THANK YOU for the melomania Aaron! I also apreciate the updated comparison methodology, setting P100 against every other contestant headphone, one after another, plus the frequency response next to the image when the sound test was on. Ypu're channel evolved and you became more proefessional. And I follow You for many years now. Great Job! The melomania is indeed quite Linear, defenitely more on the audiophile type of sound tan the bloated XM5 and terribly thin and shouty BOSE, the Sennheiser M4 had a bit more heft and to my ears a bit more desireable texture in the vocals tho, more fun signature for sure. The p100 are a great headphone though, well done Cambridge Audio. Listened on Sennheiser HD 660s and Bang&Olufsen EX Although, being totally honest with You, the "I'll get over You" track is faaaar from a good choice to test all these earphones and headphones, it is poorly mastered/recorder with a very prominent "honky/nasal" character, which is innitialy thought was headphones fault, until I've listened to the FLAC Recording on TIDAL... P.S Can we hope for EDIFIER Stax S5 test as well? :) And maybe an older one, Final Audio UX 3000 - from an Audiophile Japanese Company
@@lixxzuyu there is a playlist on spotify named „ songs to test headphones with „ a very good collection. But I strongly recommend just testing it with most music You are listening to. Sennheiser HD 650 for example won’t be good for EDM but it’s fantastic for vocals etc. But that playlist I gave You have a wide variety of genres.
@@aaronloudnwireless Exactly! Forgot to give a context of my taste for sound profile on headphones. Wondering if your videos in the near future could bring the latest AKG's products N5 Hybrid and N9 Hybrid to the table as well. Thanks so much for your reviews.
M4 still sounds the best among all these. The P100 sounds quite the same as the M4 but please let me know if I'm wrong, the sound stage is airier in the M4 than the P100. P100 vocal sounded like been pressed compared with the M4. Edit: Would love to try it physically in the shop and see how the sound really is.
I got them a couple of days ago. After doing some EQing (upward slope towards the treble) they sound pretty damn good to me. Sounds nice and detailed, with an incredibly powerful and controlled bass. Some downsides I found are: -Huge difference in bass volume between noise cancelling off and on (way more when off, which is my preferred setting for quiet environments like at home). -Increasing the bass in the EQ (made a profile to mitigate the loss of bass with NC), will cause HEAVY clipping/distortion on bass heavy songs, no matter the volume (it becomes baked into the signal), so that entire feature is entirely useless. -When NC is on, low volumes will cause audible artifacts/noise around dialog (and probably other things?). When watching videos of people speaking on below 20% volume, the voice gets a sort of harsh static enveloping every word. Very weird and distracting. NC off doesn't have this. -Stupid design choice for skipping tracks. It's done by double pressing the volume up or down buttons, so when you try to adjust volume a LITTLE too quickly, it will reset or skip your song, just when you might be trying to quickly increase volume for a good part of a song for example. This should IMO have been a long press action, as the long press is actually used on other buttons as well. You really have to be very slow with clicking the volume buttons. (Just found out long pressing will keep changing volume, but slowly, and doesn't feel as good as clicking at your own pace IMO) -A little tight on the head, though not a very big deal. -Black matte color gets greasy stains easily, and can only be really wiped off with a cloth. -Noise cancelling button is placed where I logically grab them to put them on or off, so accidental presses occur often when starting a session or a taking a short break, after which you need to slowly cycle through the 3 modes back to where you wanted it to be. -Some issues with windows bluetooth. Connects fine but with a weird name (Bluetooth LE device xxxxxxxxxx
Be interesting to add Earfun to big league since last update they make so good on anc and transparency version 0.4 and little eq tuning all to 10 only 1khz to 5 be interesting your opinion yesterday i try and shocked how good make all
i bought the melomania p100 too and i found the soundquality to be overall balanced but.. my equalized Anker Soundcore LifeTune still sound better for a fraction of the price. i experienced a boxy mid-hump that you can't get rid with EQ.
Thank you for a well-thought review - you've earned my subscribe. Could you tell me if for the wireless test and comparison you used a device capable of Snapdragon Sound or Snapdradon Sound with Aptx Lossless? Also could you advise if there was any firmware update since you reviewed the phones that improved the weird sound artefacts while walking or any of the other pesky issues? Thanks again for a very well-thought review and comparison, happy to have found your channel.
Thank you for the review! I have a question related to the use in passive mode. Is it possible to use it with an analog DAC when it is completely out of battery? Can you charge and listen at the same time? I assume it is possible when you use out the usbC-usbC cable, right? In analog mode it would be also possible?
Do they leak much sound for people sat next to you, a test I think all headphone reviews should add especially if upsetting work colleagues is an issue.
Q45 is worst him ANC and Transparency is worst than earfuns wave Pro is so good I have own both pairs for comfort I prefer Wave Pro and for sound with tuning in EQ is so good my Q45 is not fit well and when move ANC is awfully to not speak Transparency is not so good with this noise recommendation is try get Earfun like always Earfun so good since have him Air Pro 3 I love how they do all now new Air Pro 4 come earbuds be buy him
It is the first RU-vid channel that makes this type of comparison between Bluetooth headphones, thank you very much, this helps you make a better decision when buying one of these. Rather, I would like you to help me know which one gives the lowest latency to play CODM on my cell phone and not regret my purchase.
