I hear people say it like the plural of "panda", and others as "panduss". Is there a correct way?

I think it is pronounced like the regular word. The second a is
schwa in both the singular and plural.

I think the OP is referring to the distinction between
"pandas" with an unvoiced "s", and "pandaz", as in the
plural of "panda".
