    Great value for the money
    I was looking for over the ear replacements for my AirPods Pro’s, after a lot of research someone recommended these to me.For daily driver use, the P100 is a great choice. They aren’t too heavy on the head and they don’t squeeze the head too hard. They come with a nice hard side case, which is nice but could be a little bulky for travel. A slimmer travel option would be a nice addition even if purchased separately. Also included is 2 cables USB-C->USB-C and USB-C->3.5mm.The earcups, made from vegan leather, are pretty comfortable and easily replaceable. They can make my head a little sweaty if it’s a little warm out. I haven’t seen any different materials for these available yet, hoping that changes, either from Cambridge or 3rd party.The sound quality is enjoyable. The app has an adjustable EQ as well. It is a closer sound stage than I would like, but that comes with closed back earphones. I have a set of open back for special situations. I think the sound can be a little on the cooler side, but with some EQ adjustments you can get it where you want it. They are not bass heavy, but I find the bass pretty neutral overall which I prefer.The app has all the settings available including a few layers of ANC and transparency available. There are tactile buttons on the headset as well which I like a lot.Batteries are user serviceable and affordable. I really like this being an advertised feature as well. The battery life is insane. I am very impressed by the life and still have yet to charge mine.The packaging is a simple pull strip and sleeve design. No plastic or twist ties. In fact I reuse the cardboard sleeves for the cables and I love that. There is a lot of environmentally conscious decisions made in the design of these. If that’s important to you, look no further.While I have the ANC can be a little weird I have only noticed that using that 3.5mm cable. It may be a setting on my part, but could also be fixed through updates. So I’m not overly worried about it. There is a card included listing button press control. I need use it more to figure out the best way to use the buttons. Some in app button customizations would be a nice touch as well.For the money I feel these punch a little above their class and don’t get recommended as much as other more popular ANC headphones.

    Great headphones for the price
    I already have the Cambridge Audio Melomania M100 Earbuds – and I love them. While they are lacking a little bit of bass, they sound very analytical and precise. The P100 over-ear headphones, on the other hand, are real bass monsters. They have a very full and deep, sometimes almost disturbing bass. The rest of the sound spectrum is also very good, clear mids, with full voices, and an extended upper spectrum with a very clean resolution. Spatial distribution of instruments is also pretty good, even though other headphones do a bit better in this discipline.Now when comparing the Melomania P100 with some other headphones I own, their limitations become apparent. The noise cancelling is good, but the Apple AirPods Max are way superior (that being said, the comparison is perhaps a bit unfair, as the AirPods sell for twice the price, and are recognized to have probably the best noise cancelling on the market). In some songs, the Melomania P100 seem to lose a bit the overview, and some sounds are simply disappearing (like for example the little “clicking” sounds in Björk’s “Hyper-Ballad”) – probably the bass is overshadowing too much the rest of the music. The AirPods, my Bowers & Wilkins P7x S2 and also my Sennheiser Momentum 3 and even my Bang & Olufsen H9 3rd gen are doing much better here – but all of these headphones are significantly more expensive.Overall, however, the Melomania P100 are a very pleasant set of headphones, and definitely worth the money, especially when you are looking for a “bass-head”-type headphone. And did I mention that they are also comfortable to wear, good looking and feature an unbeatable battery life…?

    Sound on an Audiophile Level, Despite Noise Cancellation Issues
    At this point, it is well-established around the Internet that these headphones have what probably amounts to a design flaw — there are noticeable audio artifacts when using noise cancellation. This results in a faint “puffing” noise when the ANC is on.I returned one unit because of this issue, but the same was true with the second one, and I’ve also read enough reviews of the headphones to conclude that this is a design or manfacturing issue. Whether it’s correctable via a firmwear update remains to be seen.What is equally well established is that, for all intents and purposes, this an audiophile quality Bluetooth headphone that functions at or near the top of the pile.This is of course a subjective issue, but I am among those who can describe these headphones as clearly superior in fidelity to the Focal Bathys, which is $700, and the B&W Px8, which is $600.I have not owned a B&O H95 or a Dali IO-12, so I cannot compare these to headphones in that $1K+ price range. I can tell you I have seen reviews of the Melomania P100 which prefer it over the H95.Because it is a close-back headphone, even in “normal” mode there is enough noise cancellation to satisfy me, which is another reason why the ANC issues don’t bother me.The fact that this is a “vegan” product is not unimportant to me, and B+O’s of lambskin is actually a deal-breaker for me. So I hope Cambridge Audio continues in this vein.These headphones are pretty comfortable, and feel lighter than the Bathys. For overall comfort, for me the B&W PX8 is by far the best, which is why I use that headset when I’m falling asleep to podcasts. But as most people will tell you, the PX8 is not an audiophile quality headphone.If the ANC issues could be resolved either through firmwear or manufacturing changes, this would be a slam-dunk five star rating.The fact that we are even talking about this headphone equalling or exceeding the Bathys, the PX8, and the H93 is astonishing. So if you care about sound quality but need to save some money and aren’t obsessed with ANC, this headphone is essentially a no brainer purchase.As some people have pointed out, if Cambridge Audio could sort out the kinks with the ANC and also raise the sound bar even further, they could release a $600 headphone that could be a game changer. But even at present, the P100 is basically the talk of the tone amongst fans of Bluetooth headphones.

    As an owner of the original Melomania 1 in-ears, I was excited to see Cambridge Audio announce their first over ear headphones. Wonderful soundstage considering the closed back design, and a satisfying neutral profile out of the box. Noise cancelling works well in most environments, drowning out droning tones such as train engines with ease. I find the cups sit tight enough on the ears that the ANC isn’t necessary for everyday background noise. The build quality is exceptional and feels premium in the hand and on the head. The swivel and flex to the headband provide ample opportunity for a good fit, and the phones sit comfortably on my head for hours at a time. Physical buttons located on the bottom edge of each earcup make changing volume and the like an easy task. The battery life is exceptional, with my pair not needing a charge yet since I bought them despite frequent use across plenty of commutes. The microphone quality is great and perfectly usable for phone calls and voice notes, with the clear voice technology working well to remove wind sounds and such.My only complaint would be that Google Fast Pair doesn’t seem to work as intended, given that even when paired and in use I’ll get pop ups to pair the headphones with my device and following that prompt, an error when trying to autodownload the app. However, other than this hiccup they work flawlessly. Highly recommend.

    Ich habe die Kopfhörer heute erst bekommen und werde die Rezension falls nötig noch ergänzen.Sound: der Sound ist überzeugend. Die Kopfhörer klingen besser als alles was ich in dieser Preisklasse getestet habe. Bose, Sony, etc.Aber: Der Sound ist leider stark abhängig vom gewählten Modus. Ohne ANC/Transparenz eingeschaltet klingt er recht langweilig. Es fehlen einfach die Bässe und etwas die Höhen, die Mitten sind sehr dominant. Dies lässt sich durch einen V EQ in der App ausgleichen. EQ Einstellungen lassen sich übrigens speichern.Schaltet man aber das ANC oder den Transparenz-Modus ein, klingt der Kopfhörer ohne EQ sehr, sehr gut, ich habe zeitweise die Bässe sogar noch etwas abgesenkt. So klingt der Kopfhörer sehr ausgeglichen, klar, detailliert und eher wie ein doppelt so teures Gerät. Ich vermisse meinen HD650 nicht, wenn ich nur mit diesem Kopfhörer mein Haus verlasse. Außerdem ist zu erwähnen, dass die Kofphörer genug Power haben und man sich keine Sorgen um eine zu geringe Lautstärke machen muss.Zum Rest: Das ANC scheint gut zu sein, auch wenn ich eine Kappe trage, welche eine volle Abdichtung schwieriger macht. Die App funktioniert hervorragend und die Tasten sind einfach besser als nervige Touchflächen.Die Kopfhörer sind etwas schwerer als die der Konkurrenz und nicht so Flach wie ein Bose QC 45 oder ähnliches und stehen schon ein gutes Stück vom Kopf ab, der Sound macht das dann aber wieder wett. Der Kopfhörer sitzt aber trotzdem recht bequem. Das Case ist ziemlich groß, da die Kopfhörer leider nicht faltbar sind.Alles in allem, ein sehr gelungener Kopfhörer der mit allem fertig wird, was man ihm gibt. Von Klassik über Jazz, Rock, Pop, Country bis hin zu Metall.Die letzten drei Stunden mit dem Kopfhörer auf sind wie im Flug vergangen und haben auch nur 4% Akku gebraucht (Mit ANC). Die Angaben dürften also durchaus realistisch sein. Absolut empfehlenswert!Nach einigen Wochen lässt nicht noch anmerken, dass der Bügel etwas schmal und unkomfortabel ist um recht schnell drückt. Eine Stunde hören ist aber für mich gut möglich. Zudem hat der Kopfhörer wenig Halt und sitzt nicht so stabil andere, was auch am höheren Gewicht liegt. Auch die Größe ist ein wenig problematisch, wenn man die Kopfhörer gerne im Rucksack dabei haben möchte, mein 28l Rucksack ist mit dem Case fast halb voll… Die BT Verbindung ist relativ stabil, nur wenn man den Kopfhörer beim Laufen einschaltet funktioniert das oft nicht, nur wenn man stehen bleibt. Ansonsten immer noch sehr zufrieden.

    …queste cuffie sono imbattibili.Ho usato/provato negli ultimi anni diverse cuffie over hear con cancellazione rumore (tecnologia che non mi serve particolarmente, quindi non commenterò a riguardo).Solo le Momentum 4 avevano un suono, a mio avviso, corretto, ma mi infastidivano attorno alle orecchie.Quindi ho fatto il reso ed ho preso queste Cambridge Audio, anche ingolosito dalla lunga durata della batteria e dal fatto che é sostituibile dall’utilizzatore ad un costo accettabile.Trovo il suono equilibrato e preciso, premetto che suo l’eco sistema Apple quindi non posso utilizzare altro coded che l’AAC, che é lossy.Oltre alla risposta molto equilibrata, personalizzabile con eq nell’app, la cosa che più trovo evidente é la spazialità del suono. I vari strumenti sono ben separati e posizionati, il palcoscenico sonoro é piuttosto ampio per essere cuffie chiuse e wireless. L’ascolto é piacevole con tutti i generi che ho affrontato, forse un pochino di nerbo in più con le chitarre rock aiuterebbe, ma basta creare un preset con l’eq.ovviamente il suono é sensibilmente migliore collegandole via USB-C, modalità in cui i microfoni restano attivi e utilizzabili (alcuni concorrenti non passano l’audio attraverso la USB-C che viene usata solo per la ricarica).Il peso é moderato, stanno bene in testa (soggettivo) e con un minimo di cura, circondano le orecchie senza fastidio. Tendono a scaldare un po’, inevitabile dati i morbidi padiglioni in ecopelle.L’ANC funziona, non esclude completamente i rumori come ho avuto modo di sentire con altri prodotti, ma fa comunque il suo dovere, e non impatta sulla resa sonora.Presente anche la modalità trasparenza, e tutta l’elaborazione dell’ANC é escludibile. La voce guida é presente anche in italiano, configurabile da app.Buono l’audio in chiamata, sia per me che per l’interlocutore, provato all’aperto in un luogo non particolarmente chiassoso.Nel complesso, un ottimo prodotto, ben costruito, con pochi accessori ma utili (custodia di trasporto, cavo USB-C/USB-C e USB-C/jack 3,5mm per collegarle a sorgenti analogiche (é necessario siano accese, in ogni caso). Il pairing con due dispositivi é veloce, e il passaggio tra entrambi quelli connessi é quasi sempre affidabile.

    Je cherchais un remplaçant à mon Audio Technica ATH-MSR7 pour gagner en praticité (sans fil et sans dac/ampli externe). Pour être honnête je ne m’attendais pas à conserver le Cambridge, c’était surtout pour tester un nouveau casque BT (j’avais déjà essayé le sony wh-1000xm4, vite revendu car trop basseux et “fouillis” pour moi, ainsi que le Stax S3 qui m’avait bien plus malgré une finition très plastique et une scène sonore un peu trop resserrée à mon goût en comparaison du MSR7).Une fois le Cambridge calé sur ma tête, j’ai tout de suite été très agréablement surpris par la restitution sonore (critère principal pour moi, l’ANC n’étant pas indispensable dans mon cas). C’est un casque que je qualifierais de très musical (je me suis surpris à taper du pied sur mes morceaux de jazz préférés, notamment sur l’album We get requests d’Oscar Peterson). J’ai beaucoup apprécié la scène sonore qu’il propose, se rapprochant du Audio Technica qui est déjà très bon pour un casque fermé. Les mediums sont bien mis en avant, les basses ne prédominent pas et sont impactantes sans être “baveuses” (je les baisse parfois un peu en fonction du style musical via l’equalizer de l’application) et les aigus très bien restitués et sans aucune sibilance. Je pourrais juste regretter parfois un peu de clarté. Bref, sur le plan audio c’est du très bon.Pour le reste le casque est très confortable, aucune douleur malgré plusieurs heures d’écoute. Le maintien pourrait être un peu meilleur (si je penche la tête en avant le casque a tendance à glisser légèrement). Je n’ai pas testé en profondeur l’ANC car peu utile dans mon cas. Que dire de l’autonomie qui est énorme (100h en théorie sans ANC !), après 8h d’écoute le casque n’a perdu que 5% batterie. Et le fait que la batterie soit remplaçable est une très bonne chose également (en espérant qu’on puisse la trouver encore dans quelques années). L’étui de transport est de bonne qualité quoiqu’un peu massif (il faut également présenter le casque dans le bon sens pour pouvoir le ranger).Je tiens à préciser que je n’ai pas eu l’occasion de le comparer au Focal Bathys ou BW Px8 mais la catégorie de prix n’est pas la même (encore que certains testeurs donnent le Cambridge aussi bon, je serais curieux de faire une écoute comparative !

    There is truly a lot to like about these headphones. I don’t think I’ve loved a pair this much before. The look and feel are real nice and a good representation of what they are capable of. They are comfortable and light enough to wear many hours, albeit a bit wide. Using a chair with a headrest will limit the freedom of head-movement noticeably more then thin, smooth shaped competitors, as the sides will touch the chair every now and then.Unfortunately I have returned my unit twice. A swivel of one cup made noise with the slightest of movement. It was very small but present enough to distract from immersion every session using it. Communication with Cambridge Audio was straight forward and they where very helpful and quick to get me a replacement. The second set had its ANC produce very uncomfortable blows while walking. It might have been bad luck on my side but I didn’t want to spent more time on it nor bother Cambridge Audio any further. Now I’ve settled with another brand that has a long history of making good ANC headphones and I’m ok with those. But I do miss my P100’sTheir sound is stunning. It’s the most pleasant I have ever heard from a pair of BT headphones, simple as that. A powerful enough wide open stage with nice separation. Clear and clean representation of all genres I’ve listened to. It just seem to come natural to them. The ANC is impressive. The app, with it’s 7-band equalizer and presets is very efficient. I like it better than Bose’s or Sony’s. Multipoint is flawless reliable and quick between iPhone and Mac. Again better than aforementioned. The battery life is amazing and the possibility to replace the battery in the future makes such a nice future-proof reassurance that shouldn’t be understated. Controls with actual physical buttons is very straight forward and is another big plus using those headphones. Audio over USB-C (and the quality of the cables, gosh).In the end it ticks so many boxes for me that it almost feels wrong to leave that fifth star from the rating. At the same time I’m looking for ANC to avoid distracting sound and when the device itself produces them it defeats it’s purpose for me, no matter how well priced. In the future I will definitely look at those again, maybe a next iteration. Meanwhile I envy the people who, either don’t have my bad luck or are less pedantic than me and can enjoy those headphones to their potential.
