#### *Cutting the Cord* isn't simply about cancelling cable TV or Ma Bell telephone land lines anymore. Wires are a proverbial ball and chain to the current active lifestyle trend.

#### The latest to get snipped is the wireless smart phone headphone cord.

#### Apple first did away with the 3.5 millimeter audio headphone jack on its iPhone 7, combining wired sound output and power supply from the single multi-pin Lighting connection. Ditto for Android devices with the recent adoption of USB-C charge ports. An added benefit: higher end smart phones earning IP68 water submersion resistance.

#### 2015 saw the first trickle of consumer available Bluetooth wireless connecting earbud headphones with fairly hefty price tags approaching $300.00 and struggling on playback per charge time.

#### Electronics start-up, Padmate, offers consumers a more affordable wireless earbud headphone alternative.

#### When [**Padmate**](https://padmate-tech.com/pages/pamu?ref=roadblazing.com) recently sent an audition pair of their soon the be launched 3rd line, [**PaMu Scroll** **Bluetooth earbuds**](https://padmate-tech.com/pages/pamu?ref=roadblazing.com), **Roadblazing.com** was all ears.
