Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 SE Headphones - Bluetooth, Active Noise Cancelling with Hi-Fi Sound, 100 Hour Playback with User Replaceable Battery, Gaming Mode and Carry Case - Black

Great sound from the Royal Blue model .I have it in the flat mode and I turned off the dynamic EQ also. This pushes up the Bass and Treble. Nothing wrong with it Just a Preference . Noise cancelling works well while at Planet Fitness. There a comfortable fit I have no fatigue issues. They do get warm after an hour on the Elliptical . Being able to change out the Battery and Foam Ear pads is a huge plus. Long long battery life 60 - 100 hours depending on the noise cancelling mode your using . Nice music separation and it is a close sound stage . Bass is present when it needs to be and the treble does not have any harshness to it . These are smooth and balanced sounding headphones . A great price point for this quality build and sound . Explore the market a bit and try to find another package to compete with what Cambridge offers. I`m partial but I think you'll come up short.

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.

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.

Estos auriculares ofrecen una calidad de sonido superior al que su precio parece indicar. Equilibrado, potente, sin bajos retumbantes ni agudos estridentes. La app es basica pero ofrece control sobre los aspectos principales, anc, ecualizador y actualizacion de firmware. En cuanto a comodidad de uso, aunque no son los mas ligeros, no suponen ningun problema para llevarlos durante horas, sobretodo cuando te has acistumbrado a ellos. Sobre los codecs de audio Bluetooth, encuentro a faltar LDAC pero esto un problema sobretodo por culpa de mi movil Samsung, que no admite formatos Aptx mas alla del basico. Para acabar, la bateria dura una barbaridad, te olvidas casi de cargarlos. Muy contento con este dispositivo, de una marca mas orientada a un oyente audiofilo pero plenamente asequible

Suoerb sound and build quality! Really enjoying listening to these headphones. Easy to equalise to your own sound preference.

Sono davvero magnifico e materiali Premium! Comodità e trasportabilità un po’ meno (rispetto a Sony Wmx 4 o 5 e Bose QC) Da appassionato di musica e audio ho posseduto e ascoltato diverse cuffie dai marchi più blasonati e premium a quelli più sconosciuti: come cuffie Bluetooth e ANC posso dire che a livello di suono queste sono davvero le migliori!! Collegate via cavo fanno ancora un salto quantico e sembra di sentire attraverso gli speaker di un buon impianto Hi-fi! Suono da 5 stelle (e oltre!) Anche a livello software hanno fatto un bel lavoro (anche se non ancora a livello di Sony o Bose) Livello di portabilità e comodità: qui le Bose QC o le Sony WH1000-X4 o X5 sono come mettersi le pantofole quando torni a casa dopo una giornata di lavoro: non le senti ma stai benissimo con loro! L’archetto (bellissimo in alluminio e rivestito in pelle) con l’attacco esterno ai padiglioni le fa sembrare più grandi di quelle che sono e sulla testa risultano più voluminose: peccato! Giudizio finale: cuffie ottime, suono ricco e profondo, un pó meno da portare in giro ma ottime come ascolto in casa/ufficio!

Great headphones. Super comfortable over ear, although not so great with glasses. The sound is superb; clear, warm and engaging. The sound cancellation is good. And you can look like you've walked off a Dr Who set when you wear them. What's not to like?

- bonne qualité de fabrication dans l'ensemble, aucun grincement. Design idéal même pour les gens avec une tête large comme moi. La mousse de d’arceaux est toutefois un peu dure, j'ai dû rallonger le casque pour éviter que ça appuie trop sur le dessus du crâne au détriment d'une meilleure tenue. Le confort est tout de même très bon. Au niveau des oreilles, c'est légèrement serré mais sinon le casque ne me fait pas suer contrairement à mes autres casques (XM3, Audio technica). Je peux le porter sans problème plusieurs heures. - coffret qualitatif avec des câbles USB C/USB C et USB C/jack; idéal pour le brancher directement sur son smartphone ou pc. - utilisation et détection rapide sur smartphone et pc. - superbe son ne nécessitant aucun égalisateur. Mon XM3 fait pâle figure à côté. - pas super convaincu par l'ANC qui rajoute un bruit sourd désagréable à mon goût lorsqu'aucune musique est joué. L'isolation passive se suffit en elle-même. Le mode transparent est ok. - son en connexion filaire est bon mais en très léger deçà par rapport au Bluetooth. Bon point : on peut utiliser l'ANC avec le mode filaire. - multipoint fonctionnel mais qui peut parfois occasionner des micro coupures de son si un flux de son se lance sur mon smartphone pendant une lecture de musique sur mon pc. - traduction française approximative ("détection de l'usure" plutôt que "détection d'utilisation" par exemple) mais elle a le mérite d'être là. - batterie impressionnante : 7% d'utilisé pour 10h d'écoute - aptx HD pris en charge sur pc même si c'est pas explicité dans les spécifications du casque. - utilisation de boutons pour les commandes à place du tactile : j'adore. Bref un casque parfait pour moi qui vise surtout une utilisation sédentaire avec les avantages du sans fil
