"I really like the... transparency mode of Cambridge Audio Melomania M100. ... In the office I mostly use transparency mode, so I can hear people when they speak to me."
"The battery life is decent, I can get about 11 hours on a single charge with ANC on. So they are definitely a great option for long battery life."
"ANC is also decent and blocks out lots of low and mid frequency noises as well."

"Cambridge m100 are amazing for the current price of $99, they used to be $250."
"M100 is insane for $100-$130. ... they are basically a cheaper technics az80 as far as sound quality. Good stuff. ... the new price for Cambridge Melomania m100 is just crazy good value. ... Both of those trade blows with the $200-$300 pairs."
"Love M100, they are amazing for this price. ... if you're looking for affordability in earbuds, the Cambridge M100 will impress you with its sound, comfort, and incredible battery life."

"the battery life is ridiculous ... nearly double some of its competitors if I remember correctly"
"the battery is fantastic ... But over all best battery ear buds I’ve had"
"I love the longer battery life in the M100s over the shorter battery life in the Denon PerLs. ... I listen to music almost all day when I'm at my desk in the office. ... I love not having to worry about the battery anymore. ... With the Denon PerLs, I had to charge around noon or so, and there were times when I got caught unexpectedly with the "Battery Low" warning"

"Sound quality is also the best I've tried in this under 150 price range. ... Superb imaging, great natural treble reproduction, amazing instrumental depth and clarity that beats some tws 200+"

"My top 3 earbuds for premium sound quality are Denon Perl Pro, Status Between 3 ANC and Cambridge Audio Melomania M100. Those are, to me, the best sounding earbuds."

"didn't go loud"
"sub bass is something that lacks even with EQ on the Cambridge"
"One problem that I find is that the bass can't be made (subwoofer like) even after an EQ change."

"ANC not to the level of the Elite 10 so beware of that, OP."
"noise cancelling which is decent but not as good as some I’ve had in the past."
"The NC might not be quite as good as on the other 2 but it isn't a huge difference"

"I actually have connection issues with the M100, the bluetooth is not that stable when I have the phone in my left pocket (I think the right earbud is the main one) - they are good, but in my exprience they have a lot of dropouts."
"some occasional pairing weirdness, (that always just requires you to put them back in the case and take them out,)"
"My only issue was with connection to begin with"
Just got my Cambridge Melomania m100 and they beat every one of these for 120$ I also have technics. Go for the Cambridge tho. I’m astonished by how good the tuning is. Although the Perl’s sound good they look goofy as hell in the ears.
r/Earbuds • I've narrowed down my choices to these four. Primary use is the gym and casual one-ear music sessions at work. Battery life not a dealbreaker necessarily. Recommendations? ->Somehow my Melomania are producing nearly 75 decibels at 17% volume
r/Earbuds • I've narrowed down my choices to these four. Primary use is the gym and casual one-ear music sessions at work. Battery life not a dealbreaker necessarily. Recommendations? ->I recently got the Cambridge audio m100 TWS for about $100 and I'm very happy with it. Sound quality and noise cancelling is very good for the price
r/Earbuds • Please suggest me the best Earbuds in this price range ->I can only compare to Airpods Pro 2, Wf-1000xm4 and Melomania 1+, but the Melomania M100 have the best imaging, soundstage and most tightly controlled treble I've ever heard from earbuds. They're $119. Incredible sound. I bought xm4's after using 1+ for two years thinking they'd be an upgrade. They were not. Flat, unsupported bass and treble that constantly disappointed. Practically no imaging and soundstage was pitiful. If you can deal with some occasional pairing weirdness, (that always just requires you to put them back in the case and take them out,) the M100s sound better than the xm4's and Airpods Pro 2. Highly, highly recommended, especially for APTX Lossless/Adaptive devices. I added an eppfun USB C dongle for 24 bit/48khz APTX lossless and it's the best audio I've ever heard from my phone. Only competition I've had was open back headphones plugged in through USB C dac. Edit: Also, I've found that EQ is super important for all of these wireless buds. I prefer Harman tuning, but the M100s are super neutral with slight bass tuning, so I just needed to do a small V shaped EQ to get them sounding perfect.
r/Earbuds • Best sounding earbuds under $100 ->Melomania M100 for me. Everything is great aside from maybe the microphone. [Cambridge Audio Melomania M100 ANC Headphones with 52 hours battery](https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/row/en/products/melomania/melomania-m100)
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds for "Everything"? ->switching between Beyerdynamic Free Byrd Denon perl (regular not pro) Cambridge audio Melomania m100 - which I'm using most of the time lately
r/Earbuds • What’s everyone’s daily driver true wireless earbuds ->I actually have connection issues with the M100, the bluetooth is not that stable when I have the phone in my left pocket (I think the right earbud is the main one) - they are good, but in my exprience they have a lot of dropouts. Also **calls in loud environments** are just plain bad, no one will understand you.
r/Earbuds • Best earbuds that just WORK ->I've recently purchased some Cambridge Audio Melomania M100's to replace my old Galaxy buds. The sound quality is fantastic, they come with memory foam inserts which fit well and are comfortable, have better noise cancellation than the old ear buds, and the battery life is ridiculous (nearly double some of its competitors if I remember correctly). My only issue was with connection to begin with but after a hard reset and a firmware update this has disappeared. At £100, I think they're very good quality and reasonably priced for what you get. (On a side note, the best feature is Matt Berry doing all the voice prompts!)
r/running • It's time for new earphones, please help with recommendations ->I settled on the Denon Perl Pro's and am really happy with them. I did try the Cambridge Audio Melomania M100's, but they sounded flat and lifeless to me, and didn't go loud,so they were returned.
r/Earbuds • The Best Wireless Earbuds Available now? ->Definitely yes for example melomania m100 didnt have it.Whn i went to gym realme gave very good performance however the eq app of realme is not good therefore if ypu think of making eq settimgs dont buy it still the flat eq works great if you need bass liberty4 nc is my favoirte for this category secomd is master dymaic its 400 dollars doesnt worth it so if ypu need bass i suggest you cheaper and almost best for me so far liberty 4nc but for metal or instrumental any song i suggest realme air 6 pro
r/Earbuds • What Is The Best Wireless Earbud Right Now? ->Pearl pro Cambridge audio m100 Oppo enco x2 A lot depends on your taste but I have tested a lot of headphones and stick to the ones listed.
