starts walking.

From a sound perspective the sound is fine for a child and do not expect what you would find from regular grown ups earbuds they are also safe on your child’s ears which is vital and your child will have no issue with how they sound unless more advanced but they are kids earbuds they keep your child safe and take into account the transparency mode.

Tech Review – Pamu Fit ANC earbuds from Padmate

PAMU is a brand we have been testing earbuds with some time now and have been solid with their products over the years and they where on of the first to bring more specs and value plus an app for you money some time ago and since then that trend has continued since with other brands.

The latest buds we have in we have been testing some weeks ahead which gave us time to see what is on offer this time around and as you can see it is a nice looking new pair of earbuds with a nice small case and one of the smallest I have held in some time and the overall package looks great but what have we got inside and what do we not get. well there is a that goes on for ever to begin with which spec junkies like.

The case is small but the earbuds no so.. The earbuds will be not be for everyone due to their fixed set-up with built in wings and tips but the design is cool overall, I love the colours and the glossy white finish they have with the black tip and wing which is of course rubber and these are comfortable however it took a bit to get them to settle in my ears and here is where they will not suit all ears especially those with small ones and the company does say it will fit up to 70% of users so my assumption would be correct here.

Once I got use to them and the fit they offer a good seal from the outside world which is a good start and when there is no app access this time around I got a bit concerned but it is PAMU we are dealing with and the sound was good from there on. Bassy and deep is the tone you will find overall and by no means bright either, highs lows and mids are fine calls are also fine and no distortion or tinnyness on maxed out volume which is how I always use my earbuds and headphones. ANC of course is present and decent it must be said and they score it at around 20db which is fine for most.

The earbuds are also catered for the gamers too which many manufacturers are now accommodating on their earbuds and headphones which is a great move again and again it worked well during my testing. The controls are also great and the earbuds are designed in such a way your finger will setting nicely on the earbud itself when you go to change something and I had no issues here either.

There is no auto play or pause on these no wireless charging and no app but everything else is present so for those who are not fussy it should be a pair of earbuds to look at which look great and come in a super cool charging case.
