Wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation: Cambridge Audio Melomania M100

The Cambridge Audio Melomania M100 represent the latest generation of wireless in-ear headphones from the renowned British audio company. Designed by hi-fi engineers for music lovers, the M100 pack an impressive array of features and technologies into a compact, comfortable, and stylish form factor.

Sound Quality

At the heart of the Melomania M100 are two generous 10mm drivers with recycled neodymium magnets. They deliver powerful yet controlled sound with immersive detail across all music genres. The earbuds use Class AB amplification, the same type found in Cambridge Audio’s award-winning hi-fi amplifiers, to provide an authentic, high-quality listening experience even on the go.

The M100 support the latest aptX Lossless audio codec, allowing you to enjoy CD-quality sound up to 24-bit/96kHz from compatible devices with no compression whatsoever. They also feature aptX Adaptive which automatically adjusts the bit rate to maintain smooth, uninterrupted sound in busy environments.

Customization

Although the M100 have been tuned to deliver Cambridge Audio’s signature sound right out of the box, you can easily customize the EQ to your preferences using the new Melomania app. A 7-band graphic equalizer lets you create your own profiles, and there are also 6 optimized presets for different music genres and spoken content.

Active Noise Cancellation

The Melomania M100 are Cambridge Audio’s first earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). They use a hybrid adaptive system with feedforward and feedback mics to constantly monitor and counter background noise. With three ANC modes to choose from, you can select the ideal level of isolation for your environment.

When you need to hear your surroundings, simply activate Transparency mode. This uses the external mics to let outside sound in so you can tune into conversations and announcements without removing the earbuds or pausing your audio.

Battery Life

Never worry about running out of battery with the Melomania M100. The earbuds themselves provide an impressive 10 hours of continuous playback with ANC enabled. The compact charging case holds an additional 23 hours, for a total of 33 hours on the go. If you turn ANC off, you can extend this to a maximum of 52 hours - 16 for the earbuds and 36 for the case. And if you’re in a rush, a 10-minute charge will give you 1.5 hours of listening.

Comfort and Convenience

To ensure a perfect fit for all ears, the M100 come with 5 pairs of ear tips - 3 sizes in silicone and 2 in memory foam. Experiment to find the combination that gives you the best seal, sound, and long-term comfort.

The earbuds have an IPX4 water resistance rating to withstand sweat and rain. They support Bluetooth 5.3 for fast, stable and efficient wireless connectivity. Convenient features like wear detection, touch controls, voice assistant support and a low-latency gaming mode round out the package.

What the press says

Aesthetically, the Melomania M100 are understated, classic, and rather discreet. Not too bulky, they are above all comfortable and lightweight to wear. Each earbud weighs 6.5 grams.

Le boîtier de rangement et de charge de forme ovale est quant à lui un peu plus encombrant que celui qui accompagne certains autres modèles du marché. Il présente des dimensions de 8 x 4,5 cm pour une épaisseur de 2,5 cm environ.
