This latest offering brings forth cutting-edge features including Lossless Audio support and Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), marking a significant leap in wireless audio technology.
At the core of the Melomania M100 lies Cambridge Audio's signature sound, meticulously engineered through premium 10mm drivers and Class AB amplification. Leveraging expertise honed over 50 years and drawing inspiration from the acclaimed CX Series hi-fi amplifiers, the M100 promises an immersive listening experience characterized by deep, controlled bass, realistic vocals, and pristine treble clarity.
One of the main features of the Melomania M100 is its support for aptX Lossless technology, enabling high-fidelity playback in stunning CD-quality audio, a feat previously elusive in the true wireless realm. This groundbreaking advancement heralds a new era for wireless audio, offering music lovers the opportunity to indulge in their favorite tracks with unparalleled clarity and detail.
Furthermore, the integration of Active Noise Cancellation technology sets the Melomania M100 apart from its predecessors, ensuring an uninterrupted listening experience by effectively blocking out exterior noise. This hybrid ANC system combines Feed-Back and Feed-Forward technology along with Qualcomm Adaptive ANC, guaranteeing optimized noise cancellation regardless of the earbuds' fit.
In terms of battery life, the M100 boasts an impressive 10 hours of playback on a single charge, extendable to a remarkable 16 hours with ANC deactivated. The accompanying charging case provides an additional two full charges, offering users a total of 52 hours of uninterrupted listening pleasure. Fast charging capabilities further enhance convenience, with just 10 minutes of charge time yielding an extra 2 hours of ANC-enabled playback.
Comfort and fit are paramount during extended listening sessions, and the M100 excels in this aspect. Drawing from data collected from thousands of ears, Cambridge Audio has crafted earbuds that strike the perfect balance between comfort and noise isolation. With three sizes of silicone tips and two sizes of memory foam tips included, users can customize their fit for optimal comfort and sound quality.
In addition to its advanced audio capabilities, the Melomania M100 prioritizes seamless connectivity and user convenience. Featuring Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio, the earbuds offer enhanced compatibility and future-proofing potential. Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair streamline the initial pairing process, while refined touch controls and customizable settings via the Melomania Connect app ensure a tailored user experience.
Cambridge Audio's commitment to sustainability is also evident in the design of the Melomania M100, with recycled materials utilized wherever possible. From recycled Neodymium for the driver magnets to 50% recycled plastic construction, the M100 embodies eco-conscious principles.
Furthermore, the earbuds are shipped in plastic-free packaging, highlighting Cambridge Audio's dedication to environmental responsibility.
