Padmate S30 Review | Best Budget Bone Conduction Headphones?

[@_-Z-]

Although there are some sacrifices, these bone conduction headphones have some good things going for it considering the budget price. Thinks for another great one, Andy! 👍

[@AndysTechTone]

No worries man 👍

The head is larger than average since it houses a lot of gray matter. Keep going on with your excellent and well researched reviews!

Bulking up his body makes it barely noticeable. I’ll follow in his steps 😂

[@cheekbones2]

I've appreciated so many of your comparisons Andy. Lack of on-board volume or track controls are deal breakers for me... H15 (never seen a review..) sounds much better... for $10 more. Splurge for $60 and consider G7 (Ebay)

[@AndysTechTone]

thanks 😊

This is fundamentally better than earbuds in nearly every way I can imagine. Sound's relatively good given the BONE CONDUCTION competition, but I don't know how different they sound from earbuds though. 2 big points that are important to me is my phone is only Bluetooth 5.0 so this is the perfect connection and USB-C charging. My big gripe watching this video is that AAC is the only alternative to SBC... Wow, Haylou Purfree has USB-C and aptX! Wow, forget this then, I'm gettin aptX.

[@AndysTechTone]

You will find no benefit of using aptX over AAC with these headphones in my opinion. That said, the Haylou Purfree has a better sound but not because of aptX...

Great review!! have you ever used the the Aftershokz Openmove, would be great to get a comparison

[@AndysTechTone]

That comparison makes a lot of sense but I’ve never tried the Openmove unfortunately.

Just purchased oladance which is true open earbuds with amazing sound technology

[@AndysTechTone]

And I just did a review of the OWS last week too…

[@oobahy]

Suggestion: buy a nicer looking bike helmet :) love your reviews thanks.

[@AndysTechTone]

Would it make my reviews any better? By the way I got a new helmet but only for aero reasons...

1:09 I hope you don't find this offensive, but what's your head size? Just circumference around the area of headphones? Also what's the length of the headphones? I also have a larger than average head--in fact, most hats don't fit me, at least not in a good way--so I'm worried if these will fit.

[@AndysTechTone]

My head size is large about 60cm

[@crypto66]

@@AndysTechTone Mine's about the same; maybe these will fit me. Thanks a lot! Greqt video, btw.

[@AndysTechTone]

@@crypto66 Will be tight enough but that's not a bad thing I reckon

[@carlodangcalan4624]

Nice review...

[@AndysTechTone]

Thanks Carlo

[@eneguelipusapid5845]

do you have a tips for those of use that have a small head? it seems the product isn't designed to fit a small head

[@AndysTechTone]

The headband is quite flexible but I’m not 100% sure how it would fit on a small head either.

[@pedroclaro7822]

From a certain angle he looks like Ryan goslin, doesn’t he? 6:05

[@AndysTechTone]

From the back with a hat on for sure 😁
