OVERVIEW

Feel your music, everywhere 

We believe exceptional sound should be a part of everyday life. Our new headphones take the incredible quality of our award-winning audio systems on the go, so you can immerse yourself in the music you love, wherever you are. 

Every beat counts

Good music deserves to be played right. We’ve designed and fine-tuned the P100 across a wide range of genres, to deliver phenomenal sound, no matter what you’re listening to. 

 

Superior amplification

Class AB amplification — core to our award-winning CX-series amplifiers  — powers our signature sound. A proven technology that’s audibly better than the standard tech found in 99% of headphones. 

 

 

 

Discovery is in the detail

Our meticulously crafted 40mm drivers preserve all your music’s energy, immersing you in sound and uncovering nuances in your music in ways you’ve never heard before. 

 

 

Lossless clarity, adaptive connectivity

aptX Lossless Bluetooth delivers flawless bit-by-bit transmission of your music, maintaining uncompromised sound quality during wireless listening. Snapdragon Sound also streams at an astounding 24bit/96kHz – better than aptX HD.

aptX Adaptive intelligently monitors and maintains connection quality, for uninterrupted performance in challenging locations.

One charge. 100 hours.

Enjoy up to 100 hours of listening on a full single charge (60 hours with active noise cancelling). And if you’re running low, a 5-minute charge provides up to four hours playtime. 

 

Active Noise Cancellation

Turn the bustling noise of the city into a sanctuary of calm. High performance adaptive hybrid noise cancelling combines an array of mics and cutting-edge technology for a truly immersive experience. To hear the environment around you, activate transparency with a single tap.

 

Premium Comfort, Conscious Design

Viscoelastic memory foam earcups and a soft vegan leather headband offer unparalleled all-day comfort. Lightweight aluminum details ensure maximum durability, so you can enjoy your music as it should be — anytime. 

 

 

Effortless listening

Easily control your listening experience with simple, intuitive controls, and enjoy seamless compatibility with Siri and Google Assistant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Customisable sound

We’ve tuned P100 to deliver precise highs and dynamic lows, but we get that you might want to do your own thing. Customise your listening with Melomania Connect. Create your own presets or choose from six expertly curated profiles.

 

 

 

 

Independent sound, intricate engineering

Made by music and crafted by experts, the P100 pushes the envelope in audio engineering for headphones, combining industry-leading acoustic technologies, fine-tuned for a fantastic listening experience. 

Certified for superior sound quality, it guarantees lossless music, low latency, and high-resolution glitch-free audio with lower power consumption. Echo-cancelling and noise-suppression means calls are uninterrupted and crystal clear, so it’s great for both dedicated listening and daily life.

 

 

Crystal clear phone calls

Multiple beamforming microphones and Qualcomm’s latest Clear Voice Calling cVc 8.0 technology suppress background noise and deliver outstanding voice clarity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make the most of your music

Connect to two devices simultaneously and seamlessly switch between your playlist, a movie on your laptop, or calls on your phone—without the need to reconnect. Connect with the provided cable too, at 24bit/96kHz.

 

 

 

 

 

For music and for the planet

Promoting circularity and minimising waste, 100% of our rare earth neodymium and 50% of the plastic used are recycled. All of our packaging is eco-friendly and plastic-free. Both the battery and earpad cushions are user-replaceable with standard tools, ensuring long-term use.

REVIEW & AWARDS

Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 review: A serious contender for your money - Read More

"The Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 are punching far above their weight class and they’re landing solid punches. If you’re looking for similar headphones from Sennheiser, Bose, Sony, Master & Dynamic, Bang & Olufsen, or Apple. Consider the Cambridge Audio Melomania P100. " - Alex Hernandez

 

Cambridge Audio’s New Melomania P100 Wireless Headphones Sound Sublime - Read More

"The Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 set a new benchmark in wireless ANC headphones. Not only do they sound superb, thanks to those custom drivers and the Class AB amplification, but the ANC function is in the major league and you also get great comfort and almost endless battery life in a design that’s sustainable for years to come. Considering the P100 are Cambridge Audio’s first pair of true wireless ANC headphones, the company has scored a bullseye with a product that offers incredible value for money and probably ought to cost a lot more. If you are thinking of buying Sony or Bose ANC headphones, do yourself a favor and listen to the Melomania P100 first. You won’t regret it. Highly recommended. " - Mark Sparrow

 

Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 Review: Powerful headphones, impressive battery - Read More

"The active noise suppression and transparency mode are also at a good level, but the battery life of a whopping 100 hours is absolutely impressive. No headphones currently last longer than that, at least none that I know of.

However, the P100 is not without its faults. On the one hand, the workmanship seems a little wobbly and fragile, while on the other, the wearing comfort is not entirely convincing. People with larger ears in particular are not well served here. However, this is a personal matter: I find the P100 quite comfortable.

So if you’re looking for over-ear headphones with impressive sound at a powerful price, the Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 are an excellent choice." - Philipp Briel

I tried new Cambridge Audio headphones with a 5-star feature even Sony can't match - Read More

"All in all, based on this early test experience, I think the Melomania P100 offer tremendous battery life, solid sound quality, and at a price point that'll really throw a cat among the pigeons. The big-name makers are unquestionably producing great kit right now – but Cambridge Audio's Sony- and Bose- and Apple-beating battery life and far lower price point will garner them worthy attention. " - Mike Lowe

 

Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 - Read More

"Ultimately, it’s all rather predictable. Cambridge Audio, as confident as they come, identifies an area of the consumer electronics market it would like to be involved in, develops and delivers an appropriate product - and that product turns out to be a superbly specified device that’s profoundly enjoyable to listen to. Chalk up another one in the Cambridge Audio ‘positive’ column…  " 

 

Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 review: incredible value wireless over-ear headphones that last and last (and last) - Read More

"When you line the Melomania P100 up against pretty much any price-comparable competitor (and quite a few that cost a bit more), the value for money they represent can’t really be argued with. 

Specification is ahead of the curve, battery life is as good as it currently gets, build quality and the standard of finish can’t be argued with. And the sound they make – detailed, direct and endlessly listenable – is profoundly competitive too. " - Simon Lucas

 

Hands on: Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 review - Read More

"What we can assert is that they do seem to be a pair of headphones with a lot to offer, even if further investigation will reveal whether it's enough to allow Cambridge Audio to make immediate inroads into a tough market. Our initial impressions are of decent detail, space and a pleasing sense of solidity, but we need more time with the headphones during our full review to find out how well the P100 over-ears will nail those trickier, subtler elements of timing, dynamic contrast and genuine emotional expressiveness. We look forward to getting a full review sample in due course and to finding out whether Cambridge Audio's new P100 over-ear headphones are capable of running with the very best in this highly competitive category." - Harry McKerrell

Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 review: these headphones change the game on value - Read More

"Cambridge Audio's first set of over-ears marks an accomplished start – the Melomania P100 is priced really competitively. But that's not to the compromise of sound quality – as these over-ears also sound great. There's superb battery life, too. The only real downside is that there's room for improvement in comfort compared to some of the myriad competition. " - Max Freeman-Mills
