    Feel Every Beat

    Melomania M100 feature two generous 10mm drivers and magnets made from recycled Neodymium. The resulting powerful, but controlled, sound is one that maintains your music’s energy without sacrificing detail – regardless of genre.

    Experiment with the choice of ear tips for the best seal, and to keep the sound firmly where it belongs.

    Music First

    Everyone deserves a great soundstage, low distortion, and high dynamic range. It’s what makes recorded music come alive.

    Melomania M100 use Class AB amplification, the same type found in many of our award-winning amps, to deliver the authentic sound quality we’re known for – even when you’re on the go.

    Let’s Get Personal

    We’ve tuned M100 to deliver our authentic signature Cambridge sound, but we know many people have their own style.

    We’ve specified a 7-band graphic equaliser in the all-new Melomania Connect app to build your own custom EQs. Plus, we’ve included 6 pre-set profiles for different music genres or spoken word listening.

    Keep the Outside Out

    M100 feature adaptive hybrid ANC, which uses information from Feed Forward mics, for external sound, and Feed Back mics, that detect unwanted sound in your ear canal. It automatically adjusts the noise cancellation level based on sound ingress and tightness of fit in the ears.  

    Enjoy music, podcasts, and calls, uninterrupted by irritating background noise.

    Let the Outside In

    Activate Transparency mode and shift your attention to what’s going on around you.  

    With Melomania M100, you can tune into the sound of your surroundings, hold conversations, and listen to public announcements – all without removing your earphones or pausing your playlist.

    All Day and All of the Night

    M100 continue our tradition of consigning battery anxiety to history, with up to 10 hours of continuous playback possible from a full charge – even with ANC on.  

    The compact, Qi wireless-compatible charging case stores an extra 23 hours (ANC on) – a lot more albums, podcasts, videos and calls! Take a 10-minute coffee-break charge for a 1.5-hour energy boost.

    Your Fit, But You Know It

    We supply 5 pairs of ear-tips with every pair of M100 – S & L in premium memory foam or S,M,L in silicone. Experiment to find the best combination for fit, seal and, of course, comfort.

    So, whether you’re working, commuting, or simply listening to music, you’ll barely notice you’re wearing them.

    High-Tech. As Standard

    aptX Lossless works with compatible devices to deliver bit-exact, CD-quality audio with no compression, whilst aptX Adaptive automatically adjusts to keep the music going in busy areas like railway stations at up to 24bit/96kHz.

    Bluetooth 5.3 adds extra capacity, speed, stability, and efficiency over its predecessors, helping music, podcasts, video, games and calls to sound their best.

    London Calling

    When you buy new headphones, they need to be great for calls too. M100 use 3-microphone cVc, a system developed by Qualcomm that helps your voice stand out above environmental noise.  

    A series of convenient features like Multipoint Connection, Siri and Google Assistant compatibility, reduced-latency gaming mode, and our new Melomania Connect app complete the story.

    Designed for Life

    Like all our products, Melomania M100 are made to last. They’re designed in London, so IPX4 water resistance was a must. Their compact case protects and charges them in your pocket. The packaging is 100% recyclable and free from plastic.

    Over-the-air firmware updates will add capabilities and keep M100 right up to date – watch this space.

    A quality product

    I’ve waited a little while before posting to ensure I give these a headphones a fair trial.

    When I received them I thought they sounded ok. Not great but good enough. However, after two weeks of daily use, I can honestly say that I’m now blown away by their sound quality. I’m not an audiophile but I do have some really nice equipment to play and listen to music on. Now these headphones have ‘burnt in’, the sound is very impressive. Almost as good as my open back Mezes to be honest but with the added obvious convenience that Bluetooth brings.

    The app is good (the preset equaliser profiles are very well judged), the ANC better than I expected from what the professional reviews led me to believe and the passive noise cancelling, helped by the excellent and comfortable fit I can achieve with the medium sized tips, good enough to just put them in and listen. Battery life is great and wireless charging for the case is convenient.

    Overall, I’m thoroughly impressed. I can’t really find anything to fault!

    Superb Bass

    These ear buds are fantastic. I usually have problems getting ear buds to stay in, but with the range of end cups it's easy. The bass response from these is off the scale. Incredible.
