3rd July 2024: Cambridge Audio, the British music and audio pioneer, is excited to launch the first over-ear model in the award-winning Melomania wireless headphones series – Melomania P100.
Melomania P100 builds on over 50 years of audio expertise and an unashamed passion for music to deliver truly emotive sound from meticulously tuned premium drivers and hi-fi-grade Class AB amplification.
World-class 60-hour battery life (extending to 100 hours with noise-cancelling turned off) ensures that the effortlessly engaging listening experience could easily last a working week or a lengthy holiday.
“Melomania P100 is the closest you can get to a personal, portable Cambridge Audio hi-fi system. Our award-winning true wireless models gave our listeners an on-the-go entry to the Cambridge sound, but we wanted to offer music lovers a flagship over-ear option as well,” says James Johnson-Flint, owner of Cambridge Audio.
P100 joins the recently launched M100 true wireless earphones to form the new Melomania range for 2024.
GREAT BRITISH SOUND SINCE 1968
As with all Cambridge products, P100 has been designed, tuned and engineered at our own London music venue and HQ, Melomania, by the same passionate team behind our award-winning hi-fi equipment.
A custom 40mm premium three-layer composite driver with neodymium magnets has been matched with Class AB amplification, as used on Cambridge’s highly acclaimed CX Series hi-fi amplifiers, for incredible sound quality – deep, controlled bass, realistic vocals and beautiful treble clarity.
To ensure this combination of premium driver and class-leading amplification is allowed to reach its full potential, P100 is packing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Sound with aptX Lossless wireless technology. This enables wireless playback in CD quality with no lossy compression.
The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) offers three user-selectable settings to give the best user experience.
CUSTOMISABLE SOUND
Right out of the box, P100 is tuned to deliver the acclaimed Cambridge sound – transparent and natural, taking you closer to the music without distorting it. But everyone is different, not just in their tastes but in how they hear. That’s why P100 offers a full array of options to help you find the sound that suits you.
Within the Melomania Connect control app, audio can be personalised to the listener’s taste. A seven-band EQ can be used to tweak the sonics manually to an astoundingly precise degree, while six presets are offered tailored to multiple music genres.
P100 supports Gaming Mode, which ensures near-perfect screen/sound sync while playing the latest games, and can correct syncing issues with certain video content. Latency has been reduced to just 80ms.
ALL-WEEK BATTERY & WEARABILITY
P100 offers up to 60 hours of playback from just a single charge with ANC activated, or 100 hours with ANC switched off. That’s enough for a week of work calls or listening to music and podcasts by the hotel pool.
Fast charging means that just 5 minutes of charge time offers another 2 hours of ANC-enabled playback or 4 hours without ANC. Never be caught short again
For an ultra-comfortable fit, the earcups have pads made from carefully selected memory foam covered in faux leather. Enormous amounts of time and testing have been put into selecting the ideal clamping force to suit the largest variety of head sizes.
ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS
The new Melomania development gave us an opportunity to focus on using sustainable materials wherever possible. We’ve introduced 50% recycled plastic, and P100 are also shipped in 100% recyclable plastic-free packaging. Importantly for even greater longevity of use, P100’s battery and earcup pads are all user-replaceable.
This drive to create a more sustainable product builds on Cambridge’s support as Founding Donor of the eco-music charity EarthPercent, which was co-founded by the iconic Brian Eno.
