Samsung Galaxy Buds Live vs Cambridge Audio Melomania 1

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live are a great choice for those looking for an open, airy sound with punchy bass. They have 12mm drivers and a big bass port, providing good detail in the mids and highs. However, their active noise cancellation is not as effective as other true wireless earbuds on the market, so they may not be the best choice for those who need strong noise cancelling capabilities. Additionally, some users may find that the silicone tips don't provide a secure fit and that memory foam tips from third-party sellers may be necessary to get a better seal.

Verdict

The Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 earbuds offer a great sound experience for a reasonable price. They have a mid-forward and bright sound profile without lacking too much warmth on the low end. The battery life is strong and they are easy to use with their intuitive controls. However, their mic has a sub-par recording quality and their battery performance falls short of advertised claims.
