The fit is comfortable for me, the sound is great, the noise cancellation is good, the phone calls are always more than successful.. there’s just one thing that gets my goat, and it’s that the headphones like to randomly not only unpair, but make a loud feedback noise (depending on how much they’re turned up of course) for at least 3 seconds. This I would like to see resolved, it didn’t start happening until later on. I think it may have to do with me using one pair at a time, either with one in the case and one in my ear, or just both out and have one sitting outside the case nearby. I have noticed they even trip up when I for instance block an ear with my hand. So, there’s no doubt these earbuds are touchy when it comes to connectivity. But having said all that, I still am very happy with my purchase and I am happy to keep using them, I just would be even happier with a solution to the one issue I’ve noticed. **Developer response:** Hello smackaroon.

We're here to help. Regards, The Melomania Team ### 4/5 — Only one is charging *2023-05-21, version 2.2.0* Hi, my left earphone is not charging. The case is and the right earphone is but no matter how many times I plug the case in my left earphone has stayed at 0% for months now. I’ve cleaned it out and there’s nothing blocking it charging. ### 4/5 — Close to perfection *2023-05-06, version 2.2.0* The only gripe I have with the app is that it always asks for location upon opening, even though A: I have enabled it ‘When Using’, and B: Why does it need to? But these are minor gripes, for me the sound quality is what matters, and I’m very happy with what Cambridge Audio deliver. ### 3/5 — Intermittent good sound *2023-04-19* I’ve had these earbuds for probably at least 6 months. They sound pretty good and I can have different settings through the app for music or speech which is nice. I do have an issue with them staying connected however. I take a walk for an hour or two most days and when both are on they will disconnect from bluetooth. I finally counted the number of times and it was 14x within a 1.5 hour walk which is pretty typical. No matter if my phone was in my back pocket or shirt pocket or my hand or whether I was in a mall or outside. That is frustrating. The earbuds also don’t keep a charge much more than an hour anymore so I will put the weakest one in the case to charge for 10-15 minutes then switch. While using only one it doesn’t disconnect so I think it’s something in how they work together. **Developer response:** Hi OTreviewer. Thanks for your review.

We are here to help. Regards, The Melomania Team ### 4/5 — Lots of control, so far no problems. *2023-03-08, version 2.2.0* I’m still fairly new to the Melomania 1+ earbuds, but so far I am glad I bought them. The Melomania app gives a lot of control, with a 5 channel equaliser that allows you to save your own presets, and a user interface that seems sensible and uncluttered. All the control I need but no feature overload. ### 2/5 — Rubbish App! *2022-12-31, version 2.1.0* Lots of headphone dropout. Battery level indicator stuck on 95 & 100% Finder intermittent & unreliable. Very poor UI !! Good ideas, poorly executed. What a shame…..in turn shattering the notion of a quality brand! ### 2/5 — Melomania Touch need firmware update asap *2022-11-03, version 2.1.0* My Melomania touch’s are currently riddled with issues. They constantly disconnect from my phone and I have to re-pair them each time this happens. The app keeps resetting which touch controls I want on and off. A firmware update would surely fix these issues. Whenever a friend asks if I would recommend these headphones I always reply with a firm no. ### 4/5 — Superb! *2022-10-09, version 2.1.0* Just needs a balance control to get 5* from me! ### 2/5 — Can't get past serial number *2021-11-27* Just received a pair of the + entered sn key board covers everything stuck here. **Developer response:** Hello rockn-rolla. Thanks for leaving a review. We are aware that on some iOS devices this issue exists. Please rest assured that we will work to improve this in a new version. We apologise that you have been affected by this. Kind regards, The Melomania Team ### 4/5 — Sound is A+ *2021-11-07, version 1.8.0* Easy to connect . Make sure the pods are correctly Insert in the case or else you will think they are broken . For the price range , one of the best headphone I have ever owned . I give 4 stars . ### 5/5 — Outstanding - AGAIN! *2021-09-15, version 1.8.0* Because I mainly use my M2T’s with a dedicated MP3 player that’s not Apple branded (I also jumped on the M1+ on release that I use more so on my Apple devices) and being aware of the app update through my M1+ I connected my M2’s to my Apple to update the firmware as well as ensure everything was spiffing with the M2’s to use on the iStuff ... I admit I am blown away by the Cambridge in ear audio so it would have to be a production disaster for me to state anything negative - but I am also a brutally honest in my opinions - I hope my word is good enough when I state this: After updating everything and I am listening as I type ... it’s as though I just bought a new set of earphones 😳 I am on an older i5s -(communication isn’t my priority in life - Music is !!) - it’s hard to believe that a firmware update and app update could make such an impact, especially to a system I already deemed first class ... After early trials of wireless a few years ago I never thought I would ever leave wired ... I haven’t - I still have a set of now ornamental and very very expensive wired earphones ... since I gave wireless another look just for convenience really - I was fortunate it coincided with Cambridge’s new venture into the industry ... incredibly I have been given a set of another brand of wireless and also a very expensive set in payment for fixing a car - I tried both for comparison purposes, if I had paid the asking for one of those sets I would of been very disappointed, they weren’t even close to the quality of any of these packages from CA ... The equaliser is not to shabby either - my personal settings for iStuff I found best with the i5’s built in equaliser OFF and use the app options ... My dad is 75 and he can use this app such is the user friendliness of it ... it’s another FIVE star rating and another 10/10 on the firmware If Carlsberg did wireless and an app ... it wouldn’t be anywhere near this 😄 There’s no gamble - Silk for the price of paper ....🎶 ### 5/5 — Great app for Amazing earbuds *2021-09-07* I usually wear hearing aids but not of course when I am listening to music on my Melomania earbuds. I have learned to play only music that I have downloaded (onto my iPhone) when I go on my walks. I turn off WiFi and cellular data leaving only the Bluetooth connection. I never lose a connection and enjoy awesome sound every time. **Developer response:** Hello JazzBoneFan. Thank you for your review. We are truly delighted to learn that you are enjoying your earbuds.

Kind regards, The Melomania Team ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No fix for worst Bluetooth ever *2025-03-16* Touch earbuds are trash - like so many others have noted, they constantly lose connection, & need to be re-paired. Connecting one earbud causes other to drop connection. Can’t update firmware because app requires both to be connected- but previous updates did not improve worst Bluetooth connectivity ever. ### 1/5 — Great sound IF they stay connected *2024-09-25, version 2.2.2* The Melomania 1+ were a birthday present and once I’d connected them (after numerous attempts) to my iPhone I was extremely happy with the sound. That was until they started randomly disconnecting or cutting out. Tried everything (even keeping my phone in my breast pocket for a signal) and just gave in and purchased a different brand. A friend has the same disconnecting issues with them as well, and it seems to be a common problem. Shame really as their sound is pretty good ### 1/5 — Atrocious software *2023-09-30, version 2.2.0* Headphones are very good, excellent sound. The functionality and connectivity is a completely different issue. Wish I bought apple product, it would actually work properly ### 1/5 — App is awful *2022-12-04, version 2.1.0* Buds themselves are 4 stars but the app is just unusable, it won’t even recognize my Melomania’s. ### 1/5 — Terrible earphones *2022-10-13, version 2.1.0* Melomania + are the worst most unreliable earphones I’ve ever owned. Constantly disconnecting and eventually failing to work at all. I am now on my fourth pair in less than a year. They don’t offer a refund after 30 days and just send another pair of their useless faulty earphones, I’ll be sending this pair back asap. Oh and before tech support replies to this comment I’ve updated the firmware, fully charged the earphones etc etc . ### 1/5 — Awful *2022-03-22, version 1.8.0* Awful app. Zero functionality, freezes every time I try to put my serial number in. Next to useless. ### 1/5 — Infuriating App *2021-11-19, version 1.8.0* Impossible to log into app. Tried to register with email, but clicking on email link sends to app which sends you back to email registration and round in circles. I still haven’t managed to do it and now lost one headphone that I can’t use the app to locate. When I had tried to register the serial number , after entering the keyboard did not drop down to allow me to continue and register headphones. Not fit for purpose! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-03-02, version 1.2.0* Won’t connect with the headphones that are linked to the phone. Tried countless times. Pointless app ### 1/5 — An update *2021-01-23, version 1.1.3* Great an update, that doesn’t work for me. I’ve been waiting for this update in the hope that I would notice overall improvements. The update was downloaded and shows 0.92 and the firmware 1.1.8 for both L and R when I try and update, I’m informed I’m on the latest update, not 1.2.3 as suggested. Love the style of the buds and the sound is OK but so many problems, it’s really taken to much time. Even the fully charged buds drained battery while in the case when the case ran out of juice. ### 1/5 — Make the app compatible with the 1 *2021-01-04, version 1.1.1* I am sure this would be very easy to make most of the functionality of this app compatible with the Melomania 1 Please consider making your many users happy in 2021 with the ability to fine tune our older buds ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Melomania *2024-12-07, version 2.2.3* Love the app it’s so easy to navigate and comes with pre made options for different types of music also I really like the melomania touch earbuds that I own ### 5/5 — Helpful *2023-11-19* This app is always helpful for earbuds. Normally Cambridge Audio earbuds have a problem with connectivity, but with this app if you install framework updates many of them will be solved. **Developer response:** Hello Hoobakht. Thank you for the kind review. We're delighted to learn that you are enjoying the app. If there are any features that you wish to see in a future version of the app, please feel free to share your thoughts via the in-app Feedback page, we'd love to hear from you. Regards, The Melomania Team ### 5/5 — The ear buds are epic *2023-02-28, version 2.2.0* Putting the app on one side I just wanted to say that I think the ear buds are epic. Crystal clear and good bass. The app seems to do the job fine too but most of all I love the product. ### 5/5 — Son de haute qualité *2023-02-07, version 2.2.0* Un son non coloré fidèle à la source, compatible AAC et autres; vraiment de la très haute qualité pour ce prix ### 5/5 — Best in class *2023-01-25, version 2.1.0* Lost my first pair of Melomanias and after trying other buds costing 4x as much - went and bought the new 1+ for £50 as they sounded better than all the others. Never had any pairing or software issues with either of my Melomanias. Software is logical and works well. As they are built by an audiophile company you can expect the sound quality to be impressive and it is. Amazing for the price point. The app is an added bonus, equaliser works very well. Just awesome… ### 5/5 — Great sounds from earbuds and brilliant app to match *2022-10-24, version 2.1.0* Been using these for around a year now and both the app and Melomania 1+ earbuds are superb. Just ordered a second pair so that I always have a pair with me. ### 5/5 — First impressions *2022-07-20, version 2.1.0* After moving away from a well know brand i am really impressed with the functionality the quslity of sound and supberb value for money ### 5/5 — Wow *2022-03-14, version 1.8.0* I’ve had these Melomania 1+ for a few hours and Wow! I really like the app and how easy it is to use. The only thing I can’t find is ‘where did I leave them’ which happens occasionally and it would be helpful if this option was still available. But so far I’m super Impressed ### 5/5 — Who needs noise cancelling? *2022-02-22, version 1.8.0* When you get “In Ears”that fit well and superb audio quality you get immersed and the outside world just fades away. These unassuming buds do all that and more, great value and quality. ### 5/5 — Buds wont recognized by the app problem. *2021-11-22, version 1.8.0* No matter what I try the melomania app wont find the earbuds. Maybe latest apple iphone update 15.1 to blame. I think Cambridge guys need to jump on this issue as soon as possible. The solution it turns out is simple. I was sold Melomania 1 instead of Melomania 1 plus on amazon. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
