Cambridge Audio Melomania M100 Earbuds - in Ear True Wireless Headphones with Active Noise Cancelling, Hi-Fi Sound, Bluetooth, Featuring Combined 52 Hour Battery Life with Charging Case - Black

These are incredible earbuds! The sound quality is exactly what I would expect from a company known for producing audiophile-grade products. No coloration that I can make out, and I'm able to hear details in music that can get buried when listening on something intended for the average consumer. The adaptive environment features are great, too. I like that you have the option to enable noise cancellation to drown out everything around you so all you have left is what's playing back into your ears, or you can enable transparency mode which picks up the outside through its microphones so you can hold conversations while still listening to music, a podcast, or what have you. The only issue I've experienced so far, which I won't remove any stars for because I don't believe the product was intended for this, was that when I was playing along to music on my drum set in noise cancellation mode, the microphones would pick up my drums during quieter sections of music and distort the audio until the music got louder again. I was able to work around this by switching to the normal mode. Battery life seems good on my first day I've used them for extended periods, but my right bud seems to be to drain 2% faster than the left. I'm going to keep monitoring this to see if it has something to do with charging, but it's not currently complicating anything. Fit-wise, they're great! I'm using the small premium buds and I haven't had any issues with them coming out of my ears as other reviewers have mentioned. For the price-point, I'm very impressed with these buds and would highly recommend them to anyone that appreciates fidelity in their music.

I have lots of Cambridge Audio gear now (851N network streamer/DAC, CXN v2 network streamer/DAC, multiple pairs of wireless headphones, etc.) and it's all TOTALLY awesome. Better sound than anything else I've tried and the price is always competitive. Highly recommend these headphones in particular. They pair really easily and the app/settings are really robust. And most importantly, the sound stage is beautiful. My favorite feature is the sound isolation; I fly a lot and these allow me to completely separate myself from the chaos around me. Super nice.

I have tried SOOOOO many different earbuds. I have almost given up. My pixel buds worked the best with my Google phones. I love music but have to also have earbuds that work...you know, take calls where the other individual can actually understand me, do teams for work, and actually sound good when playing music. A bonus was to switch seamlessly from my phone to surface without missing a beat.My pixel buds work...they just do not sound that great with music ...not bad just not great. I have tried all the usual suspects and just about given up..until I saw these. Knowing Cambridge from years ago I said ...let's try. I am Absolutely so happy I did. Music sounds rich and detailed. Bass is good, not overpowering but tight and punchy. Highs were detailed but not overly bright. Very happy with sound. Connectivity was good not great. Few hiccups but pixel 8pro synced right up. Had a few drop outs but forgot I was in developer mode in my phone and turned off a few features....much much more stable. My surface synched up without an issue. And switched from phone and back to PC.. again...not perfect but not bad either. Now phone calls. Mics are on the bottom of the buds....didn't realize that. If you line them up correctly....calls are crystal clear. Even in high wind and NYC midtown traffic. At first I buried the mic in my ear not realizing how they face and no one heard anything ....once I realized why, all good......solid 8of 10 product that shows ld; improve with updates. I'm keeping them.

I have owned Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 and 1+ earbuds. Both were easy to use, comfortable enough to wear, had excellent battery life, and most importantly delivered clear and balanced sound. Alas, both reached a point where they would no longer hold a charge and needed to be replaced.I went straight for the M100 earbuds from Cambridge. Right out of the box, the easily connected to my tablet and phone via bluetooth. The sound is ‘audiophile quality.’Sadly, the positives end there. The ‘Melomania Connect’ app has been a nightmare. It refused to find my earbuds, which meant I had no control over such things as noise cancelling, equalization, updating firmware. It took countless attempts to install and uninstall, restore factory defaults and so on before I was finally able to get the app on my phone to find the earbuds. [My tablet never did].The app prompted me to update the firmware; so I did.Having done the update, the earbuds now lose the bluetooth connection to my devices at random… sometimes I can get no more than 15 or 20 seconds of audio before the source freezes up. Given that, these have become useless.Extremely frustrating and disappointing. I can’t possibly recommend the M100 model. Reading the reviews here, it’s evident these earbuds work for many users… but many others wind up like me with about $175 worth of useless electronics on their hands and in search of a better option.
