Design & Comfort
The Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 True Wireless Earbuds are quite lightweight to wear as each one only weighs 4.6g. In addition, they are very small and super comfortable for longer use.
With a charging case that only weighs 37g, the Melomania 1 buds feature button controls on each bud as well as LED lights. Moreover, both earbuds have the left and right indicators marked on them.
They are quite uniquely shaped, which makes them look very different from other earbuds. Furthermore, the small profile of these buds prevents them from protruding and being too noticeable when worn.
Nonetheless, the fit these provide is excellent and they also provide great passive noise isolation by making a seal in the ears. You are provided with multiple ear tips to choose the most suitable tips for your ears. These include both foam and silicone tips.
The charging case that the Melomania 1 earbuds are accompanied by very much resembles the AirPods charging case. In the front of it, there’s a bar of LED lights to display power status.
With a magnetic interior to accommodate the earbuds, the charging case also features a magnetic lid that gives off a crisp snap when it closes shut, protecting the buds from dirt and damage.
Looking at the design of the charging case and the earbuds, both have a very plain, simple, and minimalist design. You’ll see the Cambridge Audio branding behind the charging case.
Moreover, the charging case is a small enough size to be put away in a pocket and traveled with.
