The Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 have been making waves in the audio world, offering a decent active noise cancelling feature and impressive battery life for a budget-friendly price. These earbuds are a minor update from their more affordable brethren, the Melomania P100, addressing a few minor issues. The P100 are currently significantly cheaper than their upgraded version, the Melomania P100 SE, and are on sale on both Amazon US ($239, originally $279) and Amazon UK (£149, originally £199). The Melomania P100 do not boast fancy features like Spatial Audio, but they excel in other areas. Equipped with the aptX Lossless codec, they reproduce CD quality audio, and their sound quality is impeccably detailed for the price. The earbuds offer unwaveringly faithful sound, exhibiting an even-handed sound profile. The P100's battery life is another standout feature. With up to 100 hours of playtime, these earbuds can last for days without needing to be charged. This long battery life, combined with their lower price point, makes the Melomania P100 an impressive performer for a lower price than many mid-range rivals. However, it's worth noting that the P100's noise cancelling capabilities are not as robust as some rivals. While they hush sound effectively, they do not truly banish it. As a reviewer who has been using the Melomania P100 as their daily go-to headphones for most of the year, I can attest to their value. The discount on the P100 represents enormous value, making them a strong contender for those in the market for affordable earbuds. But does the upgraded version, the Melomania P100 SE, offer better value with its $40 / £50 discount? That's a question worth considering, as the SE sometimes contradicts what made the originals so special with its tweaks. For those seeking guidance on finding the best earbuds, our guides to the best cheap headphones and the best earbuds are worth a read. However, if you're looking for a balance of affordability, sound quality, and battery life, the Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 might just be the perfect fit. It's worth mentioning that the Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 is currently not marketed on the platform Kleinanzeigen.de in Germany as a new item, but appears there through individual sellers rather than an official retail offering. In conclusion, the Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 are a strong choice for those seeking high-quality, affordable earbuds with impressive battery life and detailed sound.
