Cambridge Audio - Melomania A100

I have checked about 10 of them. Most of wireless earbuds do have Noise cancelling, that you can switch off. I think (for your budget) per sound quality - Cambridge Audio A100 is the best, followed by Creative Aurvana Ace 2. Another point to consider is - if you pay attention to the quality of sound, then you do not want to be limited by the used codec, and might consider using lossless sound as a source. In this case, you need to see what lossless Codec your husband's phone in fact supports aptX Lossless or LDAC).

I know your pain, I got mine recently and I went through the same rabbit hole... I personally started with both budget and with few key important requirements like: very good sound, I need it for commuting and occasional calls in the office, I like the airpods style instead the Sony or Sennheiser one, I have an iPhone so good app for ios etc. Once I got my priorities I went on youtube and on the usual website with lists of top XX headphones for 2025 etc, just to have an idea and once I collected few brands/models that are interesting I started refining my criteria and excluding some buds. At the end I bought the Cambridge Audio Melomania A100. Not perfect but very happy with them.

Cambridge audio melomania are astounding for quality, I absolutely love my pair and their ANC are very good too

Cambridge audio melomania, absolutely adore my pair

Cambridge Audio Melomania A100 It’s stunning, well fitted and sounds amazing

Honestly take a look at Cambridge Audio. They are a hifi brand and often have deals on. I have had a pair of the melomania +1 for a few years now and still going very strong. Audio quality great. Recently upgraded to the A100 and the audio is better than anything that I've heard, and they have tonnes of features such as ANC, transparency, wear detection. Even have AptX lossless capability. Since trying them, for the price and quality, I cannot recommend anything else as the only way you'll beat them is either by spending a fortune, or getting second hand (neither of which is ideal).

I bough the Cambridge Audio Melomania A100 Earbuds few weeks ago. Good anc, great quality overall sound, long battery life. Overall very happy with them. I upgraded from the jabra elite 75t and the difference is crazy

So far no issues

Cambridge Audio - Melomania. Both the in ear buds and over ear, are fantastic bits of kit

Second this. Awesome sound. I had the pairing issues but a firmware update fixed it

I listen to music almost all day in the office. The Cambridge Melomania a100 and the technics az100 have long battery life 

With anc off, I think the technics az100 and Melomania a100 get close to 10 hours 

I'm definitely not an audiophile, but I really like the Cambridge Audio A100s. Sound quality and clarity is fantastic in my opinion. The ANC is probably not the strongest, but it's sufficient for me. At the current sale price of $119 they are an easy recvommend for me.

The only issue I've had is when first pairing multiple devices. I had to turn off Bluetooth on my phone in order to connect to my pc for the first time then turn it back. No issues otherwise.
