Pamu Quiet Mini โ€“ Affordable headphones with active noise cancellation

You may not have heard of the Pamu brand before. Itโ€™s a new company that focuses on affordable performance headphones with good design for the global market. And the first thing that attracts you to the Pamu Quiet Mini is its design.

Pamu Quiet Mini Headphones Review: Design

To be honest, with so many brands focused on bringing alternatives toย Airpodsย Apple, it's hard to differentiate between their products and Apple's own earbuds. So we're glad to have found Pamu, a brand that isn't simply copying Apple's design when it comes to wireless earbuds.

So, letโ€™s start with its design. Looking at the Pamu Quiet, itโ€™s pretty clear that the line focuses on delivering good active noise-cancelling performance with an identifiable design.

The charging case is a bit larger than other earbuds on the market, but thankfully, it has good build quality with excellent weight control. In fact, the charging case isnโ€™t as fancy as the one we got for the standard version of the Pamu Quiet, but surprisingly, the mini has retained almost all the essential features of the standard version of the Quiet and even upgraded it with Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and separate earbud connection.

Coming back to the charging case, as soon as we take out the buds, we can see that the mini also comes with an in-ear design, much like its competitors in the market. Each bud weighs only about 5g, which is barely noticeable when you wear them, even for a long period of time. In addition to the standard size, Pamu offers 2 more sizes for the ear tips. So, once you choose the right tip size, the earbuds will fit perfectly in your ears and ensure passive noise blocking. Another good detail is that the earbuds support IPX4 waterproofing, the same as the AirPods Pro. So, using them for a sweaty workout or on a rainy day is quite safe.

As for sound quality, the Quiet Mini delivers excellent sound output. Each mini earbud features a 10mm dynamic unit driver for enhanced bass depth and uses the Agile Pen Titanium composite diaphragm for good ductility. And in theory, the titanium metal is also capable of producing better sound quality at higher frequencies.

Pamu Quiet Mini Headphones Review: Sound Quality and Performance

Well, the bass is the most impressive sounding part of the Quiet Mini, which is some of the richest and deepest bass weโ€™ve ever heard from a wireless earbud. However, the high frequencies are a bit weaker than their performance at the low end. The buds still surprised us with good dynamic response and clear gradation across a wide frequency range. So overall, it achieves a bright and balanced vibe with good presentation of instruments, but it may not be as enjoyable when you focus on the vocals, especially when it comes to a high-pitched female voice. However, we felt that the rich bass exceeded our expectations and it also set the bar for the high frequencies. Overall, I still quite like the sound quality of the Quiet Mini.

Another feature that impressed us was the noise cancellation. To be honest, we donโ€™t know how cheap wireless earbuds can have such good noise cancellation. Previously, good active noise cancellation was only available on high-end earbuds that cost more than $150. However, the Pamu Quiet Mini brings good noise cancellation for just around $60-70, which is amazing. Pamu claims that the mini reduces noise by up to 40dB, which is almost the best figure on paper for most ANC wireless earbuds. In real-world testing, the Quiet Mini was able to handle a wide range of frequencies in most noisy scenarios. Upon comparison, the noise-free sounds processed by the Quiet Mini are very close to what we got from the AirPods Pro. Realizing that the AirPods Pro were much more expensive than the Quiet Mini,

Meanwhile, the Pamu Quiet Mini supports Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, which allows the earbuds to deliver sounds with extremely low latency. In actual use, the sound latency was barely noticeable to us. Additionally, Pamu offers a Game Mode option in its official app, which allows gamers to enjoy immersive gaming sound with a stable connection and extremely low latency. However, in Game Mode, the sound quality may suffer.

The official app is very easy to operate with a very simple interface. You can customize all button operations in the app and get more information about the earbuds.

Another useful feature is the Dual Master technology. Each bud on the Quiet Mini has independent connectivity and can be used separately, meaning each earbud can be connected to two different devices for dual-channel streaming. So if youโ€™ve ever had trouble switching sounds between two devices, this will definitely save you a lot of hassle, as it did for me.

Pamu Quiet Mini Earbuds Review: Battery Life

Compared to theย Quiet standard version, the Mini also brings better battery performance. The Mini's playback time can last for about 5 hours. And the charging case provides 3 additional full charges for the earbuds. In addition to wired charging, the case also supports Qi-certified wireless charging, which is not common for budget wireless earbuds.

So thatโ€™s all about the latest Pamu Quiet Mini earbuds. The Quiet Mini is an impressive option with excellent value, especially considering the price and the performance it offers.
