Cambridge Audio Melomania M100 Earbuds - HiFi ANC True Wireless

In this review of the Cambridge Audio Melomania M100 earbuds the bottom line is straightforward: these are for listeners who prioritise detailed, wide soundstage and long playtime while still wanting active noise cancellation. The strongest single reason to consider the M100 is the combination of aptX Lossless support and a customisable EQ that delivers noticeably more refined, spacious audio than many rivals at the price. The review finds the battery life and ANC modes useful for long commuting sessions, though fit and touch control behaviour can be hit-or-miss for some users.

Key Features

• aptX Lossless and custom EQ: delivers a cleaner, more detailed presentation and lets listeners tailor tonal balance to their music and tastes.
• Adaptive hybrid ANC: reduces background noise in three modes while a transparency option keeps ambient sound when needed for awareness.
• Extended battery life: offers up to 52 hours combined with the charging case with ANC off, giving several days of typical use between charges.
• Comfort fit options: five included ear tips in silicone and foam make it easier to find a seal that improves bass and isolation.
• Bluetooth 5.3: provides more stable connections and greater data capacity for music transmission than older chipsets.

Who It's For

The M100 suits commuters and long-session listeners who want a HiFi leaning true wireless option with active noise cancellation and long battery life. Audiophiles who use phones or players that support aptX will appreciate the wider soundstage and the ability to tweak the EQ via the Melomania Connect app.

Those who need ultra-secure physical fit for sports, or who expect flawless touch controls and perfect quality control out of the box, may want to audition the earbuds first or consider alternatives; several users report fit inconsistencies and finicky touch response in everyday wear and exercise.
