If you want a better user experience and sound quality and an all round package, the Sony are still the ones to go for IMO.
Will I just got these and all demoing them against the Technics, the 75t, the XM3,1more,L2P and Gbuds+.Really frustrated with the Jabra 85t s. On paper they blow away the 75s, larger driver, hybrid mics, wireless charging,etc. To my layman ears I just can’t see it. It’s like everything they did has a drawback. For example the oval shape is uncomfortable, they lack the balance and pitch adjustability option for ANC, the case is larger for chi charging, they pop and crackle between mode changes. It’s like they are half baked, future updates might help the later. I can look past all that if the sound just blew me away but it doesn’t. I only perceive a slightly wider soundstage and a little more detail. I just can’t justify the cost.
Anyone else feel this way?
I would suggest the L2Ps. They're hybrid and have an EQ in the app so you can easily tune them. They do stick out of the ears, but otherwise are very comfortable. They fit well with the hybrid sound signature, which I also am a fan of.Hello
I am new to this tws
And I would like hear your suggestions?
I prefer hybrid drivers design and sound quality and fit
ANC is not important
Due out on the 20th of january...

Of course I am interested in this sort of thing but BOSE is almost going backwards here. Case doesn't charge so you need the base to charge. So, no auto on but not sure I actually don't mind that but separating charge and case is not ideal. Still no volume control. Still no aptx or adaptive. No blue color which would be nice. Would be nice if BOSE was innovative but they are kinda primitive so $200 is pricey. Due to having some Christmas gifts card balance left I could still be on board to try one out
Back Bay Audio with a new sports model as well.

Think they are $40 but not sure why. Rather they were $50 or $55 or even $59 and give them ambient and their good EQ presets instead of just a bass boost. Seem to sound good and have wireless charging, plenty of battery and the right control scheme along with light weight and comfort.
A brand I thought can do good things and want to see what they can do with a higher level offering but they just stay cheap and simple.
Received this email from Cambridge Audio support this morning. As noted, I have not have a lot of issues so far, but it looks like they are going to try hard to fix issues. Not sure how they released them if these are a problem for new users, but my needs are limited so I am happy, the sound is great. The one thing I am not happy about is it says to charge the "earphones via a USB power source for at least 20 minutes before using them." What does that indicate? I keep them in the case all the time, but does that mean I need to charge the case for 20 minutes? I need to investigate. That is a crazy issue, no?
Dear owner,
Thank you for purchasing our Melomania Touch earphones. We’re excited that you are one of the first to own them.
We’re also completely committed to your satisfaction - it’s extremely important to us that you enjoy these earphones, so we constantly seek feedback on what can be improved, and we’re here should you need any help.
Since the launch of Melomania Touch we’ve become aware of a few things that we could have done better and apologise if your user experience has been less than perfect. Learning from initial feedback, we have come up with some tips which may ease possible frustration.
To improve your product as time goes on, we will make regular firmware updates, so check the Melomania App and update your firmware to enjoy these ongoing enhancements and bug fixes. For some users, updating firmware or changing Audio Mode can require one or more attempts if the Bluetooth connection isn’t completely stable. If this happens, check the earphones are still connected in your phone’s Bluetooth settings and try again. We’re actively working on a firmware fix that will ensure a seamless experience first time, every time.
Please charge your earphones via a USB power source for at least 20 mins before using them.
It may take a few seconds to connect fully, so if you feel the need to press “Refresh” on the app it may help to wait a little.
Also, and importantly, we want to clarify the procedure for properly pairing Melomania Touch. The way our True Wireless technology works means that both earbuds should appear in your Bluetooth device list, but this isn’t obvious unless you know about it. We suggest following these steps to be sure:
- Take the earbuds out of the charging case and ensure they are powered on. If not, touch the outer surface until they turn on (the voice prompt will say “Power on” and the LED will flash white).
- Touch and keep your finger on the outer surface of both earphones, one at a time is fine, until they are waiting to pair (the voice prompt will say “Waiting to pair” and the LED will flash blue and white alternately).
- Look for available Bluetooth devices on your phone or laptop and you’ll see Melomania Touch L and Melomania Touch R. Select either of these and they should pair and connect. You’ll then see a pop-up message asking you to pair the other earphone, accept this.
- Now, in your Bluetooth device list, you will see one Melomania earphone connected and the list of paired devices.
- You can now use the Melomania App to further customise your listening experience.
If you encounter any hiccups, please place the earbuds back in the case for a few seconds, and take them back out. This allows them to reset their connection (just be patient for a few seconds while they reconnect fully).
Again, thank you for choosing Cambridge Audio. We hope you enjoy your new earphones and are here to help, should you need us, please see our Melo FAQs here or contact us at melomania@cambridgeaudio.com.

I believe it's a syntax issue in that they left off the part in bold "Please charge your earphones via a USB power source for at least 20 mins before using them for the first time". Many electronics will have this language in the manual to reduce false positives that an item is defective as opposed to just out of battery.
While I don't own the Melomania Touch, I believe its charging circuity behaves the way many other TWS does in that it keeps the earbuds fully charged when they're in the case provided that the case itself has sufficient charge - else, once the case goes dead and power is not detected by the buds, they'll turn on automatically (like they do when they are removed from the case). Once the case itself is fully charged it should have sufficient capacity for multiple charges of the buds so you don't need to "charge the buds for 20 minutes" before each use.
Of course, for your own peace of mind, you may wish to get this clarified by their support team.
