Cambridge Audio Melomania 1

Great battery life ; Comfortable fit ; Poised, energetic sound

Grey finish is a bit austere ; Touch controls take some getting used to

While they're not the most attractive pair of in-ears, the Melomania 1 boast better battery life than Apple's AirPods, and are far less expensive than Sennheiser's Momentum True Wireless. This puts them in the sweet spot for anyone looking for an...

Outstanding audio quality Good value for money Comfortable design

Control buttons can be annoying to use No noise cancellation

The Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 wireless earbuds simply blew us away, with a sound performance to rival even the best over-ear headphones. Cheaper than the Apple AirPods, they’re a fantastic option for anyone who wants audiophile sound quality without...

Relatively accurate sound signature with rich bass depth and bright highs. Water-resistant design. Strong battery life. Reasonably priced.

Not fully waterproof. Not for those seeking powerful bass depth.

If you're looking for booming bass, we like the $180 JayBird Vista and the $170 JBL UA True Wireless Flash, which also happen to have gym-friendly designs. Our favorite earphones in the $100 to $200 price range are RHA's $170 TrueConnect, which deliver...

Outstanding battery life from a tiny, sturdy case ; Easy, enjoyable sound ; Flawless wireless performance

Terrible microphones ; Not a particularly ergonomic design ; Micro USB charging

Cambridge Audio’s first true wireless earbuds, the Melomania 1, cost $129.95 while boasting nine hours of battery life in the buds plus an incredible 36 additional hours in their diminutive AirPods-like case. I’ve been testing the Melomania for a...

Detailed and insightful sound ; Reliable Bluetooth ; Long battery life

Some may find the fit difficult ; Not the most stylish design

The Cambridge Audio Melomania 1s deliver one of the most detailed sound performances we’ve heard at this price point. Just make sure they fit well

Super value for money ; Small portable design is convenient ; Great sound ; Really long battery life - and a case that delivers four extra charges

No wireless for charging case ; No auto play/pause ear detection ; Getting the right fit is a bit fiddly ; Stone finish isn't the most attractive colour

It's rare to find such a complete pair of earphones at such a low price point, especially in the wire-free category. With Cambridge Audio's first untethered in-ears you get superb sound, convenience, reliability and stupid long battery life, for less...

Thoughtful design ; Amazing Battery Life ; Easy start-up ; Great sound ; Fairly easy to live with ; Better at taking calls ; Better fitting for my puny ears

Better at taking calls ; Better fitting for my puny ears

At $129 these in-ears are not cheap. However, Cambridge has once again brought the goods in terms of amazing sound, and the seemingly endless battery life makes them great for commuting, and weekend getaways. I’d say that if calling isn’t essential,...

Very good passive noise isolation.;Easy-to-use physical controls.;Well-built and durable design.

Earplug-like fit won’t be comfortable for everyone.;Battery life lower than advertised.;Treble lacking detail.

Solidly made yet lightweight ; Impressive battery life ; Open, detailed and exciting sound ; Sweat-proof

Could be more dynamic ; Grey finish is drab ; ‘Melomania’ sounds like a skin condition

Light yet robust, affordable yet great-sounding, epic battery life. We’re in.
