Cambridge Audio Melomania 1+

The Cambridge Audio Melomania 1+ are as good as you can get for sound quality below £50, boasting long battery and solid call quality

Impressive sound for the money ; Long battery life ; Good call quality ; App support ; Affordable

Some won’t like the ‘plugged in’ feeling ; Connection can get spotty in busy areas

The Melomania 1+ are as good as you can get for sound quality below £50. The design will undoubtedly put some off, but in terms of value there aren’t many earphones as compelling as what Cambridge Audio has put forward with these buds.

Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 Plus review: superbly tuned sound from T3 Awards 2021 winners

The Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 Plus are affordable true wireless earbuds with impressive audio quality

Excellent audio quality ; Long-lasting battery ; A choice between silicone and memory foam tips

No active noise-cancelling ; Simple, plain design ; Using the button pushes them further into the ear

The Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 Plus may not look like anything special, but they are some of the best sounding true wireless earbuds you can get for this price. You can even adjust the audio using the EQ settings in the Melomania app.

IPX5 for water resistance. Stable and very breathable fit. Well-built design. Graphic EQ and presets available. Low leakage at high volumes.

Sub-par battery performance. Bad passive soundstage. No multi-device pairing. Middling recording quality.

The Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 Plus are okay for neutral sound. Their default sound profile is very bass-heavy, which adds extra thump, rumble, and boom to your mixes. If you prefer a more neutral sound, their companion app has a graphic EQ and...

I receive everything I like with the Melomania 1+ which is why I suspect most other music enthusiasts like myself will enjoy it too. For the price, it is a good value. It does not aim too high, but it offers enough for me to consider it a win.

Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 Plus review: A cheaper, better-sounding AirPods alternative

The Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 Plus is a superb set of wireless earbuds that delivers top-notch performance at an enticing price point.

Stellar audio performance ; Long battery life ; Attractive companion app with useful features ; Elegant and water-resistant design ; More affordable than the AirPods

No ANC or transparency mode ; Disappointing call quality

Nonetheless, the Melomania 1 Plus is well deserving of an Editor’s Choice badge, and is a great deal that you'd be remiss not to at least consider.
