Cambridge Audio Melomania A100 SE – Hi-Fi Amplification, Lossless Wireless

The Cambridge Audio Melomania A100 SE is the Special Edition of Cambridge's affordable true wireless earbuds, built by the same engineers who design the brand's CX and EX amplifiers. Class A/B amplification drives a 10 mm driver in each earbud, aptX Lossless and LDAC carry the signal, and Dolby Audio adds a wider, more spacious presentation when you want it. At Soundium it comes in Blue, Black and White with a 3-year warranty.

Key Features

• Class A/B amplification: The same amplifier topology Cambridge uses in its CX and EX hi-fi components, miniaturised to drive 10 mm drivers with recycled neodymium magnets.
• Dolby Audio with spatial sound: Switch it on in the Melomania Connect app for a more open, less in-your-head presentation and clearer dialogue in films and podcasts. It works with any source device.
• Revised SE tuning: A less restrictive grille mesh and updated voicing aim for deeper bass, richer mids and more air in the treble than the original A100.
• aptX Lossless and LDAC: Snapdragon Sound support for up to 24-bit/96 kHz streams, plus aptX Adaptive, AAC and SBC for everything else.
• Qualcomm Kalimba DSP: A dedicated dual-core 240 MHz audio processor keeps distortion down and latency low, with a gaming mode under 80 ms.
• Adaptive hybrid ANC: Noise cancelling that adjusts to your surroundings, with transparency mode and wind noise reduction.
• Six-microphone array: Three mics per earbud with Qualcomm cVc echo cancelling and noise suppression for clear calls.
• Up to 39 hours of playback: 6.5 hours per charge and up to 39 hours with the case (ANC off); 10 minutes of fast charging gives about 3.2 hours.

Customer Benefits

The A100 SE puts genuine hi-fi engineering into a pair of everyday earbuds. With a phone that supports aptX Lossless or LDAC, you get CD-quality or high-resolution wireless playback, and the Class A/B amplification keeps that detail controlled rather than harsh. Reviewers single out how open the sound is for in-ears, and Dolby Audio widens it further for films and long listening sessions. Day to day, multipoint keeps your phone and laptop connected at once, Google Fast Pair speeds up setup, the case charges on a wireless pad or over USB-C, and the IPX5 rating handles rain and workouts. The Melomania Connect app adds a 7-band EQ, remappable touch controls and firmware updates.
