Cambridge Melomania P100 Review

[@StillAliveAndKicking_]

Good review. I’m 61 and discovered that I need to apply a slope with the equaliser, increasing high frequencies and reducing low ones to compensate for my loss of hearing sensitivity due to age. I like that these have a good equaliser and neutral balance by default. Most noise cancelling cans have an exaggerated bass that I find horrible. They have excellent performance at all frequencies, my Bose QC25 get a bit mushy at lower frequencies. I would class these as high grade cans, on a par with my Sennheiser HD600, once I enabled the equaliser. For a young person they would be fine without any equalisation. Mine are very comfy, well made, user replaceable battery and ear pads, and a very reasonable price.

Awesome, I’m happy you like them!

Previously, there was an unusual thumping noise when walking with noise cancellation enabled. However, with the latest firmware released by Cambridge Audio, all issues have been resolved, and the headphones now function flawlessly for me.

Good to hear!

I still have this noise with newest firmware if their are lots of vibrations, for example in a starting plain.

I have these myself. I chose them for the replaceable battery as well as Cambridge Audio's reputation. I was very surprised with how great the sound is. Thanks for your review.

Gahh! I forgot to mention the replacable battery!!

I don't *need* these, but.... I want them I'm a slight Cambridge Audio fanboy, their products tend to be fairly well thought out, and they actively listen to their customers

And the price is crazy cheap for the quality :-)

There are 2 things I don't like about them: overall size and material of earcups. They look kinda weird in comparison vs Sony for example when wearing in public. My ears get quiet sweaty when longer wearing, I would prefer a fabric alternative.

It would be interesting to see what changes on the second iteration of this headphone.

@@0102studioA P200 could have: • Planar drivers, angled toward ears • Folding earcups (like Sony MDR headphones) • AI noise filtering mics like Audeze Maxwell's tech • Better ANC like Bose QC Ultra
