Review: Well worth the investment - I had been using a pair of wired earbuds (Nokia - they were always pretty decent) for years and was quite happy. My Galaxy Note 9 has a mini jack plug but going forward I knew that wireless was going to be the only option. I had been given desertcart vouchers for my birthday and decided I would treat myself to some wireless earbuds. The options available are ridiculous! I think I had about 20 different items saved to my compare list. I went from looking at the £30 range to £50 to then considering the £100 region. After much deliberation I was left with the Cambridge Audio, Lypertek and JBL. I am so glad that I chose the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1+ earbuds. I am writing this a week after purchase and the case has not left my pocket. The earbuds however have been in and out continuously. Opening up the case you find the buds solidly held inside by magnets. They light up straight away and by the time you have popped one in your ear you hear the welcome sound of "Melomania connected". The button controls are simple with Google Assistant available to action your requests - this does only work when you have paused your music though. I am blown away by the sound quality and coupled with my subscription to Deezer which provides HQ tracks and my phone which offers Dolby Atmos (to be fair I have no idea what this is) I am hearing elements of my music choices that have previously been lost to my ears. I chose the memory foam buds and these really work well. You can really ram them in and get a snug fit or they still stay in your ear when gently inserted. I don't fear them falling out at all. I have connected them to my phone, my laptop and even tried them out connected to the TV. All brilliant and completely removes me from the sounds of three children bickering. First couple of days I had the connection momentarily dropout on one ear whilst walking. I was slightly concerned and was going to contact the support. I did a quick google and found a Cambridge Audio page referring to the Touch model. In this it suggested choosing which bud to remove from the case first. With my phone in my left hand pocket I now take the left earbud out first and this is the first to then connect to the phone. I have had no dropouts since. Battery life is fantastic. I have only just run out of juice with the case after a week of solid use. I had read a review that mentioned the microphones not being great but have taken many calls on the phone and Whatsapp and those I have asked are impressed with the call quality. I do look for the L and R symbols though and aim to have these pointing towards my mouth. These are definitely going to get a lot of use and I feel like I have invested in high end equipment that will stand the test of time.
Review: Excellent earbuds but beware of the white ones. - This is my third updated review of the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1+ earbuds, I originally gave them 3 stars and a rather disparaging review so I need to put the record straight. I bought them because they had been reduced to a giveaway price of £49.95 and had great reviews and this is my thoughts and impressions. They come lavishly packed which gives hope that they should be something special but first impressions were not that great. They come fitted with large memory foam ear tips which wouldn't even stay in my ears so I swapped them out for medium sized silicon tips. Playing tracks I knew from previous earbuds they sounded rather flat, lacking in bass and treble and any form of dynamics or excitement. It was difficult to keep a good seal in the ears with the silicon tips which didn't help matters. Replacing them with medium sized Memory Foam tips made a great improvement, it's imperative that you use Memory Foam tips with these earbuds, they provide a much better seal which improves the bass and overall sound quality, plus they are far more comfortable to wear. It's absolutely imperative that you download the app on Android or IOS to improve the sound and usability of these earbuds using the built in equaliser. At the risk of upsetting Cambridge Audio by changing the tuning of their earbuds, they need a quite generous bass and treble boost to get the best out of them. Fortunately this doesn't muddy or affect the superb midrange, it just gives them the the excitement and dynamics they are initially lacking. It's the typical V shaped frequency response that other earbuds offer straight out of the box, it's not an audiophile frequency response but it's the most pleasing to the human ear, or at least it is to mine. The picture is my equaliser settings. With the aid of the memory foam ear tips and a substantial lift in the bass and treble these earbuds now sound superb. IMPORTANT be advised that unless you insert the earbuds as deep into the ear canal as possible to provide a good airtight seal, you won't get the best sound out of them. Overall I'm now delighted I bought these earbuds and persevered to get the best out of them. At the reduced asking price they are an absolute bargain and I can't think of any other earbuds that I've tried that can deliver the sonic performance the Melomania 1+ do. I can highly recommend them providing you use Memory Foam tips and adjust the equaliser to your own personal preference. I can't stress enough the importance of getting a perfect seal between the earbuds and the ear canal, you won't get the bass extension and at worst they'll sound tinny and you'll end up hating them. Pushing and twisting earbuds deep into the ears can be uncomfortable and painful but that's the only way you'll hear the sound as it's meant to be and proves that earbuds should only be used for casual listening and not for long periods. It's pointless spending hundreds of pounds on earbuds, they're not designed for serious listening, best to spend the money on a decent pair of headphones and only use earbuds when out and about or for short periods. You won't get anything better than the Melomania 1+ at anywhere near this price point, I'm pretty sure of that. Update: BEWARE OF BUYING THE WHITE ONES ON A BLACK FRIDAY DEAL. I bought the white ones at a reduced Black Friday price and they were faulty, not charging fully and not turning on when taken out of the case. I returned them and bought another pair and they were exactly the same. I think that might be the reason they're so cheap!!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do these compare with the lypertek tevi?**
A: I thought the tevis were the best headphones I tried from the chi fi companies that were doing TW headphones around the 80 to 100 quid mark but the Melomanias have shown to be much better. People have different preferences so it’s hard to compare unless you do it yourself. I don’t really like the shape and fit But I can tolerate it. The Tevis have a much better fit and the weight has never been an issue for me

**Q: I have read that these are maybe not the most dynamic listen, would they be OK with a mixture of rock, classical and dance music?**
A: If you get the right foam tips these sound absolutely incredible. I use the small foam comply with the poweramp app on my galaxy S5. Heaven. They are even pretty damn good with the silicone tips. I listen to rock, metal as well as pop r n b and hip hop. The bass kicks serious a%&. I've told everyone I know to buy them. Best 100 quid you'll ever spend if you love music.

**Q: Can anyone tell me are these quite small as ive got small ears.**
A: I must have weird ears too because these don't fit me well with any of the tips provided. The memory foam are the closest but they're still often falling out. They're a really well made, great sounding product but I wish there was an earloop or Budlok type attachment which could hold them in place. I haven't been able to find anything compatible for them.

**Q: Are these suitable for runners**
A: They arrived yesterday and I did a first run with them today. Swapped to the largest tips, gently pushed/screwed them into my ears and went running. Felt them ease back to a point they stayed at. Didn’t need to adjust or push back in regardless of heating up whilst running (so sweating)- they were fine. Ran 8 miles and had a rain shower during the run. They just worked so I think will be absolutely fine. Had volume low enough so I could hear around me and the controls were simple and intuitive for music. Didn’t take the case with me as I knew I would be inside 2 hours so plenty of charge in the buds.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***5 on 12 February 2022*

C'est la deuxième paire que je possède. La première m'avait été offerte (c'était les melomania 1). Alors je vais aller droit au but. J'ai acheté cette 2ème paire, la version melomania 1+ parce que l'un des écouteurs de la première version a commencé à montrer des signes de faiblesse. Son à la limite de l'audible, revenant parfois, jusqu'à ce qu'il ne revienne plus. Je tiens à préciser que le SAV de Cambridge Audio est super. Aucun souci pour prendre en charge l'article défectueux mais je n'ai pas voulu attendre (car il faut tout de même renvoyer les écouteurs en Angleterre et donc patienter)... Et comme je me suis habitué à ces écouteurs... Verdict : - le son semble un poil meilleur (mieux défini) que celui des melomania 1 (qui était de mon point de vue déjà très bon,, n'en déplaise à certains qui les ont trouvés pas assez "basseux".- une question de conduit auditif et de choix des embouts). - l'application Android qui permet de connaître le niveau de charge des 2 écouteurs, le codec accepté par son smartphone (ainsi j'ai pu vérifier que mon Samsung S9+ passait bien en aptx, même si à défaut il est sur le ldac et que les versions Europe ne sont pas équipées de puces qualcomm- bon, on ne s'en sert qu'une fois). Il y a également un équaliser. - avoir écouté les critiques sur la première version et être passé en usb-c pour la recharge même si c'est loin d'être mon premier critère de choix. - le rapport qualité / prix passé désormais sous la barre des 100 € (130 au lancement). Franchement, pour ce prix, peu d'intras propose cette qualité audio. On peut aussi se tourner vers le melomania touch, basses plus marquées, forme plus dans l'air du temps (meilleur maintien aussi) et touches tactiles pour 90 € sur Amazon (140 ou 150 € au départ) - la forme "balle de fusil" et les commandes non tactiles (mais tout le monde n'aimera pas) - l'isolation passive assez bonne du fait de leur forme. - en revanche, pour ma part, déconseillé pour la course, sous peine de passer son temps à les réenfoncer sans arrêt dans les oreilles ou manquer de les faire tomber. Question de morphologie !? (même chose quand on mange). - toujours l'excellente autonomie - la liaison bluetooth un brin capricieuse sitôt le smartphone dans la poche arrière d'un pantalon. Bref, malgré ma petite mésaventure sur la première paire, je continue à les recommander pour leur qualité audio indiscutable selon moi, même avec des plate-formes de streaming au son compressé (suivez mon regard) , leur autonomie exceptionnelle et pour le SAV (même si on préfère quand même ne pas avoir affaire à eux) et leur rapport qualité / prix.
