Buy It!
A good way to go cordless. Sound is quite good out of the box, even without using the app profiles. It doesn’t sound like they “boosted the bass” so that is a good thing, IMHO. To my ears the over all sound quality seems to have a slight hint of muddiness to to my ear, but not so much that it is annoying or objectionable. The quality is certainly better than most other headphones that I have listened to. Great features – user replaceable battery and ear pads – but no spare ear pads included 🙁 You can change almost all of the settings from buttons on the headphones… so no stupid, annoying phone/ipad app is needed… unless you really can’t live without one… and then there is an app that you can download. The only way to create different music profiles is to use the app. Synching to my ipad was a snap. Solid BT connection, even at a distance. When you remove the headphones, they automatically pause playing sound. When you put them back on the sound picks up where you left off. It’s great that you can set varying degrees of sound transparancy. Full transparency and noise cancelling both work quite well. You can use the volume buttons to move forward and back through track listings. There is a button where you can pause the sound playback. I have a smallish head, and unlike other headphones that I have, these fit well and don’t slip forward or off when I bend over. They basically stay put and are fairly comfortale to wear for several hours at a time. The soft plastic ear pads don’t breathe and thus contribute to a bit of dampness around my ears, but not enough to be a problem. I haven’t tried these headphones for gaming or for making phone calls, but they should be great for those applications due to the built in mic – there is no cheesy looking microphone sticking out on a rubber coated bendable wire. I have had good luck with other Cambridge products in the past and these headphones appear to be following that pattern. Hey Cambridge… can you put a battery strength indicator on the next edition of these headphones?

Suoerb sound and build quality! Really enjoying listening to these headphones. Easy to equalise to your own sound preference.

– bonne qualité de fabrication dans l’ensemble, aucun grincement. Design idéal même pour les gens avec une tête large comme moi. La mousse de d’arceaux est toutefois un peu dure, j’ai dû rallonger le casque pour éviter que ça appuie trop sur le dessus du crâne au détriment d’une meilleure tenue. Le confort est tout de même très bon. Au niveau des oreilles, c’est légèrement serré mais sinon le casque ne me fait pas suer contrairement à mes autres casques (XM3, Audio technica). Je peux le porter sans problème plusieurs heures.- coffret qualitatif avec des câbles USB C/USB C et USB C/jack; idéal pour le brancher directement sur son smartphone ou pc.- utilisation et détection rapide sur smartphone et pc.- superbe son ne nécessitant aucun égalisateur. Mon XM3 fait pâle figure à côté.- pas super convaincu par l’ANC qui rajoute un bruit sourd désagréable à mon goût lorsqu’aucune musique est joué. L’isolation passive se suffit en elle-même. Le mode transparent est ok.- son en connexion filaire est bon mais en très léger deçà par rapport au Bluetooth. Bon point : on peut utiliser l’ANC avec le mode filaire.- multipoint fonctionnel mais qui peut parfois occasionner des micro coupures de son si un flux de son se lance sur mon smartphone pendant une lecture de musique sur mon pc.- traduction française approximative (“détection de l’usure” plutôt que “détection d’utilisation” par exemple) mais elle a le mérite d’être là.- batterie impressionnante : 7% d’utilisé pour 10h d’écoute- aptx HD pris en charge sur pc même si c’est pas explicité dans les spécifications du casque.- utilisation de boutons pour les commandes à place du tactile : j’adore.Bref un casque parfait pour moi qui vise surtout une utilisation sédentaire avec les avantages du sans fil

As an owner of the original Melomania 1 in-ears, I was excited to see Cambridge Audio announce their first over ear headphones. Wonderful soundstage considering the closed back design, and a satisfying neutral profile out of the box. Noise cancelling works well in most environments, drowning out droning tones such as train engines with ease. I find the cups sit tight enough on the ears that the ANC isn’t necessary for everyday background noise. The build quality is exceptional and feels premium in the hand and on the head. The swivel and flex to the headband provide ample opportunity for a good fit, and the phones sit comfortably on my head for hours at a time. Physical buttons located on the bottom edge of each earcup make changing volume and the like an easy task. The battery life is exceptional, with my pair not needing a charge yet since I bought them despite frequent use across plenty of commutes. The microphone quality is great and perfectly usable for phone calls and voice notes, with the clear voice technology working well to remove wind sounds and such.My only complaint would be that Google Fast Pair doesn’t seem to work as intended, given that even when paired and in use I’ll get pop ups to pair the headphones with my device and following that prompt, an error when trying to autodownload the app. However, other than this hiccup they work flawlessly. Highly recommend.
